Basically, there are four major learning style areas i.e. auditory, written, visual, and kinesthetic, and we are asked to apply all four learning styles in our lessons so that students can be introduced to a variety of learning styles.
Blending auditory, written, visual, and kinesthetic (tactile) learning styles into instruction offers the best opportunity to effectively transmit your message to 100% of your students.
Having a questionnaire at the beginning of the course on their preferred learning styles can be helpful. I, myself have discovered that I am a hands on for retaining the process of doing a certain job.
I plan to ask our employer to ask new student nurses to complete a learning style questionnaire prior to beginning classes--this will help to identify learning style in a class prior to beginning their education. Also, I will keep the learning styles in mind when deciding on which learning activities to do along with prescribed curriculum lectures.
When considering the different learning styles, this lesson has given me new ideas to effectively serve the entire class. In order to reach the ENTIRE class, my selection of learning modals must vary.
Best practice is to assess the different learning styles with students and adjust accordingly. However, learning occurs best if you expose your students to all the different learning styles over time.
I have tried to use multiple learning styles but I like the idea of taking it a step further and having my students complete a learning style assessment. I think I might implement that.
For best results incorporate all 4 learning learning methods, visual, auditory, verbal and kinesthetic into a lecture. Be creative when creating assignments, tests and power points.
Knowing your learner is important to determine how you will provide delivery of the topic that is being taught. This will make you teachings more effective and efficient. Giving the learners an easier way for them to learn, and reducing any frustrations or negative learning.
As instructors, we often tailor our lessons/lectures to our learning style as was said in the material. Sometimes this may be out of ease, forgetfulness, or even time constraints. I know that when I tailor the lesson/lecture to the majority of my student's learning styles, they are more successful. I find that switching up how you present material is important so the learner can also become more flexible in the different ways of learning. I believe having the learner be an active part of the lesson/lecture is vital as well.
I have learned that it's important to pay attention to students' learning styles or preferences so they are able to learn more effectively. This means providing information in a variety of formats and including activities that students can apply concepts to. This creats a real-world experience which engages the learner to retain and process information efficiently.
That we all have a different way of learning and that we can successfully try other techniques.
By recognizing and addressing the diverse learning styles in my classroom, I can customize lectures and projects to cater to these varying approaches. This ensures that every student is effectively absorbing the material and progressing in their understanding of the subject matter being taught.
From this module, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the different learning styles, such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing preferences. This has highlighted the importance of recognizing that individuals absorb information in diverse ways. I now appreciate how tailoring my approach to learning and teaching to align with these styles can enhance both comprehension and retention.
Application:
I plan to apply this knowledge by first identifying my own learning style more precisely, which will allow me to optimize my study habits and resources. For instance, if I’m more of a visual learner, I’ll incorporate more diagrams, charts, and videos into my study sessions.
Furthermore, in group settings or when helping others learn, I will be more mindful of their learning preferences. This could involve using varied teaching methods, such as discussing topics for auditory learners or providing hands-on examples for kinesthetic learners. Ultimately, this approach will not only improve my personal learning experience but also make me more effective in collaborative and teaching environments.
Taking the different learning styles into consideration, it helps me more in designing the training materials, and classroom lectures to be more effective for around 60% of the students at a given point in time. And by mixing the learning styles into my training material preparation, it can achieve around 100% coverage on the learning styles, applicable to all the students
By blending the different learning styles of students into work groups a balance of the different styles can be achieved.
Es importante trabajar en una clase pensando estrategias pedagogicas para diferentes tipos de alumnos: sean auditivos, visuales, kinestesico para ayudar a la adquisicion de los conocimientos
That last page had a lot of interesting ideas about how to creatively incorporate different learning styles. I will remember that at any given time, I'm reaching 50% of the students with my methods, and that the other 50% might need additional support to get that material.
Different learning styles can have a huge impact on how a student does many things including learning. Instructors can provide students with a formal quiz to determine student's learn best.
