"the cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogies, it does not bear an exact and detailed relationship to the complex elements it represents."
The cone of experience is like the bottle of your memories in past , all your experience in your childhood,elementary,high school, happy and sad experience all of those experience you can relate it back or look back in the way of those cone or bottle .Where you put all the remembrance of your past experience.Example of this is the picture or recording in radio or even small souvenirs.
he Cone of Experience is a visual model meant to summarise Dale’s classification system for the varied types of mediated learning experiences.
The original labels for Dale’s ten categories are: Direct, Purposeful Experiences; Contrived Experiences; Dramatic Participation; Demonstrations; Field Trips; Exhibits; Motion Pictures; Radio; Recordings; Still Pictures; Visual Symbols; and Verbal Symbols.Dale's Cone of Experience - (Audio visual methods in teaching 1957)
When Dale researched learning and teaching methods he found that much of what we found to be true of direct and indirect (and of concrete and abstract) experience could be summarised in a pyramid or ‘pictorial device’ Dales called ‘the Cone of Experience’. In his book ‘Audio visual methods in teaching’ – 1957, he stated that the cone was not offered as a perfect or mechanically flawless picture to be taken absolutely literally. It was merely designed as a visual aid to help explain the interrelationships of the various types of audio-visual materials, as well as their individual ‘positions’ in the learning process.
Dale points out that it would be a dangerous mistake to regard the bands on the cone as rigid, inflexible divisions.
He said “The cone device is a visual metaphor of learning experiences, in which the various types of audio-visual materials are arranged in the order of increasing abstractness as one proceeds from direct experiences”
