What makes learning styles?
Learning styles change according to age; very small children are very kinaesthetic. This is why they are always moving or doing something. At age five or six they often become more tactile. At this age they like to touch everything. Then, at age eight or nine children usually become more visual or auditory. Women are often auditory, men are often visual (but not always). We can’t change our students’ learning styles, but we can change our teaching styles!
Which style is best?
All styles are the best! It isn’t possible to say that one style is better than another. Traditional teaching is very auditory and a little bit visual. This isn’t the best style, just the traditional style and it isn’t good for all of the students in a class.
What happens when a teacher only uses one type of activity?
If we only use auditory activities then we are only teaching the auditory learners in our class. The visual, kinaesthetic and tactile learners will have a difficult time understanding. They may get bored or frustrated and they might behave badly or cause problems. If we only use visual activities, then the auditory, tactile and kinaesthetic students will not understand or learn very well.
How can a teacher teach students with different learning styles? When you plan your lesson check and be sure that the activities you planned are good for different learning styles. Some activities are good for two, three or four different styles. Instead of only talking, write information on the blackboard too (auditory and visual). Ask students to write their answers on the blackboard after they finish working (kinaesthetic and visual). Write instructions on a card and ask students to work in groups (tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory and visual).
We have different students: some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, some are kinaesthetic or tactile learners. We need to remember to use different activities so that all our students can learn.
