8. Premesse, obiettivi e metodi
• How will be achieved?
In grasping experience some of us perceive new information
through experiencing the concrete, tangible, felt qualities of the
world, relying on our senses and immersing ourselves in concrete
reality.
Others tend to perceive, grasp, or take hold of new information
through symbolic representation or abstract conceptualization –
thinking about, analyzing, or systematically planning, rather than
using sensation as a guide.
Similarly, in transforming or processing experience some of us tend
to carefully watch others who are involved in the experience and
reflect on what happens, while others choose to jump right in and
start doing things. The watchers favor reflective observation, while
the doers favor active experimentation.

9. Premesse, obiettivi e metodi
• How will be achieved?
Each dimension of the learning process presents us with a
choice. Since it is virtually impossible, for example, to
simultaneously
• drive a car (Concrete Experience) and
• analyze a driver’s manual about the car’s functioning
(Abstract Conceptualization), we resolve the conflict by
choosing.
Because of our hereditary equipment, our particular past life
experiences, and the demands of our present environment,
we develop a preferred way of choosing.
We resolve the conflict between concrete or abstract and
between active or reflective in some patterned, characteristic
ways.
We call these patterned ways “learning styles.”
