Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) provides a holistic model of the learning process and adult development. ELT is a cyclical theory involving four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Kolb identified four learning styles - diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating - that are heightened under ELT. For students, ELT allows independent learning through activities like online classes, simulations, and virtual fieldwork. Teachers can facilitate experiential learning through group work, hands-on projects, and reflecting on experiences.
