The Learning Cycle

The Learning Cycle is a process that outlines how we acquire and apply knowledge effectively. It typically involves four stages: 1. **Concrete Experience**: Engaging in a new activity or experience. 2. **Reflective Observation**: Thinking about what happened and reflecting on the experience. 3. **Abstract Conceptualization**: Forming ideas or theories based on your reflections. 4. **Active Experimentation**: Applying these ideas in real-world situations to test their validity. This cycle helps individuals deepen their understanding and improve future learning through ongoing reflection and application. It emphasizes that learning is an iterative process, rather than a one-time event.
