1. For me, all senses that were mentioned are important in growth and development among children and adolescents. We acquired knowledge not just by seeing them but also hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling the presented stimuli to us that contribute to one's development. In short, all senses should be considered for the fact that stimulus are presented in so many ways and not only one sense can read or interpret that incitements.
ReplyDelete2. Students have different learning styles. Some might find learning easy when then visualize things while others find it easy when things are presented thru sounds. As a teacher you should know how to deal with different learning styles of your students so that you will have an effective teaching-learning process. To site an example, considering that the class have students with different learning styles like some of them are visual, some are more on audio while others are kinetics or those who learn when they are doing it personally, as a teacher you should know how to integrate all the techniques of teaching that will consider all those learning styles. You can have a video presentation that will satisfy those students who are audio-visual learners. And for those kinetics, you can have return demonstrations or activities if appropriate to the lesson so that they will clearly understand the presented lesson.
1. For me, all of the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell) are essential in growth and development of children and adolescent. Through the sense of sight, hearing, tasting, tasting and smelling; children and adolescents are able to obtain new knowledge and improve their existing abilities. Having this multitude sense enables children and adolescents to recognize and detect stimulus necessary for growth and development.
ReplyDelete2. During college days we were thought that humans have different learning styles which are auditory, visual, read-write and kinesthetic. As a professional teacher, we are expected to understand the different learning styles of our learners for us to come with our strategies that would suit best their capabilities.
Some learners are auditory meaning they would rather listen to the discussion. With this kind of learners, we can consider giving them write ups or reflection papers after the lectures they’ve heard.
Next type would be the visual learners or those learn best by looking at graphics or pictures and watching demonstration. With this, we should use visual aids or conduct demonstrations on our learning strategies.
Another type would be the read-write. Read-write learners are those who learn by silently reading or writing repeatedly what they have learned. With this, we may consider giving them memorizations and reading activities.
Last would be the kinesthetic learners or those who process learning through their experiences. With this type of learners, we can give them different activities like experimentations and field trips.

ReplyDelete1. I believe that all of the senses are important in growth and development of a child, we cannot separate one from another because during the development all of these develop at the same time, as one of the sense develop, it help the other sense to develop. Ex. Without the sense of hearing, our speech cannot fully develop because the sense of sight doesn't have a partner. One sense is not enough for a human to develop as a mature person.
ReplyDelete2. For auditory learners I will do more explanation in my discussion about. I will allow them to participate by reciting information out loud and maybe I can add or have music in the background in class.
For Visual learners I will add more pictures in my presentation while explaining them, put more videos, and graphics.
After discussing and integrating pictures, graphs and videos. I will have hands-on activities, let them write/draw and take down notes for the kinesthetic learners. In that way no learners will be sacrifice, because everybody is different.
In addition, while the students are learning they are also using their senses through the different activities that we render in the class. Through this we integrate the teaching/learning process in the development of children and adolescent in school
1. 1. All of the five senses are important in the growth and development of children and adolescent; they learn everything through the five senses, each of these senses gives children a chance to explore their knowledge. They will be using their eyes, hands, ears, nose, and mouth to gain knowledge of the world around them. During the first 3 years of life, children experience the external world through their senses. Through the senses the toddler’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language are developed. Before a child talks they are using emotional expression as their language to communicate. Developing each of the five senses is a step toward children learning other skills as they grow. Sensory experiences work to raise a child’s innate curiosity and they use the sensory skills of hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling and touching to receive information for their brains to process.
ReplyDelete2. 2. I will teach them how to use the five senses to learn about the world. First, the sense of touch, children can become more familiar with their sense of touch by playing with materials like homemade or store bought modeling clay, they learn about their bodies and how to communicate with others through touch. Most of the feeling that we do happens through our feet and our hands. Activities where children feel with their feet and hands help them to learn how to write, button their shirts, and tie their shoes. Second, the sense of sight, provide games that involve sight because sight games help children recognize words, patterns, objects and help them develop their memory. Third, the sense of taste, children can learn to identify foods by taste activity, giving children the words they need to describe different tastes such as sour, salty, sweet, fruity, etc. will help them understand the meaning of the words. Fourth is the sense of smell, teach children how to identify foods and other household items by smell. And lastly, the sense of hearing, children use their ears to take in information about things around them. Developing good listening habits helps children get important information from family members, teachers, friends, and among others.
1. Personally, I cannot imagine a full growth and development which lacks one/two of the five senses. For me all the five senses are important in order to have a holistic growth and development among children and adolescent. We cannot just disregard one aspect of the senses because we think it is less important. Growth and development in children and adolescent can be better attained if it is integral. Each of the five senses plays different roles in one’s life. They function according to the different needs and aspect of development. So if we only focus on one aspect and disregard the others then growth and development is one-sided or insufficient. It is our role as educators to use all the senses in our students so that they become balanced individuals and learning is better achieved.
ReplyDelete2. There are many ways which we can integrate all the five senses in teaching/learning process. The most common is the use of sight and hearing, or the combination of both, like the use of visual aids, such as pictures, and posters, or movies, and short videos or listening to music, poems, dramas, etc. It is also gaining popularity the use of materials which enables the students to use the sense of touch like clays, sands, dough, and even pets. Outdoor or outside school learning activities are opportunities where all the five senses will be utilized. The teacher’s creativity is vital in incorporating all the five senses in the teaching/learning process.
1. For me, all the senses are important because the stimulus that comes into contact with this senses are necessary in growth and development. Growth and development among children and adolescent is acquired using all the senses, most of the time by combining the sensation of one sense organ with another like smell and taste. This combination of sensations by the different sense organs gives the learner a more profound form of learning. Each of the senses has a particular function unique from the others and we cannot just consider a particular sense as important nor disregard another sense as unimportant. As an educator, we should help the learners explore a wider array of knowledge using most of the senses or all of the senses for learning if possible.
ReplyDelete2. To help the children achieve better learning, I will design lessons that will enhance the use of the different senses. First, lessons that will stimulate a particular sense then later on lessons that will stimulate a combination of senses or lessons that will use all their senses. For lessons that will use a particular sense like the sense of sight pictures will be a good stimulus, for hearing music will do, and textures of objects for tactile sense. For lessons that combine using two or more senses, food is a good combination of using the sense of sight, smell, and taste, and lessons using movies for the sense of sight and hearing. These lessons should be interactive so that children can have the full experience with their senses. Allowing the children to explore lessons not only inside the classroom but also having activities outside the classroom will give them a better utilization and understanding of their senses.
1. Each of the senses mentioned is important in growth among children and adolescent. Based on the cognitive theory of development of Jean Piaget, learning about the environment is a step-by-step process that, in order to achieve in each stage successfully, the sensory organs have to play a vital role.
ReplyDeletePiaget said that the first stage of the cognitive development theory emphasizes the importance of sensory organs---no wonder he called this the sensorimotor stage. We use our senses, and we move. Whatever we see, smell, hear, taste, touch---we have an immediate affinity with it, we are attached to it. Whatever it is that we sense, we move towards it---sensory and motor---a perfect fit to learn about the world.
That's why an infant needs to see colors, needs to hear the rattle, needs to smell mommy, or touch everything it sees---and even come to point of tasting, even the non-edibles.
And as we grow, the learning we acquired through the use of our senses tells us about the things in our environment. That is how our predecessors survive then. That is how we survive now.
Our sensory organs are our tools for survival---when we see, hear, smell, touch or sense danger, we act to preserve our existence. We don't see a blazing fire and whistle a happy tune. We run! We don't hear someone shouting, "There's a bomb" and approach it. We run! We don't feel the cold freezing water and enjoy the experience. We run! ---Out of the water. And we don't smell a pungent odor and relish the moment. We run! ---Ok, we cover our nose first, then, we run!
But our senses were not only designed to assure our survival. Our senses are structured to develop as individuals and substantially, master our environment. A child who sees things will draw. A child who hears sounds will sing. A child who senses the surroundings will lord over it.
And as the child progresses to adolescence, there will be refinement in the performance of tasks---although, again, requisite to that refinement is an ability to make use of the senses effectively as a child.
After all, the identity of the adolescent has been shaped by earlier sensory experiences. The personality of the adolescent is founded on what he saw, heard, tasted, smelled and felt in the environment when he was a child.
*ANSWER FOR NUMBER 2 IN NEXT POST
2. Learning about our environment requires the use of senses. And that is self-evident as I presented in the first answer. Hence, in order to develop children and adolescents, we have to maximize the use of their senses to facilitate their learning experience.
ReplyDeleteLetters are important. Words are important. Punctuation marks are important. But a picture is worth a thousand words.
Visual learners acquire the information quickly when they see the picture of a "man horrified by a snake" compared with the statements "There was a man. And the man is standing by the door. And we can see that as the man attempts to open the door, there's a snake crawling on the floor. Alas, the snake bares its fangs ready to sink its sharpened edges on the man's legs. And the man screams. We see that the man is terribly horrified by the sight, wide-eyed, jaw-dropped, profuse sweating on his forehead...and so forth, and so on."
The picture took a second for the student to react. The sentences will take more time---and attention---to absorb--and react--if, and if, the reader or the listener even gets past the middle of the story.
Auditory learners are no different. They would rather listen than see; listen than read. Reading for them may be a tedious process that exhausts their energies. It happens to me. It happens to us. Remember those times when we read a book, an article, a journal---then in the middle of it, we asked, "WHAT am I reading?" Solution? Teachers who talk.
Kinesthetic learners have a way with the world. They learn through actions. And, if I may wax nostalgic, I remember the song, "my toes, my knees, my shoulders, my head." It does make use of the body as a learning device. And if we remove the tune, it's still easier to learn the body parts with those actions.
Perhaps, we are all visual-auditory-kinesthetic learners in one way or another. And when we teach, we can make of purely visual, or auditory, or kinesthetic. And in our world of various selections, do a 2-in-1, combo learning style, or all-in-one---watching an educational video, engaging in field trips, and virtual learning environment that closely simulate actual skills.
Saying multimedia is the wave of the future is a fallacy. It is the here and now. And we as teachers are faced with the challenges---and opportunities---to recognize the learning styles of our students---and match those individual learning styles with corresponding teaching strategies.
And as we evaluate them, we let them write, read, sing, touch, smell and enjoy every moment of the learning experience.
1) I believe that all the 5 senses are important in growth development of a child. Children learn everything through the 5 senses. The 5 senses play's a different role and at the same time senses can be combine with another to help a child learn thoroughly. The 5 senses allows a child to fully learn and explore.
ReplyDelete2) As I learned in my other class, every individual learns in their own way, we all have different styles of learning. For example, as a student I learn the best way through visualize, with power points, graphs, or pictures to see. But other people might learn the best through just by hearing the lecturing. As a teacher you should be able to put all the 5 senses into your lessons. During lecture or activity it should all incorporate or one at a time. As a teacher we should know that your students learn in different ways, they are not all the same.
1. Which of the senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, & smell) are important in growth and development among children and adolescent? Explain.
ReplyDeleteAll senses are important in the growth and development of children and adolescent because not all things can be seen only, some are heard while some are smelt and so on. An absence of one sense makes the growth and development of children and adolescent incomplete. That is why blind, deaf and those with disability have limitations or insufficiency.
2. How will you integrate the senses (answer in number 1) in the teaching/learning process as you help develop children and adolescent in school?
The use of the five senses is the only way to learn since the five senses are the doorways to the brain. “There is nothing in the mind that has not been in some way through the senses.” All information must be heard, seen, smelt, touched and tasted. Without these, the brain will not be able to process anything. The brain will not analyze, synthesize, evaluate and so on any raw information for stored knowledge. For example, it is hard for a blind to understand or even distinguish colors since he or she cannot see. Likewise, it is impossible for a deaf to distinguish loud from soft sounds since he or she cannot hear. That is why the use of the five senses is important in the teaching-learning process.
1. I believe that all senses are necessary for the Growth and Development of a child. Based on our previous lectures we were made to understand that a person was born with no idea of what the world is awaiting for him. He learns to survive in this new world out side his mother's womb by learning the skills of survival where in all the five senses are necessary in order to understand and learn what survival is.
ReplyDelete2. All teachers should be able to understand and know the different senses as well as their functions. All of theses senses are necessary for a child to have a bigger idea of the world he is into. As a teacher, I would initially assess the subject matter that I need to discuss to my students and then formulate an activity that may use the various senses applicable. For instance, if i am teaching biology and would discuss the different systems of a human body. I would use a frog specimen for disection in order for my students to visualize what i am discussing. This will also be a venue for the students to use his other senses to observe the specimen, like touching the muscles and the rest of the organs of the frog which may be similar to human. In teaching students about the importance of our environment, I would be using my students sense of sight for them to see the effect of unclean air to the environment and human, I would need their sense of feeling to feel the abnormal temperature due to the effect of climate change, I would need their sense of hearing to make them imagine the automobiles producing carbon monoxide and their sense taste to taste the food harvested from a natural farm and farm that uses artificial fertilizers.
1. All the senses are important in growth and development among children and adolescent because these senses should be developed so that they can perceive the world effectively. They need to develop the five senses for them to integrate the external phenomena to the activities of the brain to make sense of the world. Defective senses will curtail our ability to learn because nothing in the mind with first passing to the senses. Our senses are the venues for us to perceive the world. They channel in sense perception that will soon be merged by our brain to make sense of the world.
ReplyDelete2. Teaching and learning process entails that we have to integrate the use of the five senses in our curriculum and teaching strategies. The more senses that the student will use, the student will learn better. As a teacher, one must make our instructional materials that will use the five senses. Edgar Dale constructed the Cone of Experience to emphasize the use of instructional materials that will be beneficials to students to use their five senses. The opportunity for a learner to use a variety or several senses (sight, smell, hearing, touching, movement) is considered in the cone. For him, direct and purposeful experience should be catered by educators as a criterion for their selection and usage of instructional materials. In an outcome-based curriculum, Filipinos are now gearing towards achieving the direct purposeful knowledge because the students will use their five senses through directly experiencing the lesson. They learn by doing so that they will learn effectively.
