A Critical Review Of The Application Of Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory Applied Through The Use Of Computer Based Simulations Within Virtual Environments, 2000-2016, Daniel J. Grady
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This integrative research review aims to examine the application of Kolb’s theory of experiential learning through the use of simulations within virtual learning environments. It will first cover the framework of experiential learning as stated by Kolb, a learning theory that is finding new life within the context of simulations, role-playing games (RPGs), massive multiplayer role playing games (MMORPGs) and virtual environments. This analysis was conducted by making use of combined research strategies that focused specifically on both qualitative and quantitative reviews that utilized Kolb’s experiential theory of learning (ELT) within the context of the application of computer based simulations …
