David Kolb

David Kolb is an American educator and psychologist best known for his work in experiential learning. He developed the Kolb's Learning Cycle, which outlines how people learn through experience in four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. This model emphasizes that effective learning involves experiencing something, reflecting on it, forming concepts, and then applying those concepts in new situations. Kolb's ideas have influenced education, training, and personal development, highlighting the importance of hands-on experiences in fostering deep understanding and skill acquisition.
