Dale Coneof Experience

Edgar Dale developed the Cone of Experience, also known as the Learning Pyramid, which is a model that ranks educational resources based on how abstract or concrete the learning experience is. Resources lower in the cone involve more senses and are more concrete, like direct experiences, while resources higher in the cone are more abstract, like verbal symbols. The model suggests that involving more senses leads to better learning outcomes. Teachers can use the Cone of Experience to select resources and activities that enhance learning by choosing those lower in the cone that are closer to real-life experiences.

Experience
Edgar Dale
(April 27, 1900 in Benson, Minnesota, – March 8, 1985 in
Columbus, Ohio)
• He was an American educator who developed the Cone
of Experience, also known as the Learning Pyramid.
• He made several contributions to audio and visual
instruction, including a methodology for analyzing the
content of motion pictures.
Dale’s Cone of Experience
• It is a visual model that is composed of eleven (11) stages starting
from concrete experiences at the bottom of the cone then it becomes
more and more abstract as it reach the peak of the cone.

• The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the
better the learning will be but it does not mean that concrete
experience is the only effective experience that educators should
use in transferring knowledge to the learner.
