# Kolb's Reflective Model There are two sections: a four-stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles: ### Cycle of Learning - Concrete experience – having an experience or doing something; also, reinterpretation of existing experience - Reflective observation – reflecting on the experience - Abstract conceptualization – learning from the experience, learning new ideas or modifications of the experience - Active experimentation – planning based on what was learned and seeing what happens  ### Learning Styles - Diverging – look at things from different perspectives – emotional, imaginative, interested in culture and people, like to collect information, prefer to work in groups and open-minded - Assimilating – like in abstract concepts and ideas, reading, lectures and theories - Converging – like solving problems, applying theories learned in solving practical problems, and experimenting with new ideas and like technology - Accommodating – like new experiences and challenges and relies on intuition than logic.
