Question

Which of the following statements about the harmonization learning style of Kolb's model is correct?

I. It relies on intuition rather than logic.

II. Learners use the analysis of others and prefer to adopt practical, experimental approaches.

III. Learners like to work in groups to complete tasks.

1. II and III
2. I and III
3. I and II
4. I, II and III

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : I, II and III

Experimental learning has been a very influential idea in recent years. It is argued by Kolb (1984) that mature adults have much to offer to the educational process from their life experiences.

Kolb (1984) listed the essential characteristics of experiential learning which are applicable to constructivist theory. These characteristics are:

• Learning is a continuous process grounded in experience.
• Learning is a holistic process of adaptation to the world. 
• Learning involves transactions between the person and the environment.
• Learning is the process of creating knowledge.
• The process of learning requires the resolution of conflicts between diametrically opposed modes of adaptation to the world. 

 

This is different from pedagogy, in which the teacher instructs the students but does not take experiential learning into account in any way.

• It relies on intuition rather than logic.
• Learners use the analysis of others and prefer to adopt practical, experimental approaches.
• Learners like to work in groups to complete tasks.

Hence, we conclude that all the given statements about Kolb's model is correct.
