Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effect of Kolb's Experiential Learning Strategy on enhancing the pedagogical skills of pre-service teachers of secondary school level. Kolb's Experiential Learning is a method of acquiring knowledge, skills, and experiences by creating situation to gain first hand experiences. According to Kolb optimal learning takes place when the learner pass through a cycle of experiential learning. It focuses on the learning process of the individual by reflecting upon the experiences provided and takes the students through the whole process in sequence. This study is an experimental study with 2x3 factorial design. Randomly selected 40 pre-service teachers were the samples of the study. Pedagogical skills of pre-service teachers were measured using 'Observation Cum Rating Scale' prepared by the investigator. Data was analysed using inferential statistic ANOVA at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that Kolb's experiential learning strategy is significantly effective than the conventional teaching strategy in enhancing the pedagogical skills of pre-service teachers of secondary school level
