Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Experiential Learning
David A. Kolb · 2015
85/100
👍 Worth It
Kolb's experiential learning cycle is one of the most durable frameworks in educational and organizational theory, and the second edition responsibly integrates thirty years of follow-on research rather than simply reprinting the original. The learning styles component has attracted some empirical pushback in recent years, which is worth knowing, but the core structural model remains widely applied and well-validated. Essential for anyone working in education, training design, or organizational development.
