(AE) testing in new situations.
patterns.- Calculating sum of numbers.
31. According to Kolb, learning becomes meaningful only when—
A. Students memorize facts
B. Students complete all 4 stages of the learning cycle
C. Teachers give continuous instructions
D. Students follow strict rules
Answer: B. Students complete all 4 stages of the learning cycle
Explanation: David Kolb's model posits that truly meaningful and deep learning is
an iterative process that must move through all four stages of the cycle: Concrete
Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active
Experimentation
32. Experiential Learning is primarily based on which principle?
A. Learning through memorization
B. Learning by doing
C. Learning through competition
D. Learning by observation only
Answer: B. Learning by doing
Explanation: Experiential Learning is fundamentally a philosophy and methodology
that prioritizes direct experience. Its core principle is "Learning by doing," where
knowledge is created through the transformation of experience
33. A science teacher asks students to perform a real-life experiment by mixing
vinegar and baking soda. Students watch the reaction carefully and participate
hands-on. According to Kolb, which stage does this represent?
A. Abstract Conceptualization
B. Reflective Observation
C. Concrete Experience
D. Active Experimentation
Answer: C. Concrete Experience
Explanation: The Concrete Experience stage is the first step in Kolb's cycle,
representing the immediate, hands-on engagement with a new experience.
Students performing the experiment and directly watching the reaction are
examples of having a concrete experience.
34. Who developed the Experiential Learning Model consisting of four
components?
A. Piaget
B. David Kolb
C. Jerome Bruner
D. Robert Gagné
Answer: B. David Kolb
Explanation: The Experiential Learning Model, which consists of the four-stage
cycle, was developed by educational theorist David Kolb
35. Which of the following is not one of Kolb’s four experiential learning stages?
A. Concrete Experience
B. Reflective Observation
C. Active Experimentation
D. Reinforcement
Answer: D. Reinforcement
Explanation: The four official stages of Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle are
Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and
Active Experimentation. Reinforcement is a term associated with behaviorist
learning theories, not Kolb's model
