ENACTIVE

ENACTIVE- refers to the direct or actual experiences or encounter with what is. This is a life on the raw, rich and unedited. They form the bases for all other learning experiences.

ICONIC- Refers to the more abstract experiences which could be in the form of picture

SYMBOLIC- refers to the use of the words or printed materials which no longer resemble the subject under study.
The BRUNER’S THREE-FOLD ANALYSIS suggests that learning is more impressive if one proceeds from the concrete to abstract, or from specific to general because more senses are involved and the relationships are built in a more pronounced manner.
If we want out students to remember and master what was taught, we cannot ignore what the Cone of Experience reminds us to make use of a combination of many learning resources as we can and to proceed to the abstract only after we have presented the concrete.

Do we have to end in the abstract'? Or should the abstract lead us again to the concrete and the concrete to the abstract again? So learning is from the concrete to the abstract, from the abstract to the concrete and from the concrete to the abstract again? It becomes a cycle.
