This document provides an overview of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and how it can be applied to education. It discusses the two founders of NLP and how NLP studies human excellence. It then describes the three main learning styles - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic - and how understanding a student's preferred learning style can help improve their learning and memory. The document provides details on how to identify a student's learning style and tips teachers can use to help all students learn more effectively.

6. Understanding Our Representational Systems Our Representational Systems = Our Senses We rely on all our senses to receive information from the outside world :-  We tend to develop one sense more than others ;  We develop a preference for one type of learning style;  Our most developed pathway to the brain ; Our Learning Style t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

7. Understanding Our Representational Systems The Five Main Systems: * The Visual system: How we create our internal pictures, visualize, daydream, fantasize & imagine. * The Auditory system: Auditory thinking is often a mixture of words & other sounds * The Kinesthetic system: Made up of our internal & external feelings of touch and body awareness. The Emotions are also included. * The Olfactory system: Remembered & created Smells * The Gustatory system : Remembered & created Tastes t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

8. The Three Main Learning Styles V @Visual, A @Auditory & K @Kinesthetic * V isual learners: Learn by Seeing * A uditory Learners: Learn by Listening * K inesthetic Learners: Connecting what they learn to their sense of touch or their Feelings t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

11. Visual Learner * Receiving Information Seeing, using visual aids or watching live demonstrations Memorizes by pictures Less distracted by noise * Voice & Processing speed Chin is up, voice high, fastest * Learning Needs overall view and purpose and a vision for details; cautions until mentally clear * Recall ~ Remember what was seen * Body Language ~ Lots of movements and gestures * Breathing ~ High, shallow breathing in the top part of the chest t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

12. Auditory Learner * Receiving Information Hearing, speaking, reading aloud, discussing or processing thoughts aloud Easily distracted * Voice & Processing speed Melodious tone, resonant, at a medium pace * Learning Dialogues both internally and externally; tries alternative verbally first * Recall ~ Remember what was discussed or heard * Body Language ~ Head may be titled to the side in thought in the ‘telephone position’ * Breathing ~ Even breathing in the middle part of the chest cavity t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

13. Kinesthetic Learner * Receiving Information Feeling (physically or emotionally), sense of touch, use of hands and fingers Learns by doing * Voice & Processing speed Chins down, low and deeper tonality, often slow & soft, with many pauses * Learning Learns through manipulating and actual doing * Recall ~ Remember an overall impression of what was experienced * Body Language ~ Head down, relaxed muscle tone, may gesture to abdomen and midline * Breathing ~ Deeper breathing from the abdomen t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

14. Eye Movements V isual : Defocused, or up to the right or left A uditory: In the midline K inesthetic: Below the midline usually to the right t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

20. Students At Risk Auditory Learners * Easily distracted by sound (noise), “ Too Sensitive ” or “ Too Demanding ” on the tonality of teachers, having difficulties using their preferred system in school. t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

Step 2: Consciously decide to put what they learn into long term memory  to set a “program” in their unconscious mind. Step 3: To store what they have learned according to their preferred system.

A few things to think about when you are doing your best to commit what you learn to long term memory: 1) Remember that this will be the only time you can learn it 2) Trust that you can pass a test faster 3) Remember that you will have more free time to do other things 4) Remember that you will be able to use the information right away t RIOWISE CONSULTANT COPY RIGHT © 2008 – CK ONG

Kinesthetic Learners would experience or feel the sensations & feelings of the movie in their minds Step 4: Keep a memory active by retrieving it and using it.
