Edgar Dale’s

Cone of
Experience
By: LLOYD PSYCHE T. BALTAZAR
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.

Cone of Experience
▪ In 1946, Dale introduced the Cone of Experience concept in a
textbook on audiovisual methods in teaching. He revised it for a
second printing in 1954 and again in 1969.

▪ Dale's "Cone of Experience," often referred to as the "Cone of


Learning," purports to inform viewers of how much people
remember based on how they encounter information.

Things to avoid about the use of the Cone of
Experience:

✓ using one medium in isolation

✓ moving to the abstract without an adequate foundation


of concrete experience

✓ getting stuck in the concrete without moving to the


abstract hampering the development of our students’
higher thinking skills
Bruner’s 3 Tiered Model

✓ it points out that every area of knowledge can


be presented and learned in three distinct steps.

✓ a learner proceed from ENACTIVE to ICONIC


and lastly to SYMBOLIC.
