Teaching Methods

Kinesthetic teaching method

Kinesthetic learners learn by doing. Kinesthetic learners will only be a small portion of a class. When you demonstrate a technique, a kinesthetic learner will tend to volunteer to be the one upon which you demonstrate the technique. During class, kinesthetic learners tend to ask, “May I do that?” They tend to mimic your movements as they watch you demonstrate. Kinesthetic learners tend to move around a lot, such as fidgeting; it helps them concentrate. Kinesthetic learners get bored quickly during the explanation of a technique, they want to do the technique, so be brief in your explanations. When answering a question from kinesthetic learners, perform what you are talking about on the students; the tactical feedback helps them learn.
