Compare And Contrast Anatomy Laboratory Learning And Kinesthetic Learning

Decent Essays

The lecture portion of class is ideal for auditory learners and visual learners because they can listen to lecture and see PowerPoints but leaves very little room for kinesthetic learners.

In college, kinesthetic learning is usually restricted to science, which makes the anatomy lab the perfect place to embrace it. By appealing to each of the learning styles in the anatomy lab, better learning and retention will take place.

Students’ skills are best improved through practice, but before practice, observation is a key component to learning. For example, even if the students are given the steps on how to perform the return demonstration, they want to see the actual procedure to be more confident that they can accomplish it on their own. Students can use visual media as a way to retain concepts and ideas.…

    While attending to college, there are two factors contributed to my academic problems: lectures and the interaction. First of all, the lectures are too general.
