“Conversational learning occurs within two distinct but interconnected temporal dimensions; linear time and cyclical time. The discursive process is guided by linear time, whereas the recursive process follows a rhythm of cyclical time. The discursive process is an epistemological manifestation of individuals’ ideas and experiences that are made explicit in conversations... The discursive and recursive processes are very much a part of the conversational learning process, where learning occurs simultaneously within two intertwined time dimensions: linear time and organic time, the former being connected to the discursive process and the latter to the recursive process of learning. As learners engage themselves in conversation they situate themselves between two qualitatively distinct, though closely interconnected, experiences specific to each temporal dimension.”
This is from Kolb’s revolutionary book ‘Conversational Learning: an experiential approach to knowledge creation’, available on Amazon for only £104.27.
Last week’s solution:
We salute H. Branforth Dromedary, who translates Mr Stables’ quote thus: “making noises is not the same as talking, and this is an important philosophical point: when Lady Gaga said ‘Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah-roma-roma-mama-ga-ga-ooh-la-la’, she was protesting in the most profound way against Kant’s Philosophical Realism; it is a striking endorsement of Derrida’s far more sensible idea that nothing is real except fettuccini carbonara.
