There are strategies you can develop and use
to be a
successful (kinesthetic) learner:
- Develop routines and habits for learning
Schedule when you study, what you study (begin with
easier subject matter to build confidence)
Simplify instructions down to basics, and build up from there
Practice and repeat basic elements to strengthen recall - Be directly engaged; move and act things out
Jump in and try things; learn by trial and error
Ask for real-life examples, or for an idea to be demonstrated if you don't understand
Seek out courses with labs and field trips
Ask your teacher for printed summaries lectures, or alternative methods to get the same information - Involve all of your senses in learning.
Use a hands-on approach constructing or modeling things
Use concrete objects as learning aids
Use your hands to explain things; your body to act things out - Be proactive in writing things down
Put examples in note summaries
Use pictures and photos to illustrate points
Talk about notes with another Kinesthetic person
Use community-based assignments in developing writing skills - Prepare yourself for exams:Write test
questions and compare with study mates or tutors
Write practice answers
Role-play the exam situation before the test
Ask if your accomplishment can be assessed through building a model, delivering a presentation, or some optional activity other than a standardized or written test
