Cone of Experience
A visual model that shows a continuum of learning; a pictorial device that presents bands of experience
The pattern of arrangement of the bands experience is not difficulty but degree of abstraction- the amount of immediate sensory participation that is involved
In our teaching, we do not always begin with direct experience at the base of the Cone. Rather, we begin with the kind of experience that is most appropriate to the needs and abilities of particular learning situation
