    1. Students expand their knowledge base from the surrounding environments, it involves school,teachers,peers,different kind pedagogies used etc.They also understand how to use their learnings in authentic and relevant real-world contexts. They can draw on their own cultural knowledge as well to come up with unique and personalised thoughts and opinions. Concrete evidence, facts and data, are combined with the exploration of cultural differences of others to further expand knowledge. This allows students to reflect on new concepts and open their minds to different approaches.

    3. Every child is indeed unique and their learning style is different too.
      As a teacher it is my duty to reach out to all types of children and cater to their learning needs. Engaging the student in conversation about the subject matter and asking for oral summaries of the material may be a good method for children who like to speak more. Whereas asking children to write their ideas or review the matter thought may be a good idea to try on children who do not like to speak much. Like this many different methods can be tried out in the class to reach out to every single child.

    Yes, it is true.
    Children, every child is is unique and their learning style too is different. They learn by doing with different situations around them through different methodology.Also they take different things differently and related to their pre-knowledge (culture and tradition) then they explore and come to certain conclusion with regard to the new concepts and then to reflect on the situations.So, this is how they take the thing and reflect or act then.

  3. In order to cater for the different needs of stustudents in the classroom. Teacher has to identify the caliber of the students first and then give the input accordingly .. High achievers may be given challenging assignments ,whereas low achievers must be given the content matter in capsule form and they need more counseling

  7. To address the needs of students, teachers should provide them with a variety of learning opportunities for effective learning, such as using diversified resources rather than focusing only on textbooks

  8. every child is unique and has his or her own temperament and learning style. The child brings this uniqueness into each new experience and takes an active role in the process of learning through their engagement in these experiences.
    Teachers utilize a variety of learning techniques and methods, called differentiation, to appeal to each student's learning style so that every individual can absorb, understand, and retain as much information as possible. The teacher should give equal opportunities to all the children in the classroom. She should be unbiased and try to involve all the kids equally.

  9. Yes every child is unique...As a teacher i have to reach out to all children and understand their learning needs.

  10. Students with unique learning styles need unique way of teaching.. Creating the environment and providing the way they like to learn

  11. One of the most accepted understandings of learning styles is that student learning styles fall into three categories: Visual Learners, Auditory Learners and Kinesthetic Learners. Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic, learners, and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles, will prove to be beneficial for your entire classroom.Keep in mind, sometimes you may find that it’s a combination of all three sensory modalities that may be the best option. Allowing students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their academic confidence. The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information. For example, when learning how to build a clock, some students understand the process by following verbal instructions, while others have to physically manipulate the clock themselves. This notion of individualized learning styles has gained widespread recognition in education theory and classroom management strategy. Individual learning styles depend on cognitive, emotional and environmental factors, as well as one’s prior experience. In other words: everyone’s different. It is important for educators to understand the differences in their students’ learning styles, so that they can implement best practice strategies into their daily activities, curriculum and assessments. Inquiry-based learning can make great use of technology through online research sites, social media, and the possibility for global connections with people outside of the community.

  12. All learners are different and need to be provided with a stimulating environment. Experiential learning should be encouraged abd learners should have an opportunity to choose.

  13. Every child is unique and has the ability to learn in its own pace and hence a child must be given conducive and healthy environment which will help in the development of children learning approaches. As a teacher one should encourage students for the active participation. Engaging the students in conversation, asking questions, reading the materials loud, reconstructing real situations or imaginary world such activities can help them in engaging and learning effectively with others.

  14. Yes it is true that every child is unique. In a class children come from diverse backgrounds. A teacher may be giving the same content to all the children ,but every child will take it in a different way depending upon the child's background ,exposure .So a teacher need to engage children in different activities and make the teaching more interactive so that child feels free to ask questions.

  17. The lesson plan should include topics and methods considering the Multiple Intelligence Theory by Howard Gardner.
    Experiential learning should be encouraged so that children will choose according to their ability. the Chalk and Duster method should give way to interactive sessions between teacher and students. The teacher should be more of facilitator rather than trainer or instructor.

  21. Yes, every child is unique. We can cater to various children in a class by observing their type of learning. There are 7 types of learners. We can plan different strategies of learning for these children.
    1) Visual and Spatial learners - We can make them sit in front, use various colors and cues to make them understand the concept.
    2) Auditory learners - We can record the concept for them, we can ask them to teach others
    3) Verbal learners. - We can talk about the concept, we can ask the children to share their experience, we can ask them to read and write the content.
    4) Kinaesthetic learners - we can allow movement during study, plan some activity, we should declutter the space around these children so that they can focus.
    5) Logical learners - We should try to explain the concept in some pattern form, grouping and classification can be included.
    6) Social learners. - Role playing can be given to them, collaborative learning can be planned.
    7) Solitary learners - We can provide them books, separate visual materials and should try to make them sit in a place away from distraction.

  23. Yes , every child is unique and every child learns at his/her own pace. By carefully observation of the child, the type of learning style can be adopted.
    We can adopt different learning strategies for them :
    1) Verbal Learners : Ask them about their experiences and giving some reading and speaking task.
    2) Logical /Mathematical learners : sequencing , grouping , reasoning
    3) Auditory Learners : Learn by hearing and listening. Loud reading and listening to the recordings can be used.
    4) Kinesthetic Learners : Activity planning can be done as per the concept.
    5) Visual & Spatial Learners : Explaining the concept by using different colours like in a traffic signal .
    6) Intrapersonal Learners : space can be provided them . Books can be provided to them.
    7) Interpersonal Learners : Providing learning in a collaborative environment. Learn through roleplay .

  25. I agree that each child is different and has a different ways of learning. The needs and learning capabilities of each child is different and they should be catered to as per the ability of the child. The differences can be learnt by carefully observing the child.

    Students expand their knowledge base from the surrounding environments, it involves school, teachers, peers, different kind pedagogies used etc. They also understand how to use their learnings in authentic and relevant real-world contexts. They can draw on their own cultural knowledge as well to come up with unique and personalised thoughts and opinions.

  26. Every child is different and has different strengths. They develop at different rates. It is normal if one child is little behind than the other. A teacher creates a learning goal and sets defined outcomes for her/his students.
    A variety of activities are created for each lesson. Students are made to work according to their interests and capabilities. They can even work in small groups where each one can showcase their talent. Different ways of evaluation help children perform better and this makes learning interesting.

  27. Yes , every child is unique and every child learns at his/her own pace. Every child has their own learning style and learning profile. By careful observation of the child, based on their learning profile the process, product and the content can be differentiated and the learning style can be adopted.
    We can adopt different learning strategies for them :
    1) Linguistic Learners : Ask them about their experiences give them opportunities to explore and express them in written, or oral form of communication.
    2) Logical /Mathematical learners : sequencing , grouping , reasoning
    3) Auditory Learners : Learn by hearing and listening. Loud reading and listening to the recordings can be used.
    4) Kinesthetic Learners : Activities involving physical movement, can be planned as per the concept. It can involve dance/drama/any other mode involving usage of their body postures, gestures and physical movement.
    5) Visual & Spatial Learners : Explaining the concept by using spatial awareness can be planned.
    6) Intrapersonal Learners : Space to express themselves, guidance and encouraging them to create self awareness.
    7) Interpersonal Learners : opportunities to have varied range of activities involving collaborative efforts and group dynamics and communication.

  35. Yes, I strongly feel that every child is unique and so is their learning style. Some children learn through playing also. Some children learn from the surrounding in which they live. Some are good observers thus they observe the things which occur around them. A detailed conversation with the children about the subject can also help the children in learning the subject matter. Children must be allowed to express their ideas and understandings on a particular topic. Different activity-oriented teaching will help the student to develop their learning skills. They will actively participate in class.

    It is an established fact that no two individuals think alike, similarly every individual has a different learning style and more so in the case of little children. Rate of developmental growth differs for each child. How they perceive, comprehend and analyse their surroundings also differs. Hence it is very essential that the learning experiences provided to children are well planned and offer a wide range of experiences to them. There should be different tools for learning which can consist of audio visual teaching aids, first hand experiences by offering them opportunities to touch, feel handle teaching learning materials which will cater to different learning styles and will help in producing the desired learning outcome.

  41. Every learner is important. We must tailor make each learners learning module. One size fits all does not work. For eg. if a child is weak in pronunciation, a regular drill with the audio, breaking up the pronunciation in small parts ,reading out loud ,will definitely help the child.

    Yes, I do believe that every child is unique and learn differently as the level of readiness to acquire learning depends on various factors.

    Firstly an educator must become a good learner then only he/she can cater for the needs of learners.

    By knowing each learners in depth about their social backgrounds, prerequisite knowledge ,health and wellness of the child various strategies , methodologies can be planned to cater to the need of individual child in the classroom.

    Various playway methods, modeling, excursions, ventures outside the class in nature, role modeling, enacting, group games, individual tasks like colourful open-ended worksheet can be planned to cater the needs of learners.

    Having interaction with parents and friends of a learners can be of immense help in bringing holistic development of child.

  71. Yes, I do beleive every child is unique and their learning style is unique. As teachers its our responsibility to make students create good environment for them to study.

The teacher should be a facilitator and observer and cater their needs.

  73. Yes, every child is unique and their learning style is different. A child has its own capability of learning, understanding and expressing. Some are good at speaking whereas some are good at expressing their thoughts by writing. To make the subject material effective, illustrative and to make the process of teaching and learning interesting a teacher need to reach out to every child by different innovative methods of learning. For children who are good at speaking a topic can be assigned from the lesson and can be given to explain and demonstrate in their own words and examples. For overall participation of each and every student, a teacher can conduct quizzes on the given subject material. Activities related to arts can be assigned to students who are creative, in order to bring out the little artist out of them. By adapting these unique learning styles a teacher can create a healthy environment for learning and growing with the new concepts. And both the students and teacher enjoy the process of learning.

  75. Yes. I do believe that every child is unique. Their learning styles too differ from each other. Children would like to explore more, if the learning environment is friendly. The child learn better only when the class room should be child friendly with different corners with children learning materials. For example, books (touch and feel, board books, picture books,story cards) for word smart children. Building Blocks with different shapes and colors to bring out the learning outcomes with self learning activities by children. Facilitator should know the learning styles of children like, auditory or visual or kinesthetic . Facilitator can do the formative assessment and assign small task by adding little challenges for all type of learners. Auditory learners will ask more questions to facilitator to learn more. Visual learners needs more colorful materials /books /puzzle boards/ clay/ Self learning materials should be in reach of child and it should be safe. So I believe self learning is best and it is unique for every child.
