​REVIEW

Different Learning Styles

Last year we discussed 3 different types of learning styles, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Because we are now at the end of week 2, I believe that it is time to classify your students. For the next week I want you to observe your students.

Visual Learners

How to recognize visual learners in your class: Someone with a preference for visual learning is partial to seeing and observing things, including pictures, diagrams, written directions and more. This is also referred to as the “spatial” learning style. Students who learn through sight understand information better when it’s presented in a visual way. These are your doodling students, your list makers and your students who take notes.

​ Auditory learners tend to learn better when the subject matter is reinforced by sound. These students would much rather listen to a lecture than read written notes, and they often use their own voices to reinforce new concepts and ideas. These types of learners prefer reading out loud to themselves. They aren’t afraid to speak up in class and are great at verbally explaining things. Additionally, they may be slower at reading and may often repeat things a teacher tells them.

Kinesthetic Learners

Kinesthetic learners, sometimes called tactile learners, learn through experiencing or doing things. They like to get involved by acting out events or using their hands to touch and handle in order to understand concepts. These types of learners might struggle to sit still and often excel at sports or like to dance. They may need to take more frequent breaks when studying.

 Since these students generally find it hard to stay quiet for long periods of time, get your auditory learners involved in the lecture by asking them to repeat new concepts back to you. Ask questions and let them answer. Invoke group discussions so your auditory and verbal processors can properly take in and understand the information they’re being presented with. Watching videos and using music or audiotapes are also helpful ways of learning for this group.

The whiteboard or smartboard is your best friend when teaching these types of learners. Give students opportunities to draw pictures and diagrams on the board, or ask students to doodle examples based on the topic they’re learning. Teachers catering to visual learners should regularly make handouts and use presentations. Visual learners may also need more time to process material, as they observe the visual cues before them. So be sure to give students a little time and space to absorb the information.

​The best way teachers can help these students learn is by getting them moving. Instruct students to act out a certain scene from a book or a lesson you’re teaching. Also try encouraging these students by incorporating movement into lessons: pacing to help memorize, learning games that involve moving around the classroom or having students write on the whiteboard as part of an activity.

What type of learner are you? How can your learning style help you in the classroom?

God made us unique

Oftentimes, we teach based on how we learn. But is this really effective in the classroom? Our students at the academy can be categorized in either one, two, or all three of these categories, so we have to change our lesson plans based on our students. ​

​Homework:

I want you to begin to classify your students based on their learning styles. You cannot teach all of them the same if they all learn different. Begin to observe how your students respond to your teaching style. Based on the information given, begin to reassess how you teach and begin to apply to your daily teaching rotation. I ensure you that your students will become more engaged adn excited about learning. Be sure to submit your questions by Sunday, September 15th.
