Kolb's Experiential Learning

Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory suggests that people learn best through a cycle of hands-on experience, reflection, understanding, and applying new insights. It involves four stages: active doing (concrete experience), reflecting on that experience, thinking about what it means (conceptualization), and trying out new ideas or behaviors (experimenting). Learning happens when individuals move through these stages, gaining understanding from real experiences and applying lessons to future situations. This approach emphasizes that knowledge is created through active participation and continuous reflection, making learning more meaningful and adaptable to different contexts.
