Learning Styles

Teacher should recognize that each student prefers different learning styles and techniques.  Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some students may find that they have a dominant style of learning. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. There is no right mix. It is also helpful to encourage students to understand their preferred leaning style, by that time students reach college level noticing the best and most productive way to study to retain information. 

Teachers should make students aware of the various learning styles and encourage them to consider their preferred style as they complete their studies.  There are various learning styles:  Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Mathematical, and Social.

 

 Visual, students  prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.Auditory, students prefer using sound and music.Furthermore, Kinesthetic is when students prefer using their body hands and sense of touch.  Mathematical, students prefer using logic and reasoning.  Moreover other students are interpersonal they prefer working with others, whereas other students are intrapersonal they prefer to work alone and use self study.

So as a teacher we have to recognize our student's learning style and know hoe to deal with it.
