The document discusses Dale's Cone of Experience, which is a model that arranges various types of sensory experiences from concrete to abstract. At the base of the cone are direct sensory experiences like contrived demonstrations. Moving up the cone, experiences become more abstract through still pictures, recorded audio and video, and symbolic representations at the top. The cone emphasizes that learning is most effective when it moves from the concrete to the abstract, using a variety of experience types rather than any single medium in isolation. Teachers should avoid starting at the symbolic level without ensuring students have a strong foundation of more hands-on, concrete experiences.
