From the author: for teachers, parents and those who work with children. School education for a child is mainly a process of perception and assimilation of information. Depending on the characteristics of perception and processing people's information can be divided into three categories: Visual - people who perceive most of the information through vision. Auditory - those who mainly receive information through the auditory canal. Kinesthetic - people who perceive most of the information through other senses (smell, touch and etc.) and with the help of movements. Why is it important to know how a student perceives information? · During the lesson, the teacher can present information to children using all channels of perception: vision, hearing, and the kinesthetic channel. Then each of them has a chance to assimilate at least part of these messages.· The development of many important skills depends on which channel the child is leading. For example, reading or writing. · The characteristics of mental work differ significantly (for example, the level of distractibility, the characteristics of memorization...). · If the teacher knows which category their student belongs to, it is easier for them to build a relationship with him. Much becomes clear: why problems with discipline arise, how to properly encourage a child or make comments to him, etc. How can we recognize a person’s leading channel for perceiving and processing information. If a child is in elementary school or middle school, conclusions are drawn mainly from observations. What do they pay attention to? Communication dictionary. · A visual person in his speech uses nouns, verbs, adjectives related mainly to vision (look, observe, picture , at first glance, transparent, bright, as you can see, etc.).· The auditory language is characterized by the use of words related to auditory perception (voice, listen, discuss, silent, silence, loud, euphonious, etc.). · The kinesthetic vocabulary mainly includes words that describe feelings or movements (grasp, soft, warm, touch, flexible, good smell, warmth, cozy, etc.). Direction of gaze. · For visual learners, when communicating, their gaze is directed mainly upward, · for auditory learners - along the midline, · for kinesthetic learners - downward. Peculiarities of attention. · It is generally difficult for a kinesthetic learner to concentrate his attention, and he can be distracted by anything; · an auditory learner is easily distracted by sounds; · a visual learner is hardly bothered by noise. Peculiarities of memorization. · Visual remembers what he saw, remembers with pictures. · Auditory - what he discussed; remembers by listening. · A kinesthetic person remembers the general impression. Remembers by moving. And how many opportunities teachers and parents have to observe different types of students in their daily activities! For example, see who writes down their homework. Let's say it is written on the blackboard. · Visual: obediently open the diary and write down, or rather, copy from the board, what is assigned for homework. He prefers to have the information he needs than to ask others. He will easily perceive it written down on the board. · Auditory: if he wants to write down his homework at school, he will most likely ask his neighbor at his desk what was assigned. From hearing, he will write down this information in his diary. At home, he can “get on the phone” and find out what is assigned from his classmates.· Kinesthetic: most often he rummages through his briefcase for a long time, takes out textbooks from there, finds the necessary pages and circles the numbers of the necessary exercises right in the textbooks. Much will be gained from observing behavior of children during recess. · Visual: most often remains in the classroom if the majority of students leave it. For him, the main thing is the opportunity to calmly plunge into his visual images. But he may be disturbed by noisy dialogues of auditory learners or active games of kinesthetic learners. Then he will prefer to go out into the corridor, where he will watch other children or look at information on.
