A Study on Identification of Auditory, Visual, and Kinaesthetic Learning Essentials for Adolescents Studying in Government Schools at Dakshina Kannada District

Abstract

The traditional method of teaching approach in Indian schools is basically a threat for flexible
learning where students are given importance based on their learning preferences. Students are
not encouraged for maximized learning through their different learning style when teachers in
classroom use the only chalk-talk method of teaching approach. The main objective of this study
is to identify the learning essentials of the adolescents, which helps the teachers to create positive
interest among students in learning &classroom behaviour and improve their comprehension in
day to day learning. In Indian schools some are auditory learners, some visual and some are
kinaesthetic learners, but majority of the students learn better throughmulti-dimensional teaching
approach which includes Audio, Visual and Kinaesthetic teaching approach. But due to the use
of the traditional method of teaching in Indian schools the students are unable to perform better
in their academics. The family, peer group as well as the school environment is also causing
several emotional and psychological problems among these adolescents which is also a cause
behind their learning interest.Hereby, we can come to the conclusion that the students are
deferent in learning. But there is a severe need to identify the learning essentials of adolescents
to explore the new model in classroom teaching to encourage them towards learning and
maximize their academic performance.Secondary data method is used and the study is
descriptive in nature.
