AN EXAMPLE OF MULTISENSORY TEACHING IN THE SUBJECT SOCIETY IN THE 5th GRADE OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL IN SLOVENIA
Abstract
All of us who work with students (both younger and older) know that teaching is a demanding and responsible job. From the teacher it requires love and understanding of the students and the learning material, dedication to work and, finally, a vision from which he/she can draw energy in moments of weakness and uncertainty. An essential part of a teacher's development is lifelong learning, which takes place in various ways: through research, articles, books, contributions, and mutual exchange of opinions with experts from similar fields of work and activity. In the way, we spread our awareness of changes in society and are aware of the needs that the modern world demands from us and the future adults we are now teaching.
Teaching in the modern world cannot take place in a formal way, but it is necessary to understand the results of researches done in the field of human development, which suggests a different way of teaching with the aim of achieving the most optimal results.
The article is divided into four substantive parts: in the first part, I devote myself to the theoretical explanation of the modern way of teaching and why understanding changes is necessary. Then I will explain the importance of the mustisensory teaching method and define the learning types of students and their characteristics. This will be followed by an explanation of the importance of teacher preparation for the multisensory way of teaching. I will present an example of preparation for teaching in the subject society in the 5th grade of primary school, where I will describe my method of inclusion and consideration of the principle of multisensory. In the evaluation, I will summarize my opinion about the lesson and conclude my article by thinking about the positive sides of the mentioned teaching method.
