Kolb's Learning Styles and Experiential Learning Cycle
This cycle of theory includes two different levels: a four stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles.
The Experiential Learning Cycle
This theory is described by a four stage learning cycle in which the learner has to go through all the stages for effective learning.
- Stage1 Concrete Learning: This is the initial stage of learning cycle in which a new experience is encountered and relates to experience faced in daily life.
- Stage2 Reflective Observation: The second stage of experiential learning cycle is reflective observation. It occurs when a person has new experiences (Lama, 2014.). Under this the experiences are being observed and reflected upon and can create confusion if the ideas does not suit.
- Stage3 Abstract conceptualization: Under this stage, new ideas or modification of an existing idea is done. This theory also resolve confusion if created in the reflection stage.
- Stage4 Active Experimentation: After following the above all stages , the learner adopts the ideas and implement it to analyse the results. It can also be termed as a practising stage.
Learning Styles
Learning styles are adopted according to the situation and preferences of a person.Breif descriptions of the four Kolb learning styles is discussed.
Diverging:
Under this style, people are sensitive and they look at things in their own way and are best in watching situation from different perspective, they do not collect information or use ideas to resolve problems.
Assimilating:
Under this style, Ideas and concepts are given more importance than people. People involved in this style are less focused on people and concentrate more on ideas. This style brings effectiveness in information.
Converging:
Under this style practical use of ideas and theories are done. People involved in this style focuses on technical tasks and problems rather than interpersonal issues and they tend to do experiment with new ideas and techniques and work with practical applications. They are quick in decision making because they find answers to questions or problems.
Accommodating:
Under this style people depend on others for gathering information rather than analysing their ideas to the situation (Lin, 2012.). They rely on intuition rather than thinking by themselves and implementing their own ideas to the problems and are influenced by new challenges.
