This lesson was a great reminder of diversifying your teaching methods to match the various learning styles. I love mixing different methods of delivery throughout my lessons. I take pride in teaching the various learning styles, as I'm currently getting my degree, and I struggle with some of the classes as they teach to only one learning style.
I've learned about different learning styles and will better be able to develop curriculum that incorporates different aspects of each to better reach all learners.
focus on different learning styles, partnering, peer learning- all great student engagement tactics.
It's an advantage for instructors to know different learning styles. Students can alter lectures to give students a greater advantage.
Different students require different learning styles so it is important as an instructor to be able to apply a variety of styles in the classroom setting.
USING DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES CAN HELP MY STUDENTS RETAIN MORE INFORMATION.
Just making sure that we take as many learning styles as possible into consideration when we are teaching because students vary in there learning styles.
I learned that kinesthetic learners could be helped by allowing them to stand, have study breaks, or even chew gum. I did not realize it, but I myself value those things. It seems like those with ADD could be placed in the kinesthetic category. In my future practices, I will highlight text more in power points, give short breaks, and allow students to stand if need be.
I learned more about the main learning styles and the differences in them. I will apply this knowledge to future classes to be sure each learning style is addressed as best as possible for my students success.
There is not a one step fits all approach to teaching students. It is important to try and understand what learning style your students have and then use the best approaches within your course to ensure that all students are able to learn in their own ways.
Understand the different learning styles and try to apply it to your student.
Audio and visual presentations together will be beneficial to all types of motivated learners.
Figuring out how to blend styles so everyone has a take away regardless of how they best learn.
I find using visualization like PPT, flowcharts and videos in a classroom to be very helpful. Also, some sort of work projects as group made to be game-like can also be fun and helps to learn information.
I always thought that I was a visual learner. After hearing about all the learning styles, I have found that I am in the Kinesiology group! That is surprising to me. I think that providing the students with a learning preference survey early in the year, will help me know how best to teach certain students. I do provide all teaching strategies, by reading in text, doing worksheets, Powerpoint discussions, a little computer work, and a lots of hands on. However, I sometimes am repeating the work and not covering all that I should. I could offer the students a choice on how they want to learn the lesson. That might be a strategy that I add.
By using multiple type of learning styles to complete lessons you can boost retention rates by 10-15 % by engaging in the student's preferred method of learning. It also allows other students to expand the way they learn by using methods other than visual or auditory to become more well-rounded.
Comment on Apryl Remmer's post: Great idea. I utilize concept maps and sometimes we work on them as a group. I also incorporate videos pertaining to the topic of discussion in my teaching. We also go over how to perform skills and the students need to perform a retrun demonstration on the specific skill.
I learned about various students' learning preferences and its importance. I can use this knowledge to better understand and cater to the diverse learning styles of students. For instance, when teaching or designing educational materials, it is important to consider incorporating strategies that appeal to auditory learners, such as encouraging class discussions and providing audio resources. Similarly, it is important to ensure to include written materials for those who prefer reading, use visuals for visual learners, and incorporate hands-on activities and movement for kinesthetic learners to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
I have already learned that I am a visual-learner. However, I can see the benefit of the other styles of learning. I will keep those other style in mind when meeting new students.
