Experiential learning theory is another motivational theory in addition to ARCS. This theory was developed by David A. Kolb.It states that in the learning process knowledge is created by the transformation of experience.
This theory consists of four cyclic stages of learning. They are:
Concrete experience
In this stage the learner experiences or undergoes an activity.
Observation and reflection
In this stage the learner reflects back on his experiences.
Forming abstract concepts
In this stage the learner attempts to conceptualize the theory or model of what he has observed.
Testing in new situations
In this stage the learner plans to actively experiment the theory or model in new situations.
Kolb also identified four learning styles which correspond to these stages. These styles are:
Assimilators
They learn better when presented with sound logical theories to consider.
Convergers
They learn better when provided with practical applications of concepts and theories.
Accommodators
They learn better when provided with “hands-on” experiences.
Divergers
They learn better when allowed to observe and collect a wide range of information.
So which type of learner are you?
