Chapter 8: Teaching to all the Students.
This chapter explores the use of multisensory techniques in
order to help students’ learning and also instructors improve their teachings by following these techniques.
The opening of chapter demonstrates how much sugar we consume while drinking Coca-Cola. It is 15 teaspoons while a Burger King Whopper hamburger contains 40 grams of fat. It is vital for our students to have a healthy diet which will help them boost their memory (Medina, 2008).
Research finding shows that the most important thing that can help a student improve learning is by doing exercise (Rately, 2008). Another study that compared the recall of information using unisensory
methods showed that 50% of students were able to recall that information when they hear and see that information (Dale, 1969) while 85% of the students were correct when they were able to see and touch. This proves that 50% of the students were able to identify the creativity of the problem when they use more than one sensory method to recall the information (Mayer & Anderson, 1992).
The use of multimedia in learning is even more appropriate. The reason is that, it is easier to follow especially for those students without a background of the multimedia or who have less spatial abilities (Mayer & Gallini, 1991). An example is by using computer games to promote learning.
This chapter concludes by explaining about planning. In simple words it means thinking before doing. In learner – centered teaching, planning is very crucial to enable students enhance the learning process.
