3 Learning Styles – Audio, Visual & Kinethetic Learners

Educators have known that people learn differently. Each person has his or her own “Learning Styles” which are usually categorized as Visual Learner, Audio Learner & Kinethetic Learner.

Such information is needed to help people with learning disabilities. Subject, contents and materials can then be presented and taught according to the learning style of the student. However not every student will meet an educator who knows exactly how best to present the subject according to his or her learning style. Moreover, this is just not possible in a class learning environment where there are lots of other students and not everyone has the same learning styles. The teacher can only presents the subject, content and material according to the norm of the class. As a result, students that do not have this norm or generic learning style will not learn very well.

The above explains why excellent tuition teachers are very important and they are paid very well because they can really help an individual student according to the student’s learning style.

There are some subjects (such as mathematics and languages) that educators find challenging to present the contents and materials according to learning style. As as result, some students will feel that they are stupid and unable to handle the learn these subjects.  They would shy away from these subjects for the rest of their lives and limited their career potential because they think that these subjects are impossible to understand. For educators and stakeholders to “re-work” each subject, content and material to suit each student’s learning style is both tedious and expensive, as this step has to be done for every year of schooling.

The proper approach to help the student is to teach him or her to be an “All Style” learner. An “All Style” learner can handle subjects, contents and materials presented in the “Audio Style”, “Visual Style”, or “Kinethetic Style”. There is no limit to the learning because regardless of how the subjects, contents and materials are presented, the student has the abilities to handle them (recognize, understand, relate, digest, rotate, evaluate, create, etc) in every form.

It is more economical to train the child to be an “All Style” learner with an important benefit that the child can learn anything and reach his or her full potential in their chosen career.

Teaching the student all the necessary learning abilities is the only proper form of educating the student for success in life as no one knows which industries are most needed and valued in future.
