The document describes Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience, which ranks educational methods based on their ability to promote experiential learning. At the base of the cone are direct experiences that actively involve the learner. Moving up the cone, methods become less experiential and more symbolic, including exhibits, films, pictures, and verbal symbols at the top, which provide only abstract representations of ideas. The cone illustrates that learners retain information best through hands-on experiences at the base compared to more abstract methods at the top.
