Abstract

John Dewey’s concept of learning by doing served as the foundation for Kolb and Rogers’s experiential learning strategies, as opposed to cognitive learning focuses on academic knowledge. Rogers (1969) highlighted the significance of experiential learning, which is about applying knowledge. According to Rogers, experiential learning relates to personal change and progress and completes the needs and desires of the individual. The four steps for steps of Kolb’s four-stage cyclic process are Concrete Experience, Reflection, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. Kolb presented this model in 1984. He connected learning styles with experiential learning as well. He highlighted how each person has a unique personality and how learning preferences might lead to a propensity towards an uncertain stage.

Keywords: Experiential learning, Kolb’s experiential learning model.
