Experience Learning - 4 steps of learning cycle from Kolb’s Theory

​

Kolb's experiential learning cycle concept divides the learning process into a cycle of four basic theoretical components: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.

 

Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory presents a cycle of four elements

​

1. Concrete Experience
   Thinking: “The learner actively experiments with a concept” (Fewster-Thuente & Batteson, 2018)

2. Reflective Observation
   Watching: “The learner consciously reflects back on that experience” (Fewster-Thuente & Batteson, 2018)

3. Abstract Conceptualization
   Thinking: “The learner attempts to generalize a model of what is experienced” (Fewster-Thuente & Batteson, 2018)

4. Active Experimentation
   Doing: “The learner applies the model to a new experiment” (Fewster-Thuente & Batteson, 2018)
