Kolb's Experiential Learning Model is a framework that emphasizes learning through experience. It consists of four stages: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. Learners engage in a cycle where they first experience an event, reflect on it, form concepts, and then apply what they've learned in new situations.
This model highlights the importance of active participation in the learning process. By moving through these stages, individuals can deepen their understanding and improve their skills. It is widely used in education and professional development to enhance learning outcomes and foster critical thinking.
