Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. The Kolb Model of experiential learning clearly demonstrates how there is no comparison to seeing something in a book and experiencing it in real life. Students, like sponges, soak up knowledge when placed in the right setting. Clearly, incorporating all the senses is an educational philosophy every teacher should adopt into his or her curriculum, yet not all instructors are experienced enough themselves to be able to lead their students through such an intense journey as the Kolb Model offers. Tangible learning is just that - a journey - because it incorporates so many facets of a person and requires the student to participate fully and completely in such environments as physical education. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

his or her curriculum, yet not all instructors are experienced enough themselves to be able to lead their students through such an intense journey as the Kolb Model offers.
Tangible learning is just that - a journey - because it incorporates so many facets of a person and requires the student to participate fully and completely in such environments
as physical education. II. THE KOLB MODEL AND CURRICULUM DESIGN The first segment of the Kolb Model - defined as "modeling and
encouraging the adoption of a teaching style that is designed to simultaneously address the strengths of each student and help her or him develop" (Stevens et al, 2001) as it
relates to curriculum design requires an assessment of the experiences of an individual or collective. In the development of a physical fitness program, the concrete experiences assessed could range
from the introduction interaction with equipment or the essence of team participation to the experiential factors that have influenced educators perceptions of physical fitness as being more than a period
to goof off and the role that the governing bodies should play in integrating a more comprehensive program. These experiences serve to set the stage for the second segment
of the Kolb Model, which contends that when individuals (or groups) experience something, they then go through a process of observation and reflection that will later be applied to the
generalization of principles. "It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten or its
