| Three basic learning styles: Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Visual |
|
|
|
| The proper use of lecture is to talk with the students about those things they cannot learn on their own. These are students that learn through hearing. |
|
|
|
| Learning through first hand experience is the best possible way for many students to learn as it often allows them to use all of their sensory processes to take in information. In addition, there is not intermediary between them and the experience potentially biasing, filtering, or shading the sensory data. This is to learn by doing.

|
|
| the visual cortex of the brain is larger than all of the other sensory cortexes of the brain put together. Students have grown up in a media based culture. The use of visual images needs to be a large part of the teaching practice. This is learning by seeing.

|
| General Population percentage of Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic learning (What is the percent for each?) |
|
| Auditory: 20%Visual: 65%Kinesthetic: 15% |

| Teachers need to be able to teach ina variety of ways. Throughout the week there should be lessons that are geared for auditory, kinesthetic, and Visual Learners |
