What is Dale’s Cone of experience?

The cone of experience was primarily introduced by Edgar Dale in 1946.

This model include several theories which related to instructional design and learning processes.

The Cone of Experience shows the progression of the learning experiences from concrete to abstract level.

His research led to the development of the Cone of Experience

Today, this “learning by doing” has become known as “experiential learning” or “action learning”.
