Kinesthetic Learners
November 4, 2009
I found this website http://www2.yk.psu.edu/learncenter/acskills/kinesthetic.html and i thought it was useful to realise a grounding in the term kinesthetic learning. I feel that this will give me a sufficient basis for my project.
Characteristics of Kinesthetic Learners
Kinesthetic learners learn best by moving their bodies, activating their large or small muscles as they learn. These are the “hands-on learners” or the “doers” who actually concentrate better and learn more easily when movement is involved. The following characteristics are often associated with kinesthetic learners.
1. Kinesthetic learners often wiggle, tap their feet, or move their legs when they sit.
2. Kinesthetic learners were often labeled “hyperactive” as children.
3. Because they learn through movement, kinesthetic learners often do well as performers: athletes, actors, or dancers.
4. Kinesthetic learners work well with their hands. They may be good at repairing work, sculpting, art, or working with various tools.
5. Kinesthetic learners are often well coordinated and have a strong sense of timing and body movement.
