CPA and Experiential Learning

In the concrete stage of the model, learners use:

• Actual objects and manipulatives

• Pictures and diagrams

• Symbols and equations

• Language and discussion

Pictorial representations in the model help learners:

• Develop symbolic understanding

• Engage in hands-on activities

• Make connections to real-life situations

• Use verbal reasoning skills

What is the purpose of the abstract stage in the model?

• Reinforcing concrete experiences

• Developing mathematical fluency

• Encouraging collaborative learning

• Promoting creativity and imagination

Which of the following is a key characteristic of the concrete pictorial abstract model?

• It is a linear model with fixed stages

• It emphasizes the use of technology for learning

• It caters to individual learning styles and preferences

• It focuses solely on rote memorization and repetition

Experiential learning is a learning approach that emphasizes:

• Passive listening and note-taking.

• Rote memorization and repetition.

• Hands-on experiences and active engagement.

• The use of technology for instruction.

According to the experiential learning cycle proposed by David Kolb, which of the following is the correct sequence of stages?

• Reflection, observation, conceptualization, experimentation.

• Observation, experimentation, conceptualization, and reflection.

• Conceptualization, reflection, observation, experimentation.

• Experimentation, reflection, observation, conceptualization.

One of the key principles of experiential learning is that learning should be:

• Isolated from real-world applications.

• Focused solely on theoretical concepts.

• Relevant to real-life situations and contexts.

• Passive and teacher-centered.

In the context of experiential learning, the role of the instructor is primarily to:

• Provide lectures and disseminate information.

• Assess and evaluate students' performance.

• Facilitate the learning process and guide reflection.

• Control and direct the learning activities.

Experiential learning can be particularly effective in developing which of the following skills?

• Rote memorization and regurgitation of facts.

• Abstract thinking and conceptual understanding.

• Passive listening and note-taking abilities.

• Standardized test-taking strategies.
