👁️👂✋ Core Definition
The strategy of teaching that employs all the senses at a time, the sight, hearing, movement, and touch, to make the processing of the information and the retention of the memory easier.
🧠 Neurological Basis
Simultaneously, the activation of various regions in the brain takes place which results in the formation of stronger neural pathways and connections that are capable of efficiently learning and consolidating the memory for a long time.
📚 VAKT Method
The combination of Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Tactile modalities is the method that is employed. Materials are shown to the students, heard by them, they are made to move and they can also touch materials so that understanding can be made comprehensively deeper.
🔍 Evidence-Based Benefits
Retention rates are reported to have increased, engagement has been intensified, and comprehension has been improved across all types of learners while the method is particularly effective for the ones who struggle with learning and those with learning differences.
🎯 Practical Applications
Among the practical applications are: hands-on experiments, and manipulatives, songs, and tracing letters, and combining visual aids with verbal explanations simultaneously.
♿ Inclusive Education
It is especially helpful for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and varied learning needs. It allows learners to cope with their own learning styles and cognitive processing through the provision of multiple entry points.
⚡ Enhanced Encoding
The brain's processing of the information through multiple senses generates the same memory traces therefore the chances of the recall getting increased. If one memory route becomes weak, the others are still open and accessible for retrieval.
