    1. The Cone of Experience was developed by Edgar Dale in 1960 to explain the relationships between different types of media and their role in learning. 2. It places media on a cone based on their level of abstraction from real-world experiences, with the most concrete experiences like field trips at the bottom and most abstract experiences like verbal symbols at the top. 3. The cone suggests that learning is most effective when it incorporates multiple senses and allows students to have hands-on experiences that are closer to real life.

    The Cone of Experience


    The cone of experience is a pictorial device use to explain the interrelationships of the various types of audio-visual media, as well as their individual positions in the learning process. The cone's utility in selecting instructional resources and activities is as practical today as when Dale created it.

    Background
    Years ago an educator named Edgar Dale (Educational Media, 1960), often cited as the father of modern media in education, developed from his experience in teaching and his observations of learners the "cone of experience. The cone's utility in selecting instructional resources and activities is as practical today as when Dale created it.

    Developed By: Edgar Dale (1960)

    Edgar Dale is often cited as the father of modern

    media in education Basis: his experience in teaching and his observations of learners :

    Interpreting the Cone


    The cone is based on the relationships of

    various educational experiences to reality (real life). The bottom level of the cone, "direct purposeful experiences," represents reality or the closest things to real, everyday life.

    1. Direct Purposeful Experiences ( ): The bottom level of the cone, represents reality or the closest things to real, everyday life. / These experiences have least abstractness and

    Interpreting the Cone ( ):

    maximum concreteness. A learner himself experiences these by coming into contact with the actual happenings in a real life situation.

    Interpreting the Cone ( ):


    1. Direct

    Purposeful

    Experiences

    ): There is opportunity for the learner to use a variety or several senses (sight, smell, hearing, touching, movement).

    ,, ,

    Each level of the cone above its base moves a learner a

    step further away from real- life experiences.


    / ,

    experiences: ( ): These experiences are not very rich, concrete and direct as real life direct experience. ,
    2. Contrived These may be provided with the help of some laboratory

    experiments or working model.

    ( ): The experiences gained by students through their active participation and role playing in dramatic activities.
    3. Dramatic Participation:

    4. Demonstration: (): The experiences gained by the students through the

    observation of what is being demonstrated by the teacher ,

    5. Field trips: (-): These arranged situation

    in the form of educational tours, trips, excursions and outings may provide valuable opportunities to students for giving real life direct experiences. , , 6. Exhibition: (): experience through the observation and organization of educationally significant exhibitions.

    7. Motion Pictures: ( ): It (television) is

    an observational experience with little or no opportunity to participate or use senses other than seeing and hearing. ( )

    Recordings: ( ): provide auditory experience to learners through certain arranged talks and discussion.
    8. Audio

    9. Visual Symbols: ( ): provide more real and concrete

    experience than the verbalism or verbal symbols presentation.

    10. Verbal Symbols: ( ): These are marked as the most

    abstract learning experiences. (spoken words are more abstract than the written words). ( ) ?

    :
    When Dale formulated the cone of experience,

    computers were not a part of educational or home settings, so they aren't part of the original cone. ,

    More Interpretation
    The opportunity for a learner to use a variety

    or several senses (sight, smell, hearing, touching, movement) is considered in the cone. Direct experience allows us to use all senses. As you move up the cone, fewer senses are involved at each level.

    The more sensory channels possible in

    interacting with a resource, the better the chance that many students can learn from it.
    Each level of the cone above its base moves a

    learner a step further away from real- life experiences, so experiences focusing only on the use of verbal symbols are the furthest removed from real life.

    NOTE THAT:

    When Dale formulated the cone of

    experience, computers were not a part of educational or home settings, so they aren't part of the original cone.
