From Learning and training wiki
 EXPERIENTIAL 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. [1] |
| The Kolb’s experiential learning theory has four learning styles: |
| Learning style | Content | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Activists | Concrete experiences | Attending training workshops |
| Reflectors | Reflective observation, reviewing, and thinking | self-reflections, peer observation, and assessment |
| Theorists | Converging, abstract conceptualization, and exploring | Readings and personal development |
| Pragmatists | Accommodating, planning, using lessons learned, and active experimentation | Practical issues |
