    The Cone of Experience

    Uploaded by

    Jocelyn Mirasol
    The Cone of Experience is a model that arranges different types of educational experiences from most concrete to most abstract. It includes 10 bands ranging from direct experiences to verbal symbols. The model emphasizes that a balance of concrete and abstract experiences is most effective for learning. No single type of experience is inherently better, and mixing experiences helps learners conceptualize in meaningful ways. Educators should provide foundations in concrete experiences but not limit learning there, aiming to develop higher-order thinking through more abstract levels.

    Lesson 5- Educational Technology

    THE CONE OF EXPERIENCE

    EDGAR DALE

    The

    Cone of Experience is a visual model, a pictorial device that presents bands of experience arranged according to degree of abstraction and not degree of difficulty. individual bands stand for experiences that are fluid, extensive, and continually interact.

    The

    One

    kind of sensory experience is not necessarily more educationally useful than another. Sensory experiences are mixed and interrelated.
    much reliance on concrete experience may actually obstruct the process of meaningful generalization. The best will be striking a balance between concrete and abstract, direct participation and symbolic expression for the learning that will continue throughout life.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?


    1.

    DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES


    - these are first hand experiences which serve as the foundation of our learning. We build up our reservoir of meaningful information and ideas through seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. It is learning by doing.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?


    2.

    CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES
    - In here, we make use of a representative models or mock ups of reality for practical reasons and so that we can make the real- life accessible to the students perceptions and understandings.

    3.

    DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES
    - By dramatization, we can participate in a reconstructed experience, even though the original event is far removed from us in time. We relive the outbreak of the Philippine revolution by acting out the role of characters in a drama.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?


    DEMONSTRATIONS - It is a visualized explanation of an important fact, idea or process by the use of photographs, drawings, films, display, or guided motions. It is showing how things are done.

    5.

    STUDY TRIPS - These are excursions and visits conducted to observe an event that is unavailable within the classroom.

    6.

    EXHIBITS - These are displays to be seen by spectators. They may consist of working models arranged meaningfully or photographs with models, charts, and posters.

    7.

    TELEVISION AND MOTION PICTURES

    - Television and motion pictures can reconstruct the reality of the past so effectively that we are made to feel we are there.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?


    8.

    STILL PICTURES, RECORDINGS, RADIO


    - These are visual and auditory devices may be used by an individual or a group. Still pictures lack the sound and motion of a sound film. The radio broadcast of an actual event may often be likened to a televised broadcast minus its visual dimensions.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?

    9.

    VISUAL SYMBOLS - These are no longer realistic reproduction of physical things for these are highly abstract representations. Examples are charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams.

    WHAT ARE THE BANDS OF EXPERIENCE?


    10.

    VERBAL SYMBOLS
    - They are not like objects or ideas for which they stand. They usually do not contain visual clues to their meaning. Written words fall under this category. It may be a word for a concrete object, an idea, a scientific principle, a formula.

    a.

    We do not use only one medium of communication in isolation. Rather we use many instructional materials to help the student conceptualize his experience.

    b.

    We avoid teaching directly at the symbolic level of thought without adequate foundation of the concrete. Students concepts will lack deep roots in direct experience.

    c.

    When teaching, we dont get stuck in the concrete. Let us strive to bring our students to the symbolic or abstract level to develop their higher order thinking skills.

    The cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogies, it does not bear an exact and detailed relationship to the complex elements it represents. - Edgar Dale
