Kolb’s 4-Stage

Experiential Learning Model

The core of Kolb's four-stage

model is a simple description of

the learning cycle which shows

how experience is translated

through reflection into concepts,

which in turn are used as guides

for active experimentation and the

choice of new experiences.

The Four Stage Cycle

The cycle may be entered at any point, but the stages should be followed in sequence. The learning cycle thus provides feedback, which is the basis for new action and evaluation of the consequences of that action. Learners should go through the cycle several times, so it may best be thought of as a spiral of cycles. In brief Kolb conceptualizes the process of action research as "a spiral of action and research consisting of four major moments: plan, act, observe and reflect “

Concrete Experience (CE)

Build models of NCLB schools and modify in order to express the architectural translation of TLE

principles.

Reflective Observation (RO)

Analyze and determine which modified solutions reflect the TLE principles most important to the

individual student.

Abstract Conceptualization (AC)

Lecture on the architectural translation of the governing

principles of TLE vs. NCLB

Active Experimentation (AE)

Analyze NCLB schools. Discover how the governing principles are

reflected in the architecture.

Respond to your findings in analysis by modifying your digital

model to respond to the topography, aspect, access

points, etc.


Synthesize the data. Ask yourself how the findings relate this specific project and to your conceptual approach to the

project.


Lecture : Analysis vs. Synthesis and the Elements of Site


As a group, document and analyze the site at 4 scales:

region, city, district, site

Model 3 of the options on the sloped site.


Ask yourself how TLE principles change the programming of the

school. Ask yourself how the site slope changes the building.

Lecture : Programming


Diagram many potential options for organizing programming based on your TLE attitudes.

…AND SO ON AND SO FORTH…

TLE PRINCIPLES IN ARCH 5140 - KAMAS:

• No Predictable Project Solution • Focus On Discovery And Process - Iterative “Spiral” Design Process • Focus On Critical Thinking – Why? How? Who? • Success And Failure • Self-responsibility And Self-motivation • Responsibility To Your Classmates • Physical Exploration • Use Of Multiple Types Of Intelligence:

• Spatial – spatial judgement (plans, sections, modeling) the ability to visualize • Linguistic - verbal presentation, graphic presentation, critique (self and

classmates) • Logical-mathematical – analysis and synthesis • Bodily-kinesthetic – understanding your body in space and physical model

making/drawing • Interpersonal – group (large and small) critique, desk crits.

Developing the ability to understand others. • Intrapersonal - Developing self-reflective capacities • Naturalistic – nurturing and relating information to one’s natural surroundings
