The Cone of Experience

“The cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogies, it does not bear an exact and detailed
relationship to the complex elements it represents.”
Edgar Dale

In preparing to become a teacher, there are elements that should be taken into
consideration. One way of putting it is the 8Ms of teaching and each element contributes to
ensuring effective instructions.

The Eight (8) Ms of Teaching

 MILIEU : The Learning Environment

The classroom management and other school facilities are the most important, because it helps
the learners to rest and relax while thinking. It must be comfortable for them. And if you have a
better classroom decorated by the appropriate design and, of course well budgeted ventilation
and furniture. the children as well as the parents will be so happy and you, as as a teacher will be
so proud.

 MATTER: The Subject Content

The subject content must be mastered by the class. Some says "too much, too soon", it means if
you try to teach them too much just for a day, they will probably going home without absorbing
all your discussions. Instead, teach them with the right information just enough , for them to
master it. "Little matter, but well mastered" .
 METHOD: Teaching-Learning Strategies

This consist of purposeful, planned activities and tasks done by the teachers and learners in the
classroom. Do it with such unique way of planning and organizing. you must not forget to apply
values and let them work with it, for them to become a wise and good citizen someday.

 MATERIALS : The Resource of Learning

Materials are important. It must be picked wisely by the teacher because it will serve as an
example to his/ her learners. all visuals must be good and decent, it must be well prepared.
Lastly, as a teacher you must be responsible to make simple but meaningful materials for the
learners.

 MEDIA: Communication In Teaching And Learning


This pertains to the communication system in teaching- learning situation. The best example to
this is how the teacher approaches his/her students using verbal or non-verbal way of
communication. the teacher must speak well to his/her students, give them respect also, so they
will respect you in return. Saying inappropriate words or bad words will mislead the children.
You should be a role model to them and be extra careful on what you say because it might affect
them emotionally and mentally.

 MOTIVATION : Arousing And Sustaining Interest In Learning

It is a cardinal principle in learning. We knew that the learners will learn only those he wants to
learn. And if a student is not interested, he will simply " go through the motion". In order to
make them all cooperative to the lesson, you must think of a good and "catchy" motivation that
will catch their attention.

 MASTERY

This is the function of teacher direction and student self activity with teacher supervision. A
learner must not be forced to master all the lesson in the book, but to learn and retain it in their
minds. Whenever they heard a word, they can answer it even in their own words. you just have
to make them understand the lesson and lessen the difficulties.
 MEASUREMENT :Getting Evidence Of Learning

The final element of teaching- learning sequence. this is to measure the learning, retained in the
mind of the learners. And in order to measure it, they will undergo through tests which will yield
the evidence in form of test score.

With reference to the 8M’s of instruction, one element is media. Another is material. These two
M’s (media and material) are actually the elements of the Cone of Experience. Edgar Dale’s Cone of
Experience relates well with various instructional media which form part of the system’s approach
to instruction.

Being a teacher is not just a job, beyond that you are a parent and a role model to them.
You are dealing with the young immature, who are lack of experiences in life. You should
be the one to nurture them well, treat them as your own and value them as they value you.
