Theoretical Foundation for Innovation
Whether it’s leadership development, team building, or problem-solving, AMI’s flexible approach enables the integration of diverse training goals into the game design. This not only enriches the learning experience but also allows trainers and clients to tailor the program to their specific needs, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the training.
AMI’s interactive course design is based on the Theory of Experiential Learning by David Kolb, a renowned educational model that emerged in the 1980s and has since shaped the landscape of education and training. This theory underscores the importance of experience in learning and outlines a cyclical process of gaining knowledge, consisting of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
Edgar Dale’s Learning Pyramid, also known as the Cone of Experience, was introduced in the 1946 as a model to illustrate the varying levels of learning effectiveness associated with different types of educational activities. The model suggests that people generally remember more information from interactive, hands-on activities than from passive learning methods. This pyramid has been widely adopted in the educational field, shaping teaching methodologies and learning strategies across the globe. AMI’s course design, integrating the principles of Dale’s Learning Pyramid, emphasizes active participation and hands-on experiences to facilitate deep and lasting learning, demonstrating the enduring relevance and effectiveness of Dale’s model.
