(1.1) The learning cycle

To make this chapter more concrete, I first introduce metaphors in me.

Fig: the learning cycle (again) Description of words in the figure are described in learning cycle

The three elements of the cycle correspond to the three spatial dimensions. Information gathering spreads horizontally. Modeling is built up vertically. Verification hides behind the scenes.

Fig: The three elements correspond to three dimensions

• Horizontal
  • 具体 = concrete phase
  • 体験 = experience
  • 情報収集 = information gathering
• Vertical
  • 抽象 = abstract phase
  • 抽象化 = abstraction
  • モデル化 = modeling
  • パターンの発見 = pattern discovery
• Hiding
  • 応用 = application phase
  • 実践 = practice
  • 検証 = verification
