Understanding Learning Styles For The Smart Child

The ability of every child to understand and absorb the lessons it is definitely a different level. There is a fast, medium and some are very slow. Therefore, they often have to travel a different way to understand the information or the same lesson.
Some students prefer learning by reading from the teacher writing on the blackboard. But, some other students prefer to receive course materials by teachers to do it verbally, and they listen to can understand it. Meanwhile, not a few students who have studied the model by placing the teachers were like a speaker. Teachers are expected to talk at length about the various theories with a lot of illustrations, while the students listened as she described the contents of the lecture in a form that only they understand themselves.
Whatever way you choose, learning style indicates a mechanism for individuals to absorb information from outside itself. Therefore, if we can understand the different learning styles of each child and provide learning materials that match their learning style would provide optimal results for themselves.
In the book Quantum teaching, there are several types of learning styles. First, the Visual Learning Style. This learning style is characterized should first look at new evidence could trust.
Characteristic of visual learning styles: the first is the need to see something (information / lessons) visually, the two regularly, pay attention to everything and keep up appearances, the three easy to remember if the picture, and would rather read than be read.
The approach can be used so that children can receive the information / materials in an optimal learning: the first is to use various forms of graphics to convey information or subject matter. Graphical tools that can be a film, slides, illustrations, graffiti, graffiti, picture cards, notes and cards radiant images that can be used to describe a sequence of information.
The second learning style is auditory learning style or learning style that relies on hearing to be able to understand and remember. Characteristics of learning models like this really puts hearing as the primary means of absorbing information or knowledge. That is, children should hear, then they can remember and understand the information it receives. Another character for the children of this type: easy to split his attention, and if you learn by moving the lips / voice while reading.
The approach can be done if the child has learning difficulties as above: first, using a tape recorder as a tool. This tool is used to record the readings or lecture notes or teacher read to the class to then be heard again. And the second is to interview or engage in group discussions. Medium third approach is to try to read the information, and then summarized in the form of spoken and recorded for later heard and understood. The final step is to conduct a review verbally with a friend or teacher.
Other learning styles are also unique is called kinesthetic learning styles that must be touching something that gives specific information to be able to remember it. Of course, there are some characteristics of learning styles like this that not all children can do it. The first is to receive the information / lessons in how to touch, stand close together and a lot of moves. Being second, while reading, pointing to the writing. The third character is a child can not / stand sitting for too long to listen to the lesson. Fourth, children can learn to feel better when walking.
For children who have the characteristics as above, learning approaches that might be done is to learn on or through the experience by using different models or displays, working in laboratories or play while learning. Another way that also can be used is constantly making a pause in the middle of a class. Not infrequently, people who tend to have a kinesthetic character will also be easier to absorb and understand information by tracing a picture or word to learn to pronounce it or understand the facts.
The use of computers for children who have a kinesthetic character will be very helpful. Because, with the computer it could be actively involved in doing touch, as well as absorb the information in the form of drawings and writings. In addition, in order to learn to be effective and meaningful, children with characters above are advised to test the memory memory by looking straight facts on the ground.
