DALE'S CONE OF EXPERIMENT
EDGAR DALE CONE OF EXPERIMENT
Hey everyone, welcome to another Blog with Ransoul. Today we will be discussing Dale’s Cone of Experience. STAY TUNE 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
Queens Univerisity (n.d) states that Dale’s Cone of Experience is a model that incorporates several theories related to instructional design
and learning processes. During the 1960s, Edgar Dale theorized that learners retain more information by what they
“do” as opposed to what is “heard”, “read” or “observed”.
Source: Adapted from E. Dale, Audiovisual Methods in Teaching, 1969, NY: Dryden Press. The Cone of Experience
In his first edition of
Audiovisual Methods in Teaching (1946), Dale introduced the ‘Cone of
Experience’. The Cone placed different educational media and methods in a
continuum from the most concrete experiences at the bottom to the most abstract
at the top. (Cloke, 2017)
When a learner moves from direct
and purposeful experiences to verbal symbols, the degree of abstraction
gradually grows.
There are three categories of this experiment:
- Enactive- the is where a person will learn by doing practical stuff with their hand
- Iconic These people learned through observation)
- Symbolic ( Learn through abstraction)
Please watch the video for further information.

- How can educators use Dale's Cone of Experiment to deliver their lesson?
- What are the benefits that this model has on educators?
