ABSTRACT
Kolb defines learning styles as one’s preferred methods for perceiving and processing information. This definition evolved through his four-stage experiential learning cycle, from which he identified four adaptive learning modes: concrete experience (CE), reflective observation (RO), abstract conceptualization (AC), and active experimentation (AE). Concrete experience and AC position themselves at the extreme ends of one continuum that represents how one prefers to perceive the environment or grasp experiences in the world. The second continuum, comprised of RO and AE, represents how one prefers to process or transform incoming information.
