Dale's Cone Experience
Cone’s
dale experience is a model that incorporates several theories related to
instructional design and learning processes. Edgar Dale theorized that learners retain more information by what they “do”
as opposed to what is “heard”, “read” or “observed”. His research led to the development of the
Cone of Experience. Today, this
“learning by doing” has become known as “experiential learning” or “action
learning”. In Cone’s dale experience, students will be
able to do at each level of the Cone (the learning outcomes they will be able
to achieve) relative to the type of activity they are doing (reading, hearing,
viewing images, etc.). Dale believes that
people generally remember 10 % what they read, 20% what they hear, 30% what they
see, 50% what they hear and see-video, 70% what they say or write, and 90% what
thee say as the they do something. It means that learning will be more successful
if the learners experience what they are learned. But it doesn’t means that
reading, listening and so on is not important. Just
as Gardner describes the Multiple Intelligences and appealing to them all,
Dale’s Cone emphasizes learning experiences that appeal to the different senses
and the different ways in which we learn.
