| - | Experiential learning is a **cycle learning theory** developed by [[http://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/3114/David-Kolb.html|David Kolb]] in 1980s and was inspired by earlier works of [[http://www.muskingum.edu/~psych/psycweb/history/lewin.htm|Kurt Lewin]]. As it was developed within [[learning_paradigms:humanism|humanist paradigm]], experiential learning offers a **holistic perspective on learning** and is orientated mostly on adult learning. | + | Experiential learning is a **cycle learning theory** developed((Some sources like [[http://www.lifecircles-inc.com/Learningtheories/learningmap.html|Cooper, S.

Name of this theory was intended to should emphasize the importance of experience in the learning process. |

| Kolb's theory has influenced other authors to create similar models for determining of preferred learning style. The critique that Kolb's learning styles inventory was difficult to apply to people who never really paid attention to how they learn more efficiently encouraged Peter Honey and Alan Mumford to create their //learning styles questionnaire// (LSQ). It was based on Kolb's theory, but instead of asking people how they learn it was probing for most common learning behaviors. | Kolb's theory has influenced other authors to create similar models for determining of preferred learning style.

| + | * doubts that not everyone's learning process has to undergo Kolb's stages and **not necessarily in that order**, | ||
| + | * **lack of experimental research** and too simplified learning cycle which ignores non-experiential learning, and | ||
| + | * not paying enough attention to the process of **reflection** and **lack of precision**. | ||
