Today I would like to continue the discussion about Cone Dale of Experience. Last post, I talked about how learning could be more effective if we used more series of senses.
However, another point of cone is that there are abstraction degrees in the cone. What does it mean?
Well, if we take from the bottom to the top, the way we learn is in abstraction pattern, that is from the concrete to the abstract. If learner learn in the bottom one level, they learn in concrete way, in direct way. They directly experience the thing they learn, do a real thing in order to learn, such as doing a presentation, do a simulation, etc. In other side, if the learners learn from the top level, they learn in abstract way or indirect way, such read, hear, and see. They only learn from the verbal symbols such as words, audio, and visual, they do not do a real thing in this case.
However, it does not mean that learn in the bottom level is quite effective than the top. It depends on who the learners are, and what level they are. Young learners will effectively learn in direct way, because it is hard for ages of them to learn in such an abstract way. That's why Dale said that they will only get 10 % from the information. However, for advance learners, they have been able to learn in abstract way, such as only read or hear. However, the best way to acquire more information is by combining both concrete and abstract way.
