Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) TExES Practice Exam

Which type of learners is BEST served by presenting information through a skit or dance?

1. Visual learners

2. Auditory learners

3. Kinesthetic/tactile learners

4. All types of learners

The correct answer is: Kinesthetic/tactile learners

Presenting information through a skit or dance is most effective for kinesthetic/tactile learners, who learn best when they can engage in physical activities. These learners benefit from hands-on experiences and often grasp concepts more fully when they can move their bodies and participate in the learning through action. Skits and dances incorporate movement, which can enhance understanding and retention for these learners, allowing them to connect emotionally and physically to the material being presented. While visual learners might appreciate the visual elements of a performance and auditory learners might benefit from the spoken dialogue or musical components, kinesthetic learners will derive the most significant benefit, as the active participation involved in a skit or dance caters specifically to their learning style. Although the option indicating all types of learners might seem appealing, activities centered on action and movement particularly resonate with those who thrive in experiential learning environments.
