- Modern education is becoming more dynamic and engaging. Not everyone learns the same; let us learn about Kinesthetic Learners.
Abigail is a 9th grade student at Hudson High School in Pasco county Florida.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I took a learning style test at high school. My strongest ones were musical, linguistic and visual. However over the years, starting college, I found that kinaesthetic learning became a stronger preference. I found classes where the teacher would just talk and we all had to sit down really hard and anxiety triggering. I’m at university now and I much enjoy the more hands on approach they have. I’m doing creative writing and drama by the way ☺️
Me too! Im in university now, and i am so anxious when my tutor tells me not to write notes and just listen..
Im a kinsthetic and I get in so much trouble and it sucks
Same here. While growing up, I couldn't keep still and I was sent to the principles office because I had to be moving to learn.
Hawaiian Cerveza It sounds like you're describing ADHD.
Not really!
Same
IKR SAME
I can totally relate.I knew I was like this but never knew the name for.I always ask tons of questions and had to be always physically do whatever task I had to do.
Great presentation i watched several videos and none of them brought clarity to my questions as much as you do
Some believe speaker should necessarily memorise the content. I think, why not accepting speaker to read from prepared notes if it is content that we are most interested? Personally, I feel to remember everything is too harsh for speakers as not everhbody is equipped with large volume of retained info without being "brainjacked"
Well...I'm gonna go nap now because I was not paying attention half way through aside from how am I gonna go to sleep when should I or should I go get ice cream while tinkering with my pen
This was great, I have been researching "tips on how to memorize things" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yiyevi Ponevi Approach - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
I learn from something if I do it wrong
My son said that he's a Kinesthetic learner because he needs to use the computer for all his subjects. Is that true? He also said that because he's touching the keyboard on the computer he learning kinaesthetically. Wouldn't a computer only use two senses? Visual and auditory. I'd like this clarified because I think my son is using this as a reason to go on the computer. It takes him 3 hours to compose 1/2 a page of work. I think he also gets distracted by going on other websites or playing games on the computer. He even gets distracted by spending time editing the fonts. How can this type of learned work better? My son is almost 15 years old and has ADHD and ODD.
Use the VARK Questionnaire to get an objective-ish assessment. However, I do agree that there is a kinesthetic component to using the computer. However from what you said (and my own experiences), the ADD is interfering with the benefits. I recommend that he learns to truly touch type and you have him turn off the screen (or cover it) while he writes a rough draft. then he can run a spell check and (perhaps, why not?) print it - then he'll have something physical that he can hold in his hands. He can make his corrections on the paper and type them back in.
dustyloup This is exactly what I asked my son to do. I asked him to write a rough draft in point form so he has an idea of what he will be typing on the computer. But he refuses to do this and he says that he takes too long to hand write. But it takes him even longer on the computer. He'll just stare at a blank screen or he'll waste time by editing the fonts. It's like he gets paralyzed on the computer.
We used to have a great device that he used called an "Alphasmart" it's a keyboard with a small led screen (like the numbers on a calculator) that would allow him to type and he'd only see a couple lines at a time as he typed. This was fine in elementary school, but now that he's in high school he needs to transmit his work electronically to the teacher. With the alphasmart he can only put the work on a USB stick and print it. It's very difficult when he does work on the computer. He doesn't ask for help and he'll stay up so late with very little work to show for his efforts. When I ask him when he'll be done, he says, in a minute. But a minute turns into half an hour. It's very frustrating.
I suppose you could recreate the Alphasmart by covering part of the screen and put it on airplane mode while he's writing. So he has research time (internet on) then writing time, internet's off, then more research time if he thinks of things that need to be researched while he writes, and so on. Perhaps you should look into an ADD coach.
helen: Just get him tested: I tested out at 35% auditory, 32%visual, and last about 32% kinesthetic. This means that I need all three, NOT just one style to learn. I get easily distracted if I do not engage all three styles!!! I need to hear it, I need to picture it and I need to do and try to teach it to grasp it. Typing and writing can be both "kinesthetic" big time, and visual as you see what you wrote..it helps you picture it, and by being on a computer typing you are actively engaging your mind. Computers are auditory when you hear videos, but most actual work on a computer is not listening like these videos.
She barely explained the kinesthetic style...too much reading.
Wrong. She's reading with her hands and roleplaying, you visual learner.
@@Football-oe4hl HAHAHAHAHA
this is an odd ted talk. super awkward when no one laughs at the jokes.
I think learning styles aren't entirely true.
Elaborate please
Yeah they are... I'm a kinesthetic learner and have always been better with hands on learning and my second preference is auditory. Look up the VARK questioner it goes over it in detail.
To some extent, I agree. In western culture, we constantly create space for these multiple styles of learning. There should be a time and place for these styles to be catered to. Teachers that are expected to teach to so many learning styles become more overwhelmed as time progress. Having taught in multiple places overseas, you rarely and I mean RARELY see schools catering to all of these learning styles! China for instance.. Need I say more?
They are true. We are hardwired in the brain differently and therefore process stuff differently.
@@travis-michaelcoleman1944 And then you get student who learn different to the conventional method being labelled as slow or not smart when in fact they may be smart but just learn stuff differently.
Txell!!
The fact that TEDx attached their name to this is depressing. There is no scientific evidence for "learning styles." No mystery here - just do some basic research. Might as well be a lecture on Bigfoot.
😑😑😑😑😑啥玩意儿啊演讲还拿着小卡片 能走点心把演讲词背下来么
So, if a teacher doesn't teach the way you want, they are a bad teacher. You need some education in diet and exorcise.
Food 😍😍😍
