Dale's Cone of Experience

Dale's Cone of Experience is a model that illustrates how people learn and remember information better through different types of experiences. It shows that we tend to retain more when we actively engage with the material, such as through hands-on activities or real-life experiences, rather than just passively listening or reading. The cone is shaped like an inverted cone, with the most effective, hands-on learning approaches at the wider part at the bottom, and the least effective, passive methods at the narrower top. It emphasizes the importance of experiential learning for deeper understanding and retention.
