 EXPERIENTAL LEARNING |
| Process by which experience is translated into concepts then used to guide choices in new situations, building new experiences. The theory of experiential learning has been developed by the psychologist David Kolb who sees immediate and concrete experiences as the basis for observation and reflection. These observations and reflections are assimilated and distilled into abstract concepts producing new implications for action which can be actively tested in turn creating new experiences. The Kolb’s experiential learning theory has four learning styles: [1] |
| Learning style | Content | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Activists | Concrete experiences, doing, having experiences | Attending trainings workshop |
| Reflectors | Reflective observation, reviewing, thinking | Own self-reflections evaluations peer observation assessment |
| Theorists | Converging, abstract conceptualization, exploring | Readings, personal development |
| Pragmatists | Accommodating, planning, using lessons learned, and active experimentation | Effective change practical issues |
