The Cone of Learning

Some time ago JB posted this little gem: The Cone of Learning. He wrote:
This is a model that demonstrates how active learning is much better than passive.
In other words, we learn and retain A TON more by doing vs. just reading, listening, etc.
This works for school as well as training and nutrition.
(And it doesn’t bode well for keyboard jockeys.)
Knowing is DOING!

Let’s look at the Cone of Learning in a little more depth.
Most folks on the PN team work as teachers, trainers, and/or counsellors in some capacity. So they’re interested, naturally, in learning — how do people learn, and how can they help other people learn too?
If you’ve read your PN manual, you may remember that JB mentions the “I know, I know” phenomenon. This is when we “know” something, but fail to actually act as if it were true or important.
