Kolb's Learning Cycle Diagram

This visual illustrates David A. Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle, a four-stage process that shows how individuals learn from experience. It begins with "Concrete Experience," where an individual engages in an activity. This is followed by "Reflective Observation," prompting a review and contemplation of the experience. Next, "Abstract Conceptualization" involves forming conclusions and understanding principles from what was observed. Finally, "Active Experimentation" encourages applying new knowledge through planning and trying out what has been learned, leading back to a new concrete experience. This continuous cycle highlights how practical experience transforms into knowledge and new skills.
