    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.
