Kolb’s experiential learning cycle

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. Let’s talk about the topics we learned during the week of April 2^nd and 4^th.

Firstly, on April 2^nd we learned about the “Kolb’s experiential learning cycle” which has four stages:

1-Concrete experience: On this stage people learn through real life experiences or actions. 

2-Reflective observation: After having an experience, learners reflect on the experiences, for example, actions, feelings and what they learned from it.

3-Abstract conceptualization: then learners use theories, logical approaches or concepts. They try to understand practical issues or problems.

4-Active experimentation:

On the other hand, there are 4 learning dimensions: Diverging, assimilating, converging and accommodating. We also did Kolb’s test and according to my results, I’m “converging”, in simple words this is about preferring to use abstract conceptualization and active experimentation and it is related to problem-solving and practical application of ideas, often focusing on technical tasks and finding practical solutions.

On April 4^th we attended classes as usual, unfortunately, Regina couldn’t go, so we agreed to have a Zoom meeting to discuss the ideas for our presentations for next week, we also did a research to create our Canva presentation. Finally, we discussed the activities we will do during our presentation.
