Kolb's Experiential Learning

Kiara, Poppy, and Matilda are working on a group project. After experiencing a failed experiment, they decide to make sense of what happened by pulling in other information and theories. Which step of the learning cycle are they in?

• Active Experimentation

• Abstract Conceptualization

• Reflective Observation

• Concrete Experience

In a group project, Isabella, Arthur, and Alexander have different learning styles. Alexander, for instance, is more focused on what aspect of learning?

• He learns through doing and uses his intuition to figure things out

• He enjoys using knowledge to solve practical problems

• He enjoys ideas and theories but is less interested in the people side of things

• He collects information and uses his imagination to solve problems

Alexander, Harry, and Rohan are working on a project. What would be the main focus of Rohan if he has a converging learning style?

• Collecting information and using imagination to solve problems

• Learning through doing and using intuition to figure things out

• Enjoying ideas and theories but less interested in the people side of things

• Enjoying using knowledge to solve practical problems

Amelia, Samuel, and Oliver are part of a group project. Amelia enjoys using knowledge to solve practical problems, Samuel enjoys ideas and theories but is less interested in the people side of things. What is the main focus of Oliver if he has an accommodating learning style?

• He enjoys using knowledge to solve practical problems

• He enjoys ideas and theories but is less interested in the people side of things

• He learns through doing and uses intuition to figure things out

• He enjoys collecting information and using imagination to solve problems

Ella, Elsie, and Sebastian are discussing the advantages of Kolb's learning cycle in their study group. According to them, what is one of the advantages associated with Kolb's learning cycle?

• It can be difficult for a trainer to accommodate a broad range of learning techniques in a group situation

• It provides a blend of traditional teaching plus hands-on learning

• It's not always obvious how to apply the model in the real world

• The continuous cycle approach to learning is ideal if you need to take an exam

Anaya, Eesha, and Thomas are attending a training session. The trainer is using Kolb's learning cycle. What could be a potential disadvantage in this situation?

• The trainer might find it challenging to accommodate the diverse learning techniques of Anaya, Eesha, and Thomas in a group situation

• The training provides a blend of traditional teaching plus hands-on learning

• It's not always obvious for Anaya, Eesha, and Thomas how to apply the model in the real world

• The continuous cycle approach to learning is ideal if Anaya, Eesha, and Thomas need to take an exam

Oscar, Kiara, and Arjun are learning to bake a cake. They have just gathered all the ingredients. What is the second step in their learning cycle?

• Active Experimentation: They start baking without any instructions

• Reflective Observation: They watch a baking tutorial

• Concrete Experience: They recall a previous experience of baking

• Abstract Conceptualization: They create a baking plan based on the tutorial and their previous experience

Chloe, Evie, and Isabella are learning about the learning cycle in their psychology class. According to their textbook, what is the third step of the learning cycle that they would encounter after having a concrete experience and reflecting on it?

• Concrete Experience

• Reflective Observation

• Abstract Conceptualization

• Active Experimentation

Matilda, Emily, and Evie are learning to bake a cake. They have gone through the steps of gathering ingredients (Concrete Experience), watching a tutorial (Reflective Observation), and understanding the process (Abstract Conceptualization). What is the final step of their learning cycle?

• Gathering ingredients (Concrete Experience)

• Watching a tutorial (Reflective Observation)

• Understanding the process (Abstract Conceptualization)

• Baking the cake (Active Experimentation)
