Kolb’s experiential learning cycleYou have identified Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. The description of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is ok although lacks a little detail. You should give an example of how learning could be developed with the use of the learning cycle, and possibly consider how you can ensure that you go through each of the four stages in practice.

Kolb’s experiential learning cycleYou have identified Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. The description of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is ok although lacks a little detail. You should give an example of how learning could be developed with the use of the learning cycle, and possibly consider how you can ensure that you go through each of the four stages in practice. For example, what can you do when you are on placement to ensure that you carry out reflection on experiences?In addition, you should not use websites as sources of literature to refer to. You should be able to find the information you need from academic textbooks and peer reviewed journals.GRADING CRITERIAPresentation and Structure–20%Content, Knowledge and understanding–30%Breath/Depth and integration of literature–20%, Discussion and or reflection–15%References–15%Reference ListUtility of learning styles easily and uncritically embraced (Riener &Willingham, 2010).• debate about the reliability of these models (Rayner, 2011).• “Conceptual confusion, contested definitions, poor measurementand lack of validity” (Peterson, Rayner & Armstrong, 2009, p518).• Surprising little evidence but surprisingly lot of literature!• Google – 47 million hits; ERIC – 19K hits, CINAHL Plus 2000 hits• Published research frequently poor quality (Rohrer & Pashler, 2012).• eg., small sample sizes; specialist learners; lack of control group• Debate about whether matching learning styles with teaching stylesenhances learning (Reid, 2005).• Culture also plays a role in learning (Lemke-Westcott & Johnson2013)Anderson, I.
