After a difficult project where an algorithm showed bias, she writes down what happened, analyzes why her initial checks failed, researches new bias-detection frameworks, and plans to apply a new testing protocol on her next project. Which learning model is Elena actively demonstrating?

A.

Honey and Mumford's Learning Styles

B.

Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle

C.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

D.

Tuckman's Team Development

How to approach this question

Match the four steps Elena took (experience, reflect, conceptualize, plan/experiment) to David Kolb's four-stage cycle.

Full Answer

B.Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle✓ Correct
Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle involves four stages: 1. Concrete Experience (the difficult project), 2. Reflective Observation (analyzing why checks failed), 3. Abstract Conceptualization (researching new frameworks), and 4. Active Experimentation (planning to apply the new protocol). Elena is perfectly executing this cycle for her Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Common mistakes

Selecting Honey and Mumford. While their styles are derived from Kolb, Kolb is the author of the actual experiential learning *cycle* described here.
