  4. Draw WHAT YOU HEAR

  5. Draw along

  6. We communicate and processthe information differently…This is what this workshop is all about…

  7. Did you know that students retain: 10% of what they read 20% of what they hear 30% of what they see 50% of what they see and hear 70% of what they say 90% of what they say and do!!

  8. Multi-sensory approaches work well because of the way our brain is organized. When we learn, information takes one pathinto our brain when we use our eyes, another when we use our ears, and yet another when we use our hands. By using more than one sense, we bombard our brain with the new information in multiple ways. Thus, we learn better!!

  9. Three Major Learning Styles By Glover (August, 2004) Visual learners: seeing words, pictures, directions Auditory Learners: listening to tapes, conversation, words with music Kinesthetic & Tactile Learners: getting fully involved in role plays and field trips

  10. Watchwheretheeyesmove: Up = Visual Side to side = Auditory Down =Kinesthetic Listen to thewords we use: Visual: ‘Lookat me’, ‘I seewhatyoumean’, ‘I can’tpictureit’ Auditory: ‘Listen to me’, ‘I hearwhatyouaresaying’, ‘Soundsgood’ Kinesthetic: ‘Come to me’, ‘I feel for you’ Askdirections Visual: usesmaps, drawsmaps Auditory: justtellsyou Kinesthetic: takesyouthere Seatingincinema Visual: middle Auditory: sides Kinesthetic: back Working out learning styles

  12. 1. Visual learners: Have a keen awareness of aesthetics Prefer face-to-face meetings Can make movies in their minds of information they are reading Easily understand information presented in charts, pictures, or diagrams Pay close attention to body language Good with visual symbols Can easily recall printed information May forget names, but remember faces Are distracted by untidiness or movement Comfortable with books and graphics

  14. 2. Auditory Learners Learn best by hearing Have strong oral communication skills Tend to be talkers Forget faces, but remember names and what you talked about Can hear tones, rhythms, and notes of music Accurately remember details from conversations Prefer verbal directions Prefer the telephone Enjoy rapping! Become distracted by sounds or noises Sound out words

  15. 3. Kinesthetic or Tactile Learners Are well coordinated Learn best by using their hands Learn best by doing Able to disassemble and reassemble things Were labeled as hyperactive Ignore directions and figure it out as they go along Jump right in and try activities Prefer action stories and may not be keen readers Enjoy role play! Write words down to see if they feel right Gesture and use expressive movements

  16. What does this mean for teachers? For students?? What types of activities should teachers try to enhance student learning? What tips can teachers give students?

  17. Glover (August, 2004) provides suggestions for the 3 types of learners that follow:

  18. (a) Instructional Strategies for Visual Learners Use charts and pictures to study Keep the study environment clutter free Make class notes visual with drawings, spacing, symbols, etc. Highlight and write as you study. Use different colors to select and organize Recall information by visualizing text pages, notes, or study cards. Always write down what you need to remember When solving problems, draw or illustrate the problem and solution Make recall cues as visual as possible with capital letters, colors, and illustrations

  19. (b) Instructional Strategies Auditory Learners Study in groups or with friends Recite aloud as you study Talk to yourself – describe diagrams or practice answering test questions out loud Attend all class lectures Tape record lectures in addition to taking notes and play them in your car Recite study cards into a tape recorder and play it back Recall information during exams by hearing yourself recite in your head Talk yourself through the steps of a problem

  20. (c) Instructional Strategies for Kinesthetic Learners Use as many of your senses as possible when you study Study with another kinesthetic person Move around when you study – put study cards on the floor andrecite them as you move around the room When solving problems, move around and manipulate items to represent parts of the problem Study in small frequent chunks When taking tests try to feel how you stored information by remembering what you physically did as you studied Use a timer to set study periods. Start with short times and work up. Take a break when the timer sounds

  21. Visual learners: • present data incharts,diagrams • takephotographs for thearticles • prepare multimedia presentations • work on thelayout • Auditorylearners: • do interviews • braintsormideas for thearticles • take part indiscussions • userecordings (Audacity) • Kinestheticlearners: • do experiments • take part inexcursions, trips • take notes • participatein team activities Comenius Project tasks
