Study Notes
Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory
- Kolb's theory focuses on two levels: a four-stage learning cycle and four learning styles.
- Learning involves acquiring abstract concepts applicable in various situations. Experience initiates the development of these concepts.
- Learning is a process of transforming experience to create knowledge (Kolb, 1984, p. 38).
The Experiential Learning Cycle
- The learning cycle typically involves four stages:
- Concrete experience
- Reflective observation
- Abstract conceptualization
- Active experimentation
- These stages are interconnected and cyclical.
- Effective learning occurs through the continuous cycle of experience, reflection, conceptualization, and experimentation.
Learning Styles
- Different learning styles exist, with each person tending towards a specific style more than others.
- The style is the result of choosing variables on two continuums: processing and perception.
- Kolb's model presents four learning styles arranged into a matrix as follows :
- Active experimentation, Reflective Observation, Concrete Experience, Abstract Conceptualization
- accommodating, diverging, converging, assimilating
- Learning styles and preferences are influenced by factors like social environment and cognitive structure.
Learning as an Integrated Process
- Kolb views learning as an integrated process, with distinct stages reinforcing one another.
- It is possible to involve the stages of the learning cycle flexibly, starting from any point.
- Reaching all four stages of the cycle in a learning process leads to a more complex and comprehensive "mental model."
Learning Style Preferences
- It's important to understand that learning styles can be understood via how a person approaches a task ("processing") and how a person feels about it ("perception").
- People cannot engage with different variables of learning styles simultaneously.
- Learning styles are crucial to understanding how to best engage or stimulate learners.
