Kolb's Learning Theory

Kolb's Learning Theory suggests that people learn best through a cycle of four stages: experiencing something firsthand, reflecting on that experience, thinking about what it means, and then experimenting by trying out what they've learned. This cycle helps individuals develop new skills and understandings by actively engaging with tasks and reflecting on them. Everyone prefers to learn at different points in this cycle—some gain knowledge through doing, others through reflection or conceptualization—highlighting the importance of varied learning methods for effective education.
