Reflection

Different people prefer different learning styles. No person uses one style of learning styles but they do prefer different learning styles. It is therefore important to attempt to cater for all learning styles during lessons.’ The learning styles are gathered by a system in which is VAK that stands for Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. It is meant to be perceived that learners learn better by hearing and seeing. So it is intended to conclude that learner learns better by hearing and seeing and learning is a combination of auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Firstly I understood that teaching a child in the way they learn caters most effective tools to teach them as children have different learning modes.  

 Relating with my personal experiences, I argue that Kinesthetic takes better role than visual and auditory. It’s because it includes hand on approach and actively exploring the physical world around them. It is the most popular type of learning with students where teachers help them to gain a better understanding of the material. Moreover, it accumulates the self-esteem and confident of a child as the child deals everything with hand on experiences.

 For example like learning ICT in practical is most understandable ways rather than giving the theory class. There is no doubt that it provides educators with a unique opportunity to enrich the minds of the students to have room for exploring more by doing.  With this style of learning, children are also engaged in positive social interaction, develop problem-solving skills and can apply creativity through self-expression.

For example, students learning dances from different cultures can help our students/children appreciate the value of diverse cultures. When children get to mingle with other children in a group it will help them develop positive social interactions where they learn to communicate and cooperate.  They also learn the values of trust, discipline, and persistence. Skills such as creative thinking, problem-solving, observation can also be developed by engaging students in creative kinesthetic activities in doing so students are aware of multicultural education and social skills. Finally, we as a teacher should discover our student’s learning styles so that they get the concept meaningfully and to prepare for their future in his or her life.
