Kolb’s Learning Cycle Every individual wants to grow, but growing should be supported with learning. Individual can learn either by experience of others, or by applying the theoretical knowledge to what is experienced, or by observation of certain things or by actually doing. In our life, every day we learn small to bigger things through our experiences. Kolb’s argued the same learning cycle based on experiences of the individual. Kolb’s suggested that the learning takes place in 4 stages, with a certain pattern of cycle. The 4 stages of learning given by David Kolb are; 1) Concrete Experimentation [CE]: Learning the things by means of some new experiences or reinterpretation of somethings, which were learned in past. Such experiences will develop Concrete Experience. 2) Reflective Observation [RO]: Once the experience is earned, one will start analyzing it. What we learned, how things happened and will start reviewing and recording their own experiences
