Multisensory Teaching In Early childhood education

1. Multisensory Approach in ECE

2. Multi-Sensory Approach “The effective use of various senses for receiving information from various sources is known as multi-sensory approach”. As a literal definition, multi-sensory, comes from two pieces of words . The two words are “multi” and “sensory”. “Multi” means “ more than one.” “sensory” “involves or is delivered from the senses.”

3. V AKT A Multi-Sensory approach, “also known as VAKT (visual, auditory, kinesthetic & tactile) Visual -seeing and perceiving through their eyes Auditory hearing and speaking through their ears Kinesthetic movement, and doing through body movements. Tactile -through touch

4. VISUAL LEARNER

5. Visual learner They learn by seeing words in printed form or by using graphics and picture s , ob s e r vi n g real life, and other visual aids.

6. AUDITORY LEARNERS

7. They learn reading by listening to someone present information orally and by being allowed to discuss and ask questions Auditory learner

8. TACTILE LEARNERS

9. Tactile learners Tactile learners learn through their sense of touch, such as using their hands and fingers. They learn best their writing , drawing, hand- on manipulative.

10. KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

11. kinesthetic learners Kinesthetic learners learn best through movement of their small or gross motor muscles. They take information best while moving and doing, being involved in projects, role playing, learning while standing up and engaging in real life activities.

12. Dales cone of experience In 1946 , Edger Dale introduced the cone of experience  The cone of experience is a pictorial device use to explain the interrelationship of the various types of audio-visual media, as well as their individual “positions” in the learning process.  The cone s utility in selecting instructional resources and activities is as practical today as when Dale created it.

13. Verbal symbols Principle medium of communication  Bear no physical resemblance to the objects or ideas for which they stand  May be a word for concretion, idea , scientific principle and formula  Disadvantages; highly abstract

14. V isual symbols Chalkboard/whiteboard, flat maps, diagrams, charts  Fits the tempo of presentation of idea, topic or situation  Very easy to procure and prepare Limitations: lack of ability to use the media size of individuals simplification of visual materials leads to misconceptions

15. Recordings, Radio, Still Pictures  Attention-getting, particularly projected views  Concretize verbal abstraction  Limitations: size of pictures or illustrations expensiveness of projected materials and equipment timing difficulties between radio shows and classroom lessons

16. Television And Motion Pictures A solution to time and space constraints  Provides “windows to the world”  Effective for presenting movement, continuity of ideas or events  Substitute for dangerous direct learning experiences limitations: Expensive Viewing problems Timing with classroom lessons Misconceptions about time, size and ideas

17. Exhib i ts  Present objects or processes otherwise impossible inside the classroom  Exposure to new ideas, discoveries, inventions  Problems that may be encountered: too little space t im e- co n su m ing maintenance

18. Demonstration Visualized explanation of an important fact or idea or process  May require nothing more than observation or students may be asked to do what has just been shown how to do  Disadvantages: ideas or processes might not be interpreted or conceived very well visibility to all learners

19. Field Trip Undertaken primarily for the purpose of experiencing something that cannot be uncounted within the classroom  A rich experience in learning about objects, systems, and situations  Disadvantages : time-consuming expensive high exposure to danger /accidents inadequacy of the community's resources

20. Dramatized Experiences Help get closer to certain realities that are no longer available at first hand  Stirring and attention getting  Participant learns to understand intimately the character he portrays  Teachers cooperative work  Disadvantages : time consuming without commensurate results participation is limited to few individuals

21. Contrived Experiences An “editing” of reality  Substitutes for confusing or unmanageable first-hand experiences  Easier to handle, manipulate or operate  Disadvantages: simplification leads to misconceptions, distorted views, and incomplete pictures of reality no freedom to handle expensive or fragile models, mock-up, specimens etc.

22. Direct, Purposeful Experiences  Unabridged version of life its self  Direct participation with responsibility  The basis for the most effective and lasting learning  Disadvantages: no all things can be learned through direct, first hand experiencing

23. Examples of Multi-Sensory Math Interlocking Blocks Tanagrams Singing the days of the week Singing the Months of the year

24. Multi-Sensory Learning in Science Performing experiments Writing down the steps Reporting the findings

25. How does this approach help students achieve more out of school Kids with learning and attention issues can have trouble learning through just reading or listening. Multisensory instruction can help kids learn information more effectively. All kids can benefit from multisensory instruction.

26. How can you incorporate this in your classroom? Stay away from just black and white papers – Sight Incorporating hearing tasks to identify an object – auditory Baking bread to discover yeast properties – taste Teaching about flowers, bring in pungent flowers for the students to smell – smell Get creative with your students – playdoh, paint, bubble wrap - to uch

27. Multisensory Learning This is a system that I back up I think that it is a great visual of how learning should be happening. It gives all students the chance to succeed.
