    The Cone of Experience by Edgar Dale

    Mark Laurence Valdez
    The Cone of Experience by Edgar Dale outlines a model for classifying educational tools based on their ability to recreate real-life experiences. At the base of the cone are direct experiences, followed by contrived experiences, dramatized experiences, demonstrations, exhibits, study trips, visual symbols, recordings and pictures, and verbal symbols at the top as the most abstract. The model considers how many senses each tool engages and its proximity to reality, with more sensory engagement and reality leading to better learning outcomes.

    The Cone of Experience by Edgar Dale

    What is Dale's Cone of Experience?


     The Cone of Experience is a pictorial device used to explain
    interrelationships of the various types of audio-visual media, as well as their
    individual "positions" in the learning process.
     The cone's utility is selecting instructional anj activities is a practical
    today as when Dale created it.

    Principles of the Cone of Experience


     The cone is based on the relationship of various educational
    experiences to reality (real life), and the bottom level of the cone, "direct-
    purposeful experiences", represents reality or the closest thing to real in
    everyday life.
     The opportunity for a learner to use a variety or several senses (sight,
    smell, hearing, touching, movement) is considered in the cone.
     Direct experiences allow us to use all senses.
     The more sensory channels possible in interacting with a resource, the
    better the chance that many students can learn from it.
    1. Verbal Symbols
    o Principal medium of communication.
    o Bear no physical resemblance to the object or ideas for which
    they stand.
    o May be a word for concretion, idea, scientific principle, formula
    or philosophic aphorism.
    o Disadvantage: highly abstract.

    2. Visual Symbols
    o Fits the tempo pf presentation of ideas, topic or situation.
    o very easy to procure and prepare.
    o Limitations: lack of ability to use  the media size of visuals
    simplification leads to misconceptions.
    3. Recordings, Radio, Still Pictures
    o Attention-getting, particularly projected views.
    o Concertized verbal abstract
    o Limitations: size of pictures or illustrations expensiveness of
    projected materials and equipment timing difficulties between radio
    shows and classroom lessons.

    4. Television and Motion Pictures


    o can reconstruct the reality of the past that we are made to feel
    that we are there.
    5. Exhibits
    o these are displays to be seen by spectators. they may consists of
    working models arranged meaningfully or photographs with models,
    charts, and posters.

    6. Study Trips
    o these are excursions, educational trips and visits conducted to
    observed an event that is unavailable within the classroom.

    7. Demonstrations
    o it is a visualized explanation of an important fact, idea or process
    by the use of graphs, drawings, films, displays, or guided motions.

    8. Dramatized Experience
    o through dramatization we can participate in reconstructed
    experience through the original event is far removed from us in time.

    9. Contrived Experience
    o we make use of representative models mock-ups of reality for
    practical reasons.
    10. Direct-Purposeful Experience
    o it is the first hand experience which serves as the foundation of
    our learning.
