Active experimentation takes what has been learned and tries it out – proving that it works. It is the ability to get things done by influencing people and events through action and generally includes risk-taking. Active experimentation is much like self-directed learning in that learning takes place by doing something, with something, then adapting it as necessary to meet their needs.
In Kolb's learning styles model, active experimentation is on the far left side of the processing continuum. The other end of the continuum is reflective observation. Rating oneself closer to the left of this continuum means that you want to take an active role in your learning. You appreciate the hands-on approach and look for ways to get involved.
