kinesthetic learning

Examples of kinesthetic learning in the following topics:

• Effective Teaching Strategies

  • One conceptualization of different styles of learning identifies three main modalities: visual learning, auditory learning, and kinesthetic learning.
  • Kinesthetic learning (also known as tactile learning) is a learning style in which learning takes place by the student carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration.
  • Tactile-kinesthetic learners make up about five percent of the population.
  • Kinesthetic learners usually succeed in activities such as chemistry experiments, sporting activities, art and acting; they also may listen to music while learning or studying.
  • In kinesthetic learning, learning occurs by the learner using their body to express a thought, an idea or a concept (in any field).

• Learning Styles

  • The four most common learning styles are visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic/tactile.
  • Kinesthetic/Tactile learners process information actively through physical means.
  • Kinesthetic learning refers to whole body movement while tactile learning refers only to the sense of touch.
  • Most students that do not perform well in school are kinesthetic/tactile learners.
  • Claire is a kinesthetic/tactile learner.

• What is Pedagogy?

  • Children must also develop metacognition, or the ability to learn how to learn.
  • Learning how to integrate prior knowledge and learning how to learn should be a part of the classroom experience and should be facilitated by the teacher.
  • Some of these ways are inclusive of discovery learning, group learning, hands on learning, distance learning, and independent study.
  • Gagné defined instruction as "the set of planned external events which influence the process of learning and thus promote learning. " According to Gagné, learning occurs in a series of learning events.
  • There are five different learning styles, which can be remembered by the acronym VARK: Visual, or learners who learn by seeing or having something demonstrated; Aural, or learners who learn by hearing; Read/Write, or learners who learn simply by reading material and/or writing about material; Kinesthetic, or learners who learn by physically doing something.

• Cooperative Learning Benefits in Mrs. Solomon's Classroom

  • Solomon learns all of the benefits gained from the use of cooperative learning, her curiosity is piqued; however, she still finds herself questioning whether her complex class could overcome all of the barriers that are hindering the learning environment.
  • Cooperative learning also helps reduce classroom disruptions because students are allowed to socialize during the learning process.
  • Cooperative learning helps students learn language better than the drill and practice of traditional language training.
  • Cooperative learning also accommodates learning style differences among students because they are utilizing each of the three main learning styles: kinesthetic, auditory and visual.
  • Material presented by the instructor is both auditory and visual, and students working together use kinesthetic abilities by working with hands-on activities.

• Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom

  • Collaborative learning allows students to explore their interpersonal intelligence, while project-based learning may help structure activities designed to cultivate the nine intelligences.
  • In a student-centered lesson, the instructor may incorporate aspects of project-based learning, collaborative learning, or other inquiry-based models.
  • Cunningham is able to promote awareness of her students' Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence.
  • Having students learn and perform dances is a student-centered way of teaching through Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence.
  • The short plays that students prepare involve Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, as well as Interpersonal and Verbal/Linguistic intelligences.

• Educational Implications for Learning Styles

  • The first step in implementing learning style-based instruction is diagnosing the individual learning styles of each student.
  • A variety of methods exist for testing learning styles in a relatively quick manner.
  • Does your class have very few kinesthetic/tactile learners?
  • These projects would require that students use all learning styles.
  • An example of a complex activity would be a project-based learning project.

• The Eight Intelligences

  • Traditionally, Linguistic intelligence and Logical/Mathematical intelligence have been highly valued in education and learning environments.
  • People with this kind of intelligence tend to learn most readily from visual presentations such as movies, pictures, videos, and demonstrations using models and props.
  • Bodily/Kinesthetic intelligence refers to people who process information through the sensations they feel in their bodies.
  • Teachers can encourage the growth of Interpersonal Intelligences by designing lessons that include group work and by planning cooperative learning activities.
  • This would be in the domain of philosophers and religious leaders.The table below summarizes the strengths, learning preferences, and needs that correspond to the intelligences.

• What is Multiple Intelligences Theory?

  • The intelligences are Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Visual/Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic, and Existential.
  • From this new thinking, schools such the Ross School in New York, an independent educational institution, and the Key Learning Community, a public magnet school in Indianapolis emerged to try teaching using a Multiple Intelligences curriculum.

• Introduction

  • There are conflicting perspectives on adult learning as it relates to and separates itself from early childhood development practices and overall approaches to learning.
  • It is the belief of the authors that all styles of learning are applicable to both early childhood and adult learning, with differences presenting themselves in regard to the use of the style based on the learning environment.
  • In this narrated PowerPoint presentation, we have explored the theory of the Adult Learning environment by including examples of teaching assistants, e-learning in technical colleges, and self-directed learning.

• Using a Learning Management System

  • A Learning Management System is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning education courses.
  • A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning education courses or training programs .
  • Most learning management systems are web-based to facilitate access to learning content and administration.
  • Ideally, learning management systems employ competency-based learning to discover learning gaps.
  • Video explains how online Learning Management System work as a web-based training and learning platform to provide a complete e-learning solution to companies as well as educational institutions.
