Using a combination of various methods that uses collaboration, cooperation, and the experiential learning theory will allow the student to take on a more active role of their learning environment and will result in a higher level of thinking to increase knowledge of material.
So interesting! Collaborative, cooperative and experiential learning theory = have the student active and responsible for his learning level – knowledge or skill, “I heard about it or I can do it”!
That was a good comparrison of collaborative and cooperative learning. Experimental learning is an interesting concept that makes sense in the classroom setting especially as content is linked to real life experiences and opportunites.
This section focuses on the 4 different learning techniques. I can see how all of these methods would increase student attainment. Using a variety of techniques allows many different opportunities for students.
I like the idea of collaboration learning, involving the students in being the mentor, I find that students want to help each other learn the topics, so I want to add more of this in the classroom
Learning style describes the unique ways that individuals move through the learning cycle based on their preference for the four different learning modes—concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
In this section, I learned that Kolb's experiential learning theory is based on 4 learning preferences (concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation) in which the student learner uses to "spiral through" learning. I believe I can incorporate this concept in my classroom by using journaling, hands on skills practice, and simulation.
Kolb's experiential learning model- it takes into account 4 abilities which takes into consideration the others and ways to incorpoate into class will include active participation such as performing new skills in lab.
