ASSESSMENT 04
ACTIVITY 1
Learners may prefer one or more of several learning styles, and on this basis, we place
them in the following categories: auditory learners, visual learners and tactile learners.
1.1 Explain the following learning styles using your own understanding after reading
what literature says about them and give one example on how you are going to teach
learners with these different learning styles:
a. Tactile learners (5)
b. Auditory learners (5)
c. Visual learners (5)
1.2 Explain how you are going to ensure that environmental education is integrated as
a life-long learning process:
a. In the subject of your choice (5)
b. In your school (5)
c. In your community (5)

, Activity 1
1.1
a. Tactile Learners
Tactile learners, also known as kinesthetic learners, learn best through hands-on
experiences. They engage with the material by touching, manipulating, and interacting with
their environment. These learners prefer activities that involve movement and physical
activity, as this helps them to internalize and understand concepts more effectively. In
environmental education, tactile learners thrive in outdoor settings where they can physically
explore and engage with the natural world.
Example of Teaching Strategy:
To teach tactile learners about the concept of recycling, an educator might organize a
hands-on activity where students participate in sorting different types of waste into the
correct recycling bins. This could be done as part of a field trip to a recycling centre or as an
interactive classroom project. By physically handling the materials and participating in the
recycling process, tactile learners can better understand and remember the importance of
proper waste management.
b. Auditory Learners
Auditory learners prefer to learn through listening. They excel when information is presented
verbally, and they are often adept at remembering spoken instructions and discussions.
These learners pick up on the nuances of tone, pitch, and rhythm in speech, which helps
them to grasp the underlying meaning of the content being delivered. In environmental
education, auditory learners benefit from lectures, discussions, and storytelling.
Example of Teaching Strategy:
To engage auditory learners on the topic of climate change, an educator could use a
combination of podcasts, oral presentations, and group discussions. For instance, the
educator might play a podcast that features interviews with climate scientists discussing the
impacts of global warming. Afterwards, the class could engage in a lively discussion,
