The Cone Of Learning By Edgar Dale
Have you ever heard of the cone of learning?
I recently read learned it from a webinar and found it very interesting.
Edgar Dale was an American who developed the Cone of Experience, also known as the Learning Pyramid. He made several contributions to audio and visual instructions.
He introcued the cone of learning in 1964 and it had me thinking about why the tradtional education system doesn't teach students the way its demostrated on the Cone of learning.
Because I really believe in the Cone of learning.
We tend to remember and learn things throught our experience.
Reading is just 10% and we mostly forget what we read most of the times.
However if are doing the real thing.
We will defenetily learn much faster.
Just like the teaching in WA we are practising it each and everyday the course is just 10% of our knowledge and the rest comes with experience.
Thats why I beleive in WA and the way the course is structured to learn by understanding and then implement each new info that you've learned.
The tasks given by Kyle focus on writing content each and every step of the course is a way to harness your craft and get better at it by it doing it as you finish the writing task.
I love this concept of learn and implement because thats truely how humans learn faster.
Thank you for reading

Really interesting to see this laid out. I think more modern concepts of learning tend to think that people learn a different rates for different ways based on the early development Of the brain. So the foundation of the principal isn’t what has to be learned, but the way in which we learn. Great post… Very interesting.
Interesting post! Thanks for sharing, Yunis!
