Abstract

This study empirically analyzed Kolb's experiential learning process through the technique of journaling. Undergraduate students enrolled in consumer behavior were asked to respond to four areas of inquiry for a purchase experience according to Kolb's model. Results indicate that the technique of journaling is an effective method of learning for consumer behavior students. This new experiential learning technique may also be useful for other marketing courses.
