Kolb's Learning Styles

Kolb's Learning Styles

Kolb's learning styles are based on two dimensions, perception and processing.

Concrete experience and abstract conceptualization are on the perception dimension while active experimentation and reflective observation are on the processing dimension. Where these intersect, learning styles are created. They are: accomodators, divergers, convergers, and assimilators. 

It is best to understand Kolb's model of learning styles to effectively create learning opportunities for adults and children alike. Keep in mind that while this model works for children, adults are more likely to fall into a definite learning style based on how they rate themselves on each dimension.
