Learning Styles
Every person is different, and thus learns differently. By using a variety of teaching methods from each of these categories, teachers can accommodate their students’ different learning styles. For example:
Visual learners learn through seeing
best learn through visual aids (using pictures when describing things), diagrams, drawings, hand-outs, writing instructions down.
Auditory learners learn through listening
best learn through listening (lectures, discussions etc.). Methods include repeating words and concepts aloud, incorporating small-group discussion
Kinaesthetic learners learn through moving, doing
best learn through an active exploration of the world, learning through physical engagement such as role play.
