The position of the remote experiment in the experiential learning and S.E.C.I.

The rapid spreading of the remote experiment in general, and of the remote laboratory in peculiar, has oriented the main research efforts for software and hardware creation and neglected the pedagogically aspects of this field. In the paper the authors started from this above consideration. The first conclusion of a deep analyze was that the remote experiment is a new shape of the experiential learning. When Knob (1984) launched this concept, virtual environment for learning was not discovered so that is important to analyze the position of the remote experiment in Kolb´s experiential learning theory. Paper presents some considerations in this respect. Also, in some paper [1], [2], [3], was sustained that the remote experiment has a great potential in creation of an environment able to nourish creativity potential of the students. Some considerations regarding remote experiment positioning in the Nonaka (1991) SECI (Socialization - Externalization - Combination - Internalization) concept are also made, resulting an original point of view that complete some pedagogical approaches of this new field. An attempt to combine Kolb and Nonaka concepts and to extract from this combination some rules for the remote experiment is made.
