This lesson will introduce Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience to acquaint us with various instructional media which form part of the system’s approach to instruction, as well as Jerome Bruner’s Three-Tiered Model of Learning.
The
CONE of EXPERIENCE is a visual model by Edgar Dale, a pictorial device that
presents bands of experience arranged according to degree of abstraction and
not the degree of difficulty.
The Cone of Experience should not be taken literally. The learning experiences must not be isolated from one another and it does not mean that learning should always start from the bottom to top. These experiences can be interrelated with one another, thus creating concrete and abstract experience. We must also practice not to always rely on one medium only. The Cone of Experience reminds us to make use of a combination of as many learning resources as we can thus making sure to have adequate foundation of concrete experience before moving into abstract.

ReplyDeleteWith respect to the author... If we parallel Dale's 11 Elements into Bruner's Three-tiered model, Demonstration, Study Trips & Exhibits are under Enactive because:
ReplyDelete1) They are all learner's first hand experiences.
2) They comply with the factor of contrived experiences (Enactive) which is using all five senses to acquire this knowledge from direct interaction.
