Then, they take time to reflect on what they have learned from the experience. Next, they conceptualize or analyze the information and make connections to existing knowledge or theories. Finally, they apply their newfound understanding to real-life situations or problems. This cycle allows for a holistic and active learning process, where learners can continuously build upon their experiences and deepen their understanding.Rate this question:
