This theory focuses on how the learners process information cognitively; exists in 2 levels: 1. the 4-stage cycle 2. 4 separate learning styles
Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning
26
This refers to the acquisition of abstract concepts that can be applied flexibly in different situations
Learning
27
This is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience
Learning (acc. to Kolb)
28
What is step 1 in Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning?
Concrete Experience (feeling)
29
What is step 2 in Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning?
Reflective observation (watching)
30
What is step 3 in Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning?
Abstract conceptualization (thinking)
31
What is step 4 in Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning?
Active experimentation (doing)
32
What cycle stage of Kolb's theory does this venipuncture example belong to? - you were there to watch the blood get extracted from you - OR you watched when the teacher demonstrated - you felt or experienced it yourself - you used your senses
Concrete experience (CE) or feeling
33
What cycle stage of Kolb's theory does this venipuncture example belong to? - you watched the extraction or demonstration by the professor consciously
Reflective observation (RO) or watching
34
What cycle stage of Kolb's theory does this venipuncture example belong to? - you develop ideas on how to proceed
Abstract conceptualization (AC) or thinking
35
What cycle stage of Kolb's theory does this venipuncture example belong to? - you actively experiment with actions - you participate to do what the teacher demonstrated - you try it out
Active experimentation (AE) or doing
36
This is seen when a person progresses through Kolb's 4-stage cycle
Effective learning
37

Processing continuum
38
Which continuum are the following statements referring to: - Emotional response - How one thinks or feels about it - You need concrete experience (used your senses and witnessed it yourself) - By just thinking, you’ve already grasped information - aka the north-south axis
