1. Understand the concept of Cone of Experience constructed by Edgar

Dale
2. Discuss the different level of Cone of Experience based on the process
of Constructivism and their prior knowledge in each level.
3. Realize the value of using this Cone of Experience in making a
conducive and its implication in the teaching-learning process

Activity

Study the Cone of Experience given below. Analyze How

the Elements are arranged from the bottom upward or from the
top down.

Analysis (Questions for Discussion)

1. What are the learning aids found in the Cone of Experience?

2. Is the basis of the arrangement of experiences difficulty of experience or

degree of abstraction?

3. Does the Cone of Experience must move systematically from base to

pinnacle?

4. Are the upper levels of the cone for the older student and the lower ones
for the child?

5. The base of the Cone of Experience (direct purposeful experiences) is

much wider than its apex (verbal symbol? Does this have any
educational significance? Any meaning that you can derive.

6. What is the Cone of Experience?

Abstraction (Questions for Generalization)
It is a visual model, a pictorial device that presents a band of experience
arrange according to degree of abstraction and not degree of difficulty.

The farther you go from the bottom of the cone, the more abstract the
experience becomes Dale further explains that the individual bands of the
Cone of Experience stand for experience that are fluid, extensive and
continually interact, it should not be taken literally in simplified form.

Different kind of sensory aid often overlap and sometime blend into one
another. One kind of sensory experience is not necessarily more
educationally useful than another. Sensory experiences are mixed and
interrelated.

Too much reliance on concrete experience may actually obstruct the process
of meaningful generalization. The best will be striking a balance between
concrete and abstract, direct participation and symbolic expression for the
learning that will continue throughout the life.

The older a person is the more abstract his concepts are likely to be. This can
be attributed to physical maturation, more vivid experiences and sometimes
great motivation in learning.

BANDS OF EXPERIENCE

1. Direct Purposeful Experiences - “First hand Experiences”, Have direct

participation in the outcome

2. Contrived Experiences - Here, we make use of a representative

models and mock-ups of reality.

3. Dramatized Experiences - “Reconstructed Experiences”, Can be used

to simplify an event or idea to its most important parts.

4. Demonstrations - It is a visualized explanation of an important fact, idea

or process by the use of photographs, drawings, films, displays, or guided
motions. It is showing how things are done.

5. Study Trips - These are excursions, educational trips, and visits

conducted to observe an event that is unavailable within the classroom.
 6. Exhibits - These are displays to be seen by spectators. They may consist of
working models arranged meaningfully or photographs with models, charts,
and posters. Sometimes exhibits are “for your eyes only”
7. Educational Television and Motion Pictures - Television and
motion pictures can reconstruct the reality of the past so effectively that we
are made to feel we are there.

8. Still Pictures, Recordings, and Radio - These are visual or auditory

devices which may be used by an individual or a group.

9. Visual Symbols - Help students see an idea, event, or process

10. Verbal Symbols - They are not like the objects or ideas for which they
stand.

Application
IV. Evaluation
(Modified True or False) Write true if the statement is correct. If false write
the correct answer on the space provided.

1. The Cone of Experience are arrange based on the degree of

difficulty than the degree of Abstraction
2. Cone of Experience must move systematically from base to
pinnacle
3. The older the person the more abstract his concept. While the
younger the person the more concrete concept are likely to be?
4. Demonstrations are visualized explanation of an important fact,
idea or process use of photographs, films, displays or Guided Motions
5. Symbolic,Iconic and Enactive level are part of Bruner’s three-tiered
Model.
