visual learner can't concentrate with a lot
of activity around him and will focus better
and learn faster in a quiet study
environment.
b. Kinesthetic - described as the students in
the classroom, who have problems sitting
still and who often bounce their legs while
tapping their fingers on the desks. They are
often referred to as hyperactive students
with concentration issues.
c. Auditory- a learner who has the ability to
remember speeches and lectures in detail

D. TEACHERS SELF-REFLECTION OF THE SESSION

When the session plan was first used, it was observed that peer observation and peer mentoring is a very effective
method because trainees learned faster when learning from those who just discovered how the skill is to be done. The
trainees discussed their experiences as they observe others. In the process they learned from each other.
More activities for self-discovery maybe planned for trainees ages 18 to 21 but they also need an experienced peer
because they tend to destroy more materials.
