  1. David Kolb The Experiential Learning Theory

  2. The Theorist: David Kolb • An American educational theorist born in 1939 • Kolb earned his BA from Knox College in 1961 and his MA and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1964 and 1967 respectively, in social psychology • He is mainly credited for his experiential learning model (ELM) and his learning style inventory (LSI)

  3. Experiential Learning Model • Four stages • Concrete Experience • Reflective Observation • Abstract Conceptualization • Active Experimentation

  4. Learning Style Inventory • Uses the ELT “stages” as “styles” • Combines one’s top two styles to create 4 unique styles: • Diverging (CE/RO) • Assimilating (AC/RO) • Converging (AC/AE) • Accommodating (CE/AE)

  5. Let’s Try it! • Although one can start with any of the 4 stages, the experiential learning cycle usually starts with an experience • On the next slide we will start an experiment that will serve as the Concrete Experience • After the experiment is over we will apply it to the other 3 stages of Kolb’s ELT

  6. The Rising Water Experiment • Purpose: To observe what happens when one lights a candle that is sitting in about one centimeter of water and extinguishes it with a test tube • Materials: Petri dish, candle, matches, colored water, test tube

  7. The Rising Water Experiment, cont. • Directions • Light the candle and drip a few drops of wax in the center of the Petri dish • Quickly stand the candle up on the hot wax and release • Pour about one centimeter of water into the dish • Extinguish the candle with the test tube (be sure to quickly lower the tube over the candle and set it on the base of the dish all in one motion) • Write down as many observations as you can

  8. The Rising Water Experiment Video • The video will illustrate how technology can be used to increase our powers of observation • During the video, take careful note to see if you observe anything different from when you performed the experiment yourself…

  9. ELT and the Rising Water Experiment • Now, let’s apply Kolb’s ELT to our experiment: • Concrete Experience • Reflective Observation • Abstract Conceptualization • Active Experimentation

  10. How was your experience? • Questions? • Comments?
