Articles and critiques of David Kolb's theory
By
Tom Pickles
-
Many of us engaged in professional learning have a broad understanding of the work of David Kolb. His highly influential book entitled 'Experiential Learning: Experience as the source of learning and development' was first published in 1984 since when his ideas have had a dramatic impact on the design and development of lifelong learning models. Of course, David Kolb's work can be traced back to that famous dictum of Confucius around 450 BC:
"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand."
This article aims to help you explore the development of experiential learning from its original proposal into some of its current refinements and applications today, using the World Wide Web (the Internet) as a vast reference library. Excellent balanced approach to Kolb's work.

We explore his work and draw out some important lessons for informal educators and those concerned with the practice of lifelong learning. Bruner is relatively unknown within the field of training, and is much more closely linked to education and cognition.
