Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learners

One of the most accepted understandings of learning styles is that student learning
styles fall into three categories: Visual Learners, Auditory Learners and Kinesthetic
Learners. Students’ preferred learning modes have significant influence on their
behavior and learning.

 Students’ preferred learning modes should be matched with appropriate


learning strategies.
 Information that is accessed through students’ use of their modality
preferences shows an increase in their levels of comprehension, motivation,
and metacognition.

Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic, learners,


and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles, will prove to be
beneficial for your entire classroom. Keep in mind, sometimes you may find that it’s
a combination of all three sensory modalities that may be the best option. Allowing
students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their
academic confidence.

Visual

Visual learners prefer the use of images, maps, and graphic organizers to access and
understand new information.

Auditory

Auditory learners best understand new content through listening and speaking in
situations such as lectures and group discussions. Aural learners use repetition as a
study technique and benefit from the use of mnemonic devices.

Read & Write

Students with a strong reading/writing preference learn best through words. These
students may present themselves as copious note takers or avid readers, and are
able to translate abstract concepts into words and essays.

Kinesthetic

Students who are kinesthetic learners best understand information through tactile
representations of information. These students are hands-on learners and learn best
through figuring things out by hand (i.e. understanding how a clock works by
putting one together).

By understanding what kind of learner, you and/or your students are, you can now
gain a better perspective on how to implement these learning styles into your lesson
plans and study techniques.

The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns
differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in
which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information. For
example, when learning how to build a clock, some students understand the process
by following verbal instructions, while others have to physically manipulate the clock
themselves. This notion of individualized learning styles has gained widespread
recognition in education theory and classroom management strategy. Individual
learning styles depend on cognitive, emotional and environmental factors, as well as
one’s prior experience. In other words: everyone’s different. It is important for
educators to understand the differences in their students’ learning styles, so that
they can implement best practice strategies into their daily activities, curriculum and
assessments. Many degree programs, specifically higher-level ones like a doctorate
of education, integrate different learning styles and educational obstacles directly
into program curriculum.
