Experiential learning theory and individual learning styles

Abstract

This article describes how experience forms the basis of the learning process. The learning process takes place in a cycle with four different stages. As a result of people’s hereditary characteristics and demands of the immediate environment, they give preference to certain abilities when they have to make a decision or act in a certain situation. This results in each person developing a characteristic learning style. A short description of the characteristic abilities of each learning style is given.
