Study Notes
Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory
- Kolb's theory focuses on a four-stage learning cycle and four distinct learning styles.
- Learning is a process of transforming experience into knowledge.
- The cycle involves concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
The Experiential Learning Cycle
- Concrete experience: Encountering a new experience or reinterpreting existing ones.
- Reflective observation: Reflecting on the experience in light of existing knowledge; noting inconsistencies.
- Abstract conceptualization: Forming new ideas or modifying existing concepts based on the reflection.
- Active experimentation: Applying the new concepts to the world to see the results.
Learning Styles
- Kolb's theory identifies four learning styles based on preferences in the cycle.
- Styles are represented in a two-by-two matrix of processing and perception.
- Learning styles include diverging (concrete experience, reflective observation), assimilating (abstract conceptualization, reflective observation), converging (abstract conceptualization, active experimentation), and accommodating (concrete experience, active experimentation).
Learning as an Integrated Process
- Learning is a continuous process, with each stage influencing the next.
- It's possible to enter the cycle at any stage in the learning process, rather than following the stages sequentially every time.
- Each stage supports the next; effective learning is achieved by executing all four stages.
- Learning leads to more complex and abstract 'mental models' of subjects.
