Learning style
Leaning style was the most discussed of all the student characteristics. All of the participants
recognized the importance of catering to the visual learning style. As Debbie explained in her
interview, ―So I try to integrate the visual aspects as much as possible, because I learned as I Teachers’ use of visual representations in the science classroom

was going through teaching classes that the majority of uh pupils were visual learners and
definitely reinforced any kind of auditory stuff I was conveying in class.‖
Although they recognized other learning styles, many seemed to feel that incorporation
visuals was a much more tangible goal than incorporating tactile stimulus. Sue elaborated,
―Visualization is important, but along with that they have to have more tactile feedback with
the visualization. So you have to reach more than one…more than two senses. But after
auditory, visualization is the most doable.‖
