Concrete experience

Concrete experience as it related to adult learning is looking at things as they are, in their true form. Those who use concrete experiences learn from specific experiences and relate to people. Adult learners bring many concrete learning experiences to the classroom (online or face-to-face). It is with these experiences that they can connect new ideas and concepts to past learning. This proves to increase engagement and active participation in the classroom. They are also sensitive to others' feelings.
