Kinesthetic Approach
Learners with kinesthetics preferences learn through active movements and experiences. Activities such as playing, puppetry, drama, acting and designing ensures involvement of the learners. Thus, it is also important to manage the students during such activities.
Some effective strategies used to involve unmotivated students during activities are:
Motivate the students by giving attention and reward, avoid punishment.
Students should be provided with option to choose activities for learning a particular concept
Grades can be allotted depending on the participation by using score rubrics
Activities chosen should encourage all the students to succeed and feel that have accomplished learning through an activity
Every student has to be given equal opportunity to participate
Cooperative activities can be organized and positive feedback can be given to encourage teamwork in a class
Some effective strategies used to manage hyper motivated students are:
Encourage the students to organize body movement during activities
Regular monitoring of the students
Appropriate and accurate directions have to be given for any activity
Before involving the students in the activity, the consequences of the task going out of control has to be clearly explained.
