The Learning Flexibility Index: Assessing Contextual Flexibility in Learning Style
2012
Experiential learning theory (ELT; Kolb, 1984) draws on the work of
prominent 20th-century scholars who gave experience a central role in
their theories of human learning and development to develop a dynamic,
holistic model of the process of learning from experience and a multilinear
model of adult development. ELT is a dynamic view of learning based on
a cycle of learning with four learning modes-Concrete Experience (CE),
Refl ective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active
Experimentation (AE). It is a holistic theory that defi nes learning as the
major process of human adaptation involving the whole person. As such,
ELT is applicable not only in the formal education classroom but in all
areas of life. For forty years, research based on ELT has been conducted all
around the world supporting the applicability of the model in different cultures, educational specializations, and life contexts. The 2009 Experiential
Learning Theory Bibliographies (Kolb & Kolb, 2009a, 2009b) include over
3,000 research studies.
