Visual and audio learning affect the way students process and remember information in the classroom. While some students learn best through visuals such as videos, images, and demonstrations, others understand information more clearly through listening, discussion, and sound. Different classroom environments and teaching methods can also impact attention, focus, and participation.
Research has shown that combining multiple forms of learning can help students better understand information. The use of visuals, audio, discussion, and interactive activities can create stronger connections for different types of learners. Teachers and students alike continue to explore how learning styles influence academic performance and classroom engagement.
In this episode, Roslyn High School Junior Lexi Penn examines how different students learn and process information in multiple ways. The style of learning and layout of the physical classroom cultivates an independent and curious student who seeks ownership of their education. By reflecting on her experiences in RHS’s podcasting and broadcasting classes, Lexi brings attention to a multimodal literacy framework. There isn’t just one way of learning and the setting itself allows you to be more free and functional. The podcast was created to explore why certain teaching styles work better for some students and to show that there is not one single “right” way to learn.
