Using Games at the Lessons according to the Learning Styles of Pupils

“Specified patterns of behavior and/or performance according to which the individual approaches a learning experience; a way in which the individual takes in new information and develops new skills; the process by which an individual retains new information or skills” (Sarasin, L. C, 2006)The manner in which individuals choose, or are inclined to approach, a learning situation (Cassidy, 2004). Learning Styles

 By Seeing (visual) By Hearing (auditory) By touching (Kinesthetic) How do we Learn?

Examining the 3 Learning Styles

-Remember what was read or seen in a presentation. -Don't retain what they hear over a long period of time.-Think in pictures, use “scenes” to describe.-Have vivid imaginations. -Associate color with information. -Remember faces, but not names. -Like written reports better than verbal ones. Visual Learners: Defined

-Holistic focus: need to see how pieces fit together-Need to visualize what they’re doing (may stop, look into space and visualize what they’re learning)-Learn best in interactive format: role play, modeling, groups, etc.-Become impatient with extensive listening Visual: Learning

-Use multiple visual formats: charts presentation software, video, notes, worksheets, flip charts, diagrams, etc.-Write goals/objectives of lesson on board-Open-ended creative questions encouraging multiple interpretations and solutions Visual: Teaching

Remember what they hear in a lesson or presentation. Or even during a conversation. Talk while they write. Are sophisticated speakers. Remember by listening, and therefore get the most out of lectures. Assign little meaning to concepts or information until that information is presented in an audible format. Auditory Learners: Defined

-Most commonly rewarded in post-secondary classrooms-Skill-oriented & Achievement-oriented-Memorize well-Clarify learning through articulation-Learn from hearing others speak-Prefer processing the spoken versus written word- Precise, logical, definite Auditory: Learning

-Auditory activities, such as brainstorming, buzz groups. Auditory: Teaching -Traditional lecture; independent work-Group discussion: feedback, paraphrasing from peers-Individual conference/interviews with instructor -Allow “thinking time” to process information

Kinesthetic Learners: Defined Want to move all the time…they want to be busy!Are well coordinated. Are “doers”, not big “talkers”. Like to take things apart, put them back together to learn how things work. Need concrete experiences to act as learning aides.

-Most neglected at post-secondary levels-Needs rarely addressed outside of laboratory-required classes-Need opportunities for creative, hands-on learning; interactions with concrete materials-Learning accommodated through movement. Kinesthetic : Learning

-Experiential learning activities: labs, modules, educational games-Simulations (interact with/apply concepts)-Interaction via technology: audio, video, computers-Demonstrations/ Role play/ Case Studies Kinesthetic : Teaching

Games for: Visual Auditory Kinesthetic -Chain drill. - Drill. -Ordering- Mill drill. -Matching. -Pictionary-Hot seat. -Memory game -Miming-Picture recognition. -Pelmanism - Picasso -Touch dictation -Whisper game -Point

Games for all Learning Styles-Role-plays - Bingo! -Running-dictation - Snakes-Making posters -Snowman-Making presentations -Quizzes-Writing a holiday post card-Information gap activities

Working in groups, how could you revise your earlier lesson from incorporating different learning styles
