Young students show great interest in solar energy and a genuine curiosity towards the operating mechanisms of a solar cell. This study reports on a methodology that reveals an effective approach in explaining the operation of solar cells to young students with very limited knowledge in solid-state physics. The methodology can be presented in the…

The research studied the perception of Deaf college students on the use of a multimodal approach in teaching literacy to them. The research used a case study design to present five Deaf college students who underwent multimodal intervention sessions. The study primarily used qualitative data, supported by quantitative data from instrument scores.…

Just Face It presents seven "faces" codified by Paul Ekman, Wallace Friesen and Joseph Hager, which can be linked through a kinesthetic process of association with vocabulary words that are frequently encountered on standardized college admission tests. The article is based on "Method for Facilitating Contextual Vocabulary…

The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of teachers who incorporate kinesthetic movement within their elementary classrooms. The need for kinesthetic movement or physical activity, within an educational setting, can be supported by existing theories such as the theory of multiple intelligences, cognitive load theory, and…

The primary grade levels traditionally consist of highly kinesthetic and tactile activities supporting learning and student engagement. During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers urgently transitioned these learning activities to virtual settings. However, research shows a need for more literature on primary teacher experiences and their move toward…

This study aims to examine the effects of Mind Sports (chess and mancala) and Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence Training on the aggression levels of students with mild intellectual disabilities. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 students with mild intellectual disabilities (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group)…

When instructing very large groups of students in science, it can be difficult to engage all students in the content and measure their understanding. A major unaddressed challenge in science instruction is how specifically to design and implement strategies that engender active learning particularly in high-enrollment undergraduate courses. Active…

The authors discuss how the kinesthetic, affective, and conceptual learning triggered through simulation can support future teachers in building empathy for refugees and immigrants.

This qualitative case study aimed to identify if high school vocational educators were able to teach a vocational trade effectively and progressively through an online learning platform during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since vocational educators teach most of their lessons through practical hands-on learning with direct supervision in their…

For years, educators have been using "foldables" as a visual and/or kinesthetic approach to note taking within elementary school classrooms. The purpose of the study is to determine to what extent these foldables have on students' self-efficacy of grade level math concepts. We previously found that there were learning gaps in students'…

I describe a kinesthetic activity about oxygen handling by hemoglobin with two specific goals: (1) to help students gain a better understanding of how hemoglobin properties affect oxygen delivery and (2) to improve the ability of the students to actually read the hemoglobin oxygen-binding curve. The activity makes understanding oxygen delivery…

School dropout is a topical theme in the educational field in the last decade. In the technical field especially, school dropouts currently have alarming rates. To reduce school dropout technical educational institutions, tried to apply some practical solutions like moving mathematics to the 2nd year of study, year tutors to assist/support…

As students learn physics, they are often required to reason about the behavior of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena, and to synthesize prior knowledge from several different areas of physics to construct understanding of new ideas. This can be a tremendously difficult cognitive task for novice students, especially when the unfamiliar…

Understanding how farmers prefer to learn is critical for the development and delivery of successful extension programming. Therefore, Michigan State University Extension specialists conducted an interactive hands-on demonstration workshop (Potato University) addressing pressing issues to Michigan potato production at the Michigan Winter Potato…

The ability for students to maintain attention to classroom instruction is a critical factor for learning because loss of instructional time due to off-task behaviour has negative impacts on academic achievement. Early studies suggest that use of kinesthetic equipment in place of traditional seating in classrooms can improve student on-task…
