The Cone of Experience

1. “The cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogy, it does not bear
an exact and detailed relationship to the complex elements its
represents.” – Edgar Dale

2.  These are first hand experiences which are the
foundation of our learning. In the context of teaching-
learning process, it is learning by doing.

3.  In here, we make use of a representative models or
mock ups of reality for practical reasons and so that we
can make the real-life accessible to the students’
perception.

4.  We can participate in a reconstructed experience, even
though the original event if far removed from us in
time.

5.  It is visualized explanation of an important fact, idea
or process by the use of photographs, drawings, films,
displays, or guided motions.

6.  These are excursions, educational trips and visits
conducted to observe an event that is unavailable
within the classroom.

7.  These are displays to be seen by spectators.
Sometimes, exhibits are “for your eyes only”

8.  In here, we can reconstruct the reality of the past so
effectively that we are made to feel we are there.

9.  These are visual and auditory devices which may be
used by an individual or a group. Still pictures lack the
sound and motion of a sound film.

10.  These are no longer realistic reproduction of physical
things for these are highly abstract representations.

11.  They are not like the objects or ideas for which they
stand. They usually do not contain visual clues to their
meaning.
