Kinesthetic learning is a type of learning in which the student or learner has to physically enhance their learning experience to help with understanding . The main technique used in this project is role play. We are using this technique in order to immerse the reader into the life of an orphan in hopes that the reader will now better understand the true emotion and meaning of the book. Role play is an interesting way of trying to better understand any subject of knowledge. Becoming the characters of readings can bring out true emotions and meanings from almost any text. Switching roles with the main character or any character can help the reader to better understand what the author has written . In most cases a kinesthetic learner will find
The section I scored most in was kinesthetic intelligence and I was not surprised. People who got this can learn the best through hands on experiments and are always physically active. These people also have trouble sitting still and may become distracted easily. A few careers that are in this category are, athlete, physical education, and a physical therapist. I strongly agree with why I got kinesthetic as my highest scored. I am always physically active and I love to learn things if I can see it and touch it. I do tend to get distracted easily if I am just sitting and doing nothing. Being an athlete has always been my dream job so I agree with the careers that it gave me. A physical therapist has also been a career that I have been interested
Dramatic play is one of the most important and useful center for children in the classroom. By playing in dramatic play they can develop their physical, cognitive, linguistic, social and emotional domains. In the article “Supporting Language: Culturally Rich Dramatic Play” the author state” Mrs. Ramos invites them to talk about their weekend activities. Rodrigo says he and his grandmother went to the panaderia (bakery). Two children ask, “What is that?” Juanita explains, “That’s a bakery where you buy bread and cake.” Mrs. Ramos says she and her mother used to go to the panaderia when she was a child. The children smile.” This a further proof of how children can develop their cognitive, linguistic
The last group is kinesthetic communicators who learn through experiencing and through touch. Their interest is in how a message FEELS. They memorize by doing or by walking through something. They will often talk more slowly and softly. Often it will take a kinesthetic communicator more words to articulate what they are trying to say. When talking, their eyes may look down, and they’d like to touch others, or stand closer or huddle in groups. Their arms tend to wrap around their body. Kinesthetic communicators are people who find it hard to sit still. They love to experiment, to be challenged, to get their hands dirty. They are often high energy folks who have engaged in sport, or those chirpy people who are surrounded by others. Since they’re emotional and caring, it’s hard for them to say “no” when asked to
After hard work I finally found out I am a kinesthetic, right brained learner. To begin, I used many tools to figure it out including a computer test and survey sheets. My favorite one was the computer test, it said i was a kinesthetic learner. On the characteristic worksheet it stated that I am mostly right brained. That made me confused because for left brain it said, “Good at math” and I’m very good at math. I am right brained because of the way I can be successful. I am better by having a partner to help me work. I always work better with a partner because I can talk through things. I love to learn when I can do it having fun. I can finish work quickly if I focus on the work. If I do my work around tons of noise I can’t do my work. I use
In September of 2012, I was sitting in a class listening to my professor going on and on about something in history. Since then I realize that I didn’t learn anything by just listening. I had to find out a better way to learn. I searched on the internet and took some quizzes and found out that I’m a kinesthetic learner.
Everyone has their learning style auditory,visual and kinesthetic. These are all different learning styles for different people auditory is a learning style for people who learn easier through listening to something. visual is when somebody is a visual learner meaning that they learn through sight the best.Some people have more than one learning style they could be visual and auditory or kinetic and auditory or all of them.
Kinesthesis is the sensation of how muscles, strains, and joints move. Kinesthesis is also called kinesthesia. It involves being able to pick out changes in body position and movements without depending on your five senses. You are using your kinesthetic sense whenever you are involved in a physical activity such as walking and running. It is anything that requires body movement. Without this, you will not know how to pick up objects, know where your hands are, or know where you are stepping. There are disorders that your limbs and stuff do not function.
The dramatic play is one of great activities to evaluate and promote the social skills because in order to play a role in a dramatic play, the child needs the understanding of the role and able to make “appropriate response to the others” (Beaty, 2014, p. 126). Thus, Draco performed a great learned skills that are social skills, speaking skills, motor skills, and his affection during the dramatic play.
What is Reader’s Theater? Reader’s Theater is a unique strategy to help students develop reading fluency while transforming their classroom into a stage for the readers to perform, making each reader a star. Readers Theatre is known as a very motivating strategy to use in the classroom that connects students’ oral reading skills with literacy and dramatic role-play (Carrick, 2001). This may sound like a traditional theater performance to many, but it is very different from what we see in a traditional theater. The only materials needed to perform in a Readers Theatre are scripts, as costumes, props, and other materials generally used during performances are not required, but can be used if the teacher desires. When performing and reading the script during Readers Theatre, readers use their oral language skills, facial expressions, and body movements to act out the role of the characters that are being portrayed throughout the script. Alongside the readers, a specific student is chosen to serve as the narrator to explain the story’s setting and any other relevant information, as well as reading the lines in the script that are not assigned to a reader and usually are meant to transition into a new scene of the story being read in the script (Carrick, 2001).
Therefore they created this program to prove that the importance of play goes beyond childhood education. Role-play, tool play, peer play and text play are the visual literacies they used. Role-play helps develop identities, tool play uses improvisation, peer play “includes meme-driven peer play, as when students emulated patterns that they observed in the photography and editing work of others to contribute to creating memes across a collection of portraits.”(p.69). And text play “is a form of intertextuality, as students modeled their own portraits after those of mentor texts that they have seen by emulating body positioning, props, and distance.” The authors approach to teaching literacy is abstract and could be questioned for effectiveness. But they state that “visual mode helped level the playing field, particularly for students who are often positioned downhill by literacy tasks in school.”(p.67). They believe in less highlight on the priorities of the curriculum and to give students the opportunity to use their imaginations. This program was created to teach literacy through different forms of communication, give students the opportunity to share their goals and learn from one another. They were provided with multiple modalities such as kinesthetic, visual and
This course was emphasized on learning through play and how children can learn to understand the world around them. When children engage in a new experiences and environments, it contributes to the developmental of social and emotional, and cognitive. Children’s play can also help children build confidence, develop social skills, develop physical skills, language and communication skills. Unstructured free play is one of the most important things we can do with the children.
The use of role play is a viable instructional strategy used across a wide range of grade levels, even into college and university (Springer, et al, 1999). Role playing can help students see problems and solutions from different perspectives, which is critical to understanding the human behavior of people during transactions of all types, including meetings.
Role Play is an integral part of the Communication Skills syllabus in English. All the professional courses these days include Role Plays to motivate learners about verbal, nonverbal communication leading to professionalism.
Some authors consider it to be a type of interactive simulation that teachers use to involve students and develop their understanding as in role-play the participants act the role of a character in a particular situation (Lean, Moizer, Towler, & Abbey, 2006). Also, according to Van Hasselt et al., (2005), this learning technique helps develop active-listening skills, social problem-solving skills and demonstration of emotional empathy. Brummel et al., (2010) states that students appreciate the role-play practice because it catches their attention as well as motivates them to learn and expand their knowledge about the situation and how to resolve it in different ways. One of the most popular approaches to role-plays in the “Role-Switch” model, which consists in learning from the inside out as the person takes the role of another person in order to understand their thoughts and actions. Another tactic is called “Almost Real Life” in which a person role-plays an experience as close as possible to the real situation in order to apply his skills in a pretended safe atmosphere. From Kettula and Berghäll (2012) point of view, there are two different approaches to role play: unstructured/ developmental and structured/method-centered. The first approach is used to deal with justly complex settings and it is related to learning attitudes and motivations while structured/ method- centered focus more in
