: which learning style is best for teaching primary children using ICT and why? (VAK style)








Among the given learning styles, I think Audio visual is the best for teaching primary children using ICT because, audio visual stimulation can encourage them to engage with the project they are working on. And the screen casting enables primary school children to combine drawings, text, and images on the screen, in order to create a video of their progress. Moreover, If we are teaching difficult concept, we can always use animation and sound to make children understand the concept clearly.
Visual aids encourage the body movement and it may strengthen the content. Visual aids will encourage learning and make it easier and motivation. The use of visual aids in teaching and learning has multifarious values. For instance, if we are teaching the vegetables, we can use pictures as children will get chance to know the vegetables and the name. It will make learning fun where the concept will be also clear.
Coming to audio, we can use various sounds. If we are teaching sounds of animals, then we can use the different sound of animals where it is much easier for the students to understand. So if we use audio visual using ICT in teaching and learning, firstly the classroom will not be monotonous, secondly, the classroom will be fun and lively where every student will learn something. So I think every learning style is important to promote us as a teacher because we know that children learn differently and have different interest. We can use various learning style to foster their understanding of the subject and to meet the needs of the child. At the end I would recommend the entire teacher to implement the various teaching style so that learning will take place in every individual.

Example: Teaching vegetables to class PP using visual aids
