David Kolb is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at Case Western Reserve University who popularized experiential learning as the most efficient method for mastering new concepts. In short, he describes the process of transforming learning into knowledge.
What is Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model?
根据科尔布, “Knowledge results from the combination of grasping experience and transforming it.” In his model, there are four distinct segments to learning:
- 具体经验描述
- 反射
- Generalizations/Principles/Theories

- 小标题3: Discuss major nutritional guidelines to decrease heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.
- 小标题4: Analyze modifications from national recommended guidelines you have made in your diet and the rationale for those modifications.
- 小标题5: Explore challenges US citizens encounter in attaining sound nutrition.
