Reflection of Edgar Dale's cone of experience 

  This is Edgar Dale's cone of experience and as we can see there are different kinds of methods on which the students can learn. According to Edgar Dale's cone of experience, learners retain more information on what they are doing if they themselves can do it compared to if they just hear it or see it.

     Base from my experience, i really think that Edgar Dale’s cone of experience is very important to us, learners because we do remember or retain information if we ourselves do it and the cone also contains strategies that can cater the needs of the learn. 

   This cone of experience is also very helpful in my studies especially that my major in Biological Science and we really do need some concrete information that is why our laboratory allows us to discover and demonstrate the information that we acquired and it is very helpful because it retains in our minds longer.

    As future educators, we should consider Edgar Dale’s cone of experience in delivering our lesson to the students because not all students have the same learning strategy and I am pretty sure that not all of the students are fun of verbal symbols all the time. 

     To retain the students learning longer we must deliver our lessons using Edgar Dale’s cone of experience because it can cater all the learning strategies of the students, you can catch their attention easily, they will participate in your discussion and most of all they will retain the lessons longer.

     The cone of experience is a visual models, a pictorial device that presents 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 of experience becomes.

The learner learning experiences can be strengthen when they are involved in learning process.  On the basis of these objectives, the teacher select the appropriate teaching method to be used and, in turn, base on the teaching method selected, chooses also the appropriate learning experiences, and  appropriate materials, equipment and facilities.  The effective use of learning resources is dependent on the expertise of the teacher as motivator, the motivation level or responsiveness, and the involment of the learners in the learning process.

The system is theoritically simple but it need more practice, the teacher should formulate a lesson objective that fit to the need of the learner, the teacher should select the subject in consideration with the learning resources.

The Dale Cone of Experience illustrate the phase or elements are connected to one another.  If one element of instruction fails, the outcome which is learning is considered affected.  The attainment of the learning objective is dependent upon the elements and all actors involved in the process.
