Poster Title: Classroom Configuration Accommodations for Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning
Abstract:
Finding classroom configurations that accommodate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles are an essential aspect of effective student learning. If classroom furniture was configured in a way that would meet each student’s learning style, then teachers could be able to see advancements in student learning. If teachers were taught how to implement visual, auditory, and kinesthetic aspects into their curriculum, then students would learn right away in their most effective environment, rather than halfway through their academic career. Examples of classroom configurations that could be successful are whiteboard tables for kinesthetic learners or a quiet corner for auditory learners. The goals for the research are to identify what classroom configurations would help students learn the most effectively dependent on what learning style they favor, and how visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning can be applied to teaching curriculum for the best outcome in student success. The intended way to collect data for this research is to go to local schools around the area and observe their classroom configuration and how the curriculum being taught allows students to reach their greatest potential. The significance of these findings could allow teachers to understand what is needed to be implemented into curriculum for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Additionally, teachers could understand what classroom configurations allow for all of the learning styles to be used.
