Kolb’s four stages experiential learning model have been well received since it was
proposed during mid 1980’s. In this paper, we approach the analysis of Kolb’s Cycle
from an engineering point of view, where we develop a mathematical model of the
learning curve when Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is use. Furthermore, we analyse
the characteristics of the derived model for example, learning stability and learning
robustness. We conclude with set of important characteristics of Kolb’s cycle that we
could clearly explore after utilizing the control engineering tools. The most important
characters are accommodating the uncertainties of the students learning ability. This
paper is one of the few trials traced in the pedagogical literature where control
engineering methods are applied for studying pedagogical process.
