Abstract (AI)
Kolb's experiential learning theory is one of the best known educational theories in higher education. The theory presents a way of structuring a session or a whole course using a learning cycle. The different stages of the cycle are associated with distinct learning styles. Individuals differ in their preferred learning styles, and recognizing this is the first stage in raising students' awareness of the alternative approaches possible. This article presents some case studies of ways in which the theory can be applied in university geography.
Key Findings
1
Kolb’s experiential learning theory provides a structured learning cycle for designing individual university sessions or entire courses.
2
Recognizing students’ preferred learning styles is presented as an initial step toward increasing awareness of alternative learning approaches.
3
The article illustrates applications of experiential learning theory in higher-education geography through case studies.
4
The theory associates different stages of the learning cycle with distinct learning styles, reflecting variation in students’ preferred approaches.
