We remember:
10% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% when a demo is added to telling
70% through a group activity
90 % by doing the real thing and talking about it
As more visual components are added learning goes up. As experience is added recall soars.
The traditional education practice of telling suits fewer than one fourth of us.
The 3 learning modalities include visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
Sixty percent of learners have a strong preference for learning by seeing. Twenty five percent of us have a strong kinesthetic preference. We like to get our hand on it and do it. Fifteen percent of us prefer learning by listening
.
Question one: What is your strongest learning modality hearing, seeing it or doing it?
"Your role as a teacher is to find as many ways as possible for your learners to show you how smart they are."
Joyce A. Norris, ED.D From Teaching to Telling
Question two: What is your primary method of instruction?
Question three: Does your primary teaching method suit your learners needs?
Next a rub to add spice to your food.
Jalapeno Rub
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cumin powder
3/4 to 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon jalapeno powder
1. Combine above ingredients together.
2. Rub onto meat, chicken or fish 1 hour before grilling.
Enjoy the flavors.
I have used this rub on pork tenderloin, skirt steak, chicken and salmon.
It is great served with a mango salsa
I think all three are important, for me it all goes hand in hand at first. If I am doing the same job over and over then doing it is my best way, but to learn something new, well I would have to say listening and seeing...So for me it all depends where I am at in the process. I like to listen first and foremost, then I end result is doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Jalapeno Rub...I am going to have to try it over the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI took the learning style "tests" last semester and I am definitely a "blend", though I think seeing and doing are more impactful for me. I am not teaching now but I always used a number of techniques inside one class/facilitation session. One thing that I did become more attentive of was when we studied learning styles is how easy it is to accomodate the lesson to what our own style is without the consideration of others.
