Study Notes
Core Consideration: Individuality
- Individuality includes unique characteristics, experiences, social identities, interests, strengths, and preferences of each child within their family and community.
- Understanding individuality has implications for how each child develops and learns.
- Differences among children include their personalities, motivations, approaches to learning, knowledge, skills, and abilities related to their cultural experiences.
Learning Styles
Visual Learners
- Learn best when their sense of sight is engaged.
- Quickly show an affinity for books, bright colors, and clear diagrams.
- Can learn from videos, demonstrations, and classroom handouts.
- Remember information best when presented with pictures or graphics.
- Often recognize numbers and letters better than peers with another type of learning style.
Auditory Learners
- Learn best through their sense of hearing.
- Remember and understand new concepts better when explained out loud.
- Can even better retain knowledge when new ideas are paired with non-verbal sounds.
- Often love music and can remember the words to songs they hear.
- Can easily follow spoken directions.
Kinesthetic Learners
- Absorb information best through touch, movement, and motion.
- Need to touch, feel, and move things around to really understand something.
- Often say things like "Let me hold it" and love building model kits and interactive displays.
- May break things apart just to learn about them.
- Prefer modeling clay over pencils or paint and interactive books with textures.
Social vs. Solitary Learning Styles
Solitary Learners
- Are intrapersonal learners, preferring to work alone and use self-study.
- May not raise their hand to answer questions or fully participate in group activities.
- May enjoy playing alone in interest areas.
Social Learners
- Are interpersonal learners, preferring to learn in groups or with other people.
- Fully participate in group activities and are excited by them.
- May not enjoy one-on-one activities as much as solitary learners.
Multimodal Learning
- Uses more than one sense, increasing learning and retention.
- Is ideal for the preschool setting as it supports children making choices and solving problems.
- Examples of multimodal learning include learning activities that engage multiple senses simultaneously.
