Lifelong learning and experiential learning, two separate terms but relatively having
the same meaning. The nature of the learners in lifelong learning is well received as
enjoying the journey towards the pursuit of knowledge for both personal and
professional purposes. Experiential learning involves experiences in the learning
process supported by reflection. At OUM, most of the learners are working adults.
Lifelong learning is well connected with experiential learning regarding the learning
process. This study intends to observe the views of lifelong learners from the
perspective of experiential learning by Kolb (2017). The study aims to determine the
types of learning styles practiced by lifelong learners in Sekolah Pondok Sg. Bakap,
Seberang Prai. The views from the lifelong learners in Sekolah Pondok Pondok Tuan
Guru Haji Yusoff, Sg. Bakap, Seberang Prai are gathered and fit in the Nine Learning
Styles of the Kolb Learning Style Inventory Version 4.0 (KLSI 4.0). Qualitative
approaches are used by triangulation techniques to ensure that the information obtained
is more accurate, valid and reliable, then measured through the determiners adapted
from Kolb & Kolb (2017). The findings based on the qualitative data shows that the
learning styles have fulfilled most of the KLSI, some of the evidence seems to be
unique due to the nature of the programme. It enables us to understand the process of
learning and their unique method of learning. By strengthening the realisation of how
they learn will create insights on the level of metacognitive control of their learning
process, hence will enable us to create the rubric as a guide in designing the lesson on
online learning at OUM. (Abstract by authors
