let me just try and give you a few
teaching tactics to deal with this kind
of visual Learners you provide these
kind of Learners with an outline of the
subject which has to be covered during
your entire session don't start straight
away you just give them an outline and
then you can replace those chunks of
text with graphs with diagrams you
present the data very very interestingly
you spread it so that there is a visual
appeal and they are you know interested
to see what you are trying to convey try
to use opposing colors when you want to
emphasize the contrast I'm sure most of
you are already using all these things
this is just to refresh your memories
and to make it as a recall and if there
are new teachers who have signed up this
would help them as they go on with their
careers use concept maps with key points
circles boxes arrows to connect the
information so that they are able to
mentally form a picture and make the
connection you can encourage the visual
Learners to take down notes and jot down
key facts even as you speak don't make
them sit and just just listen to you in
the class you can ask them to jot down
the key points so that as they jot down
they are able to create a mental map
within themselves a few handy tips for
the visual Learners remember research
says
65% of the Learners in our class are
visual Learners so that's a whole
majority any class that you take
research says about 65% are visual
Learners so you encourage them to make
their own mind Maps use color coding
they can create reading slips flashcards
anything to make the content interesting
in such a way they can assimilate it so
that's about the visual kind of a
learner then we move to the auditory
learner remember the V K the VAR model
talks about the auditory learner now
these are few uh students in the class
who prefer listening to explanations
they would be able to retain the
information better while listening the
other listeners so they prefer the oral
medium the oral is the content to such
students you have the podcasts there's a
whole array of things that are available
for these kind of students in today's
world then you have the webinars they
can listen to conferences and be
benefited by that participate in
workshops and then one-on-one meetings
sometimes spok en summaries of texts
here I would like to tell you when I was
studying I used to have my friends who
would just tell me give me five points I
would just like to have five points on
this question so that I can go and write
the exam so that benefits the person who
is helping them because it helps to
reinforce our own learning and it also
helps The Listener because they are able
to grasp so these are the kind of people
who can make use of peer buddies you
have talking books or audio books books
which can convert the chunk of
information into audio and then of
course the PowerPoint uh stories can be
there with audio
narratives they love to listen to
interviews speeches they would love to
participate in debates love to give
lectures and talks they're very good at
role playing and they love to read aloud
and of course as I told you peer buddies
or learning buddies are the best way to
try and engage these kind of Learners
the auditory type of Learners find it
easy to remember what they hear they
concentrate best by receiving
information by listening to themselves
or to someone else talking and they
repeat that information in their heads
so you will find them talking with their
maybe in front of a mirror you will try
and see them talking so that whatever
information is there gets into their
heads they will enjoy understand and
remember knowledge best from these
lectures discussions radios podcasts
mobile phone talks presentations and of
course by talking things through it's
also uh typical for them to learn things
loudly the selft talk I spoke to you
about talking to themselves in front of
a mirror this is called a selft talk
this serves to help sort things out by
vocalizing them so you need to vary your
class your presentation approach to
include group work paired readings
experiments plays projects and in
general keep the entire class of
students in their best social element
research says 30% are auditory Learners
in a class so you can even record your
own explanations for them many of these
students did very well during the online
classes because they were able to listen
to whatever you were sending as audio
files you can encourage group
discussions in the class and also ask
them to study with soft instrumental
music in the background that also works
so that's the second kind of a learner
now we come to the r model that is the
reading and the writing learning type
the this type they consume information
best when they see it all in words most
of us Educators fall under that category
because we are more given to reading a
lot picking out whatever people say we
would not like to take it from that we
would like to see these chunks of text
by ourselves so this is very very
popular amongst Educators a text based
input and output is quite favorable with
this kind of learners these kind of
Learners love to look into reports
essays manuals case studies Diaries
dictionaries and textual PowerPoint
presentations so it's all about words
words and words so we need to provide
some easy to digest notes and summaries
for these kind of students in the class
you can even prepare a transcript of
your videos and podcasts you can ensure
that your class has notebooks and pens
so that they can even take notes by
themselves and put this subject in their
own words so you have to have this
varied fair when you are dealing with a
class remember that your class is made
up of this kind of variety after all
variety is the spice of life and then of
course we move on to the last kind of
Learners in the class in the VAR
category that is the the kind athetic
Learners you would see some students
were all the time fidgeting and not
sitting in the class they would like to
use a Hands-On approach they prefer
things physical physical activities so
when you ask them to sit down quietly in
the class then they really face a lot of
difficulty they can't learn while they
sit down 5% of Learners are known to be
kinesthetic Learners they learn best
through activities they love to take
frequent study breaks and they also
learn better while they are moving
you'll see some people reading a text as
they move from one end to the other
don't blame them it's all in their genes
they are the kinesthetic kind of
Learners so they appreciate
demonstrations
simulations exhibitions
performances and they can present case
studies by participating in experiment
ments videos and movies more than what
we have spoken about or seen about the
previous kind of Learners they enjoy a
handson approach on the subject that
they are learning about use a lot of
real life examples applications and case
studies in your presentations to help
with abstract Concepts you can ask them
to redo lab experiment ments or projects
you can utilize pictures and photographs
which are able to illustrate your idea
after all there is a problem of Plenty
in today's world there's nothing that
you cannot tap into all these are
available in plenty on the net so make
use of all this to engage these
different kinds of Learners in the class
and then you have the group Learners
they learn well in Social settings these
are the ones who do very well to
collaborate and they have team building
skills try and include as many as group
learning activities in the classroom
group projects posters or presentations
group discussions formal or informal you
know we have such tools like put on a
thinking cap the think pair share turn
and talk partner up gallery walk all
these are very good tools that Educators
can use to engage these students who
will do well as a group and then of
course there are the loners the
individual Learners learning alone as
opposed to in a group is what they
prefer and they are able to have a
greater focus when they self-study now
this learning style connects with the
intrapersonal multiple intelligence I'm
sure all of you have heard about
multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner
so this comes under the
intrapersonal multiple intelligence
individual learning activities like
independent reading solo study sessions
then you have I see I think I wonder
these are all tools which a teacher can
have in her toolkit remember everyone
has a toolkit now teachers have toolkits
where there are lot of tools like all
these that I've been mentioning there
can can be an exit ticket an entry
ticket a 32 1 all these can be used and
things like I used to think but now I
know these are all the various tools
Educators can use in this classroom to
engage the solo learner
