Framework of the Study
Figure 1. Model of Teaching-Learning Process
The relationship between the learner and subject is close, all of them are in dominant position. The learner is the core of the learning process. Therefore, learner interaction with the subject is the important thing. *The role of the teacher is simply to provide a service to the learners work with the subject (Anonymous, 2013).
Learning is a continuous process of growth and development acquired through self-activity and personal experience. It takes place within the students. The teacher should motivate the students to get involved in activities that are meaningful, appealing and varied students learn faster when they manipulate materials during

Identifying learning styles and teaching to those learning styles can increase academic achievement and improve attitudes towards learning. Analyses of the learning styles of underachieving students by Griggs and Dunn (1995) reveal that these student’ learning styles differ significantly from the learning styles of high achievers. Moreover, their research affirms that teaching and counselling these students congruently with their learning style preferences results in increased test scores and positive outlook on learning. They also recommend that teachers should concentrate on learning style strengths of each individual student and should use diverse teaching strategies with all …show more content…
They are the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. “The visual learners process new information by reading, looking at graphics, or watching a demonstration. Students with this learning style can grasp information presented in a chart or graph, but they may grow impatient listening to an explanation. Auditory learners prefer listening to explanations over reading them and may like to study by reciting information aloud. This type of learner may want to have background music while studying, or they may be distracted by noises and need a quiet space to study. Kinesthetic learners learn by doing and touching. They may have trouble sitting still while studying, and they are better able to understand information by writing it down or doing hands-on
During Week Two, participants involved in the study were required to complete a Learning Styles Assessment, as well as a Classroom Climate Survey. Both formal and informal observations were conducted, as well as a group discussion that centered around the results received from the Learning Styles Assessment and Classroom Climate Survey. Lastly, the researcher conducted an interview whereby both teachers involved in the study were surveyed to determine which of the following seven literacy strategies, proven effective with high school
Kinesthetic learning can be classified as trial and error learning; learning by performing the task. Personally, it is not until I perform the task that I gain the confidence within myself that I have actually believe that I understand. The second style is Aural, which is to listen, discuss, talk, and question. This relates to me because I want to know every piece of information that is available to me, and I want to question every aspect that I do not
For example if the teacher asks the children to create a cat from play dough, she should also create her a cat from the play dough and show the class her attempt at making a cat out of the play dough and she will enhance and encourage the learners to create their own because hers is just a mere guideline another example would be if at the beginning of the lesson the teacher says children put on your aprons as we going to do art today, at the same time she is busy putting on her apron. Teacher as a participator The teacher as a participator helps guide the children but not by physically doing their work for them. Children enjoys having an adult’s participation, especially when they feel they stuck or not certain if what they doing is right.
Learning styles of the Hispanic culture Research on the Hispanic culture consists of an expanding body of affirmation that teaching and counseling students with interventions are congruent with the students' learning-style preferences result in their increased academic achievement and more positive attitudes toward learning. Research done on the learning styles of Hispanic-Americans have compared various ethnic groups of students in elementary school through college levels using a measure that identifies different elements of learning style grouped into subjective categories. These categories consist of environmental learning style, emotional learning style, psychological learning style, physiological learning style, and the sociological
Tyne’s article starts out broad and then narrows in on each learning style. Tyne gives examples of the strengths and weaknesses of people with each of the three learning styles and encourages parents to identify their child’s learning style. LSSU is half as long as Tyne’s article. “Kinaesthetic, Auditory, and Visual Learning Styles for Children” is written in a more persuasive manner. Opposed to “What Learning Style Does Your Student Use?” which is more expository article.
Tyne’s article starts out broad and then narrows in on each learning style. Also, she gives examples of the strengths and weaknesses of people with each of the three learning styles and encourages parents to identify their own child’s learning style (Tyne). LSSU’s article is half as long as Tyne’s and is formatted into bullet points rather than paragraphs. The respective length of each article can be explained by the fact that Tyne’s article has more persuasive elements than LSSU’s article. Again, Tyne seems to have ulterior agenda to her article that LSSU’s article lacks.
As explained in the article “The Case for Working with Your Hands” by Matthew B. Crawford, we don’t only have regular classes in school, but also shop classes that have an artificial learning environment where we learn through kinesthetic learning. We have those classes because there are jobs in the world that are hands on. For instance, when something goes wrong with a car people don’t just go out and buy a new one. They take the car to an auto-mechanic
In a learning environment, teachers want to help students engage with what they are doing to promote deeper understanding" (Kohn, 1997c). The student-directed learning theory implies that the teacher should share the
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the study Learning is a change in behavior over time that is brought about by experience during training in educational encounter (Akubuiro and Joshua, 2003). Training as part of education, is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competence as a result of the teaching of practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competences (Angel, 2007). Training helps the learner to acquire certain useful skills and develop critical mind for the learner’s self-development.
3. Accommodating style (Lose-Win) Accommodating in negotiations is the opposite of competing. This means that unlike in competitive negotiations in which parties involved are only concerned with winning, in accommodative negotiations, relationship building is more important than winning. This is a style mostly used by the Brazilians.
This essay explains how to develop learning, teaching and assessment strategies to support the student to achieve a successful outcome. Cassidy & Kreitne (2009) defines learning styles as a range of contested and competing theories that account for variations in a person 's’ education. There are three main learning styles, the visual learners, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Visual learners mainly learn through seeing. They exhibit visual skills that are demonstrated in writing, reading, painting, sketching, manipulating images, fixing, interpreting visual images, have a good sense of direction and also create visual analogies and metaphors.
The Seven Learning Styles. Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music. Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing. Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
For differences that result from cognitive abilities, learning styles, or developmental stages, the differentiation in delivery style and product styles support students’ academic, emotional, and social growth. Strategies that support diversity: • frequently vary instructional technique • develop lessons around students ' interests, needs, and experiences • provide an encouraging, supportive environment • use cooperative learning and peer tutors for students needing remediation • provide study aids • teach content in small sequential steps with frequent checks for comprehension • use individualized materials and individualized instruction whenever possible • use
School and teachers can influence the extent and quality of learning for all students. Teacher’s beliefs, practices and attitudes are important for understanding and improving educational processes. They are closely linked to teachers’ strategies for coping with challenges in their daily professional life. Educators have control over numerous factors that influence motivation, achievement and behaviour of students. They are turning around their approach into a focus on creating positive school climate and responsive classroom as part of holistic quality education based on child rights where there is effective teaching and classroom management, thus enhancing students’ learning experiences.
Teachers have to use different pedagogical approaches. They should participate actively in their learning and to assist professional development. The
