What do we mean by types of cues, specifically in the learning process?
💡 Choosing the appropriate cues is essential in learning, as different cues may provide learners with different ways to understand and retain information. Individuals may have different preferences in cues that are relevant to their learning style. For example, you may have a visual learner who prefers to see information in an infographic manner! At Morphoses, we understand the importance of using different types of cues to engage learners and develop their soft skills.
Here are four primary types of cues:
🔊 Audio cues: Acoustic elements engage the sense of hearing, providing information through sound. Learners can experience spoken instructions, recordings, sound effects, and music. Incorporating auditory cues creates an engaging auditory experience that helps learners understand and interpret information effectively.
👀 Visual Cues: Visual cues captivate learners through visual stimuli, allowing them to observe and interpret information using their sense of sight. Examples involve images, videos, diagrams, graphs, animations, and visual prompts within activities. Visual cues promote observational skills, visual learning, and the interpretation of visual information, which is crucial for acquiring soft skills.
👐 Tactile Cues: Tactile cues stimulate the sense of touch, providing learners with physical sensations or objects to interact with. Examples of tactile cues involve hands-on activities, objects with different textures, arts and crafts with cutting and painting, or even building structures. Incorporating these cues creates a multi-sensory learning experience, increasing engagement and understanding.
🏃♀️ Kinesthetic Cues: Kinesthetic cues involve bodily movements and physical actions, enabling learners to engage in experiential learning through movement and participation. Some examples are interactive simulations, role-playing exercises, physical gestures, or body language demonstrations. Incorporating kinesthetic cues encourages active learning and embodied experiences in soft skill development.
At Morphoses, we recognize that learners have different preferences and respond to cues uniquely. Combining auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic cues creates a rich and immersive learning environment that caters to diverse learning styles.
