Studies have shown that kinesthetic learning, also known as hands-on learning, is one of the most successful ways for students to retain information. Unlike traditional lectures, hands-on learning involves students actively participating in physical activities related to the subject matter. This approach allows them to gain a deeper understanding by "doing" and "engaging" with the material to solve problems or create something.
Hands-on learning is a participatory form of education where students actively engage with the subject material through physical activities. Teachers can incorporate hands-on activities into almost any subject. Here are a few examples:
Hands-on learning offers several advantages over traditional learning methods:
Whether you homeschool your child or supplement their classroom learning, incorporating hands-on activities into their curriculum can significantly improve their learning outcomes. Encourage them to share their knowledge through presentations, experiments, or even creating vision boards based on what they've learned.
Hands-on learning is a powerful teaching method that promotes a deeper understanding of subjects and fosters a love of learning. Here at The Thinking Kid, we actively encourage hands-on learning through breakout rooms, student presentations, and interactive class discussions.
