Learners

effort to make sure that I was fluctuating my voice as much as possible because I did not want to have a monotone voice. However, I noticed that towards the end of my speech, I started to sound less enthusiastic about my topic, which made the pitch of my voice go down, making the last two points of my speech very boring. The rate at which I gave my speech was nearly perfect at the beginning and I believe that this was the case because I knew what I was going to say and did not have to refer to my notes that often. But when I reached the part about the kinesthetic learner, I began to slow down and refer to my notes many more times than I had done previously. In doing so, my speech became choppier and you could tell that I was not as well informed about the last two learners, as I was about the first two learners. The amount of pauses in my speech are very distracting. For example when talking about reading/writing learners, I say the following: *looking at my notes with a two second pause* “um”…

Learning and Learning Environment 2.1 Modes of learning To facilitate active and independent learning I have used a range of learning modes that promote cooperative, participative and collaborative learning – simulation, role play. Learners simulate through role play in a commercial salon environment working in pairs during practical activities, this involves preparing for the treatments they plan to carry out. Preparation is the learners being able to set up their equipment and products…

It is impracticable to expect a learner to be successful and motivated if their sole instruction comes from reading a textbook. If a student begins to disengage, it is important for the teacher to be aware of this and should change the way they are teaching that particular lesson. Similarly, a kinesthetic learner will be frustrated listening to his teacher lecture class after class. It is Important to be clear with your learners when you tell them your objectives. Teachers must ensure that the…

Those are the types of learning that I find are the most interestin, well I was reading some of the ideas from Howard Gardner it open my eyes to the vast amount of ways to learn that kids implicate in their day-to-day lives. It is very fascinating because it 's like a computer that needs different types of software to run the same way. That in turn makes it very difficult for teachers to teach every student the same especially when they…

will reach the kinesthetic learner as well. There is a large bank of interactive tools online that teachers can take advantage of to reach the learners that need to do or create in order to learn. “Using multimedia technology offers opportunities for individualized instructions in a classroom with learners of a new language at various skill levels and different learning styles, therefore making effective use of instructions time” (D. Hollenbeck & J. Hollenbeck , 2009). Teachers can even use…

knowledge, I am creating a lesson which begins with content the learner has previously learned. This will assist in boosting the focus learner’s confidence and help transition her into each lesson. By scaffolding content within lessons, I will assist the learner in maintaining knowledge of money concepts, such as identifying coins and their values. Repetition through the lessons and reviewing previously learned content at the beginning of each lesson, along with reviewing content at the end of…

For this discussion, I chose the article, “Learning-Style Characteristics of Adult Learners” by Andrea Honigsfeld and Rita Dunn. There are many different learning styles mentioned in this article that affect college students today. The one thing that stood out to me the most was the Dunn and Dunn Learning Style Model. The most common learning styles include those of which affects a person’s environmental, emotional, sociological, physiologic, and the way they process material. When putting these…

Whether we want to admit it or not, education is the root of life. Everything we say and do involves some sort of education. Education does not discriminate anyone for their abilities nor their disabilities, but it is accepting of all types of learners. Since this is true, why must people look down upon those with different learning styles than them, specifically the learners with exceptionalities? Children with learning exceptionalities deserve better treatment in our society. Sometimes, they…

I’m not the very best with computers to top it off however I know all the basics but that didn’t really help with my struggle to…
