Facilites
Teachers who embrace hands-on learning in science seem to recognize certain desirable outcomes and endorse student-centered instructional approaches. Research has confirmed many of the seemingly intuitive benefits of hands-on learning and has also documented a variety of unanticipated benefits.
But what effects of hands-on learning are seen by advocates as most important or valuable?
Teacher Responses
- Students in a hands-on science program will remember the material better, feel a sense of accomplishment when the task is completed, and be able to transfer that experience easier to other learning situations. When more than one method of learning is accessed as in hands-on learning, the information has a better chance of being stored in the memory for useful retrieval. Students who have difficulty in the learning arena for reasons of ESL barriers, auditory deficiencies, or behavioral interference can be found to be on task more often because they are part of the learning process and not just spectators.
- Justifying why I would use hands-on science is based on all the research and methods studies that are current. They support the notion of multi-faceted bombardment of information and experiences so that the retention level is improved. Students who are involved in labs and activities are empowered in their own learning process. Mary Wieser, French Prairie Middle School, Woodburn, OR
- The benefits of hands-on-learning in my school revolves around those children who are either not as academically “talented” or have not shown “interest” in school. This method tends to stimulate these type [of] students into participating and eventually absorbing information that I believe they would not get from “normal” show-me – tell-me Marv Hougland, seventh and eighth grade teacher, Clearview School, Lorain, OH
The single most important benefit to me is that although it requires a great deal of preparation time, once a system is developed, hands-on teaching makes teaching fun. If the kids are learning and having fun doing it, then I am having fun at my job, and I am a happier person overall
