Student+Learning


 * Students learn in many functional ways, however to use the programme Microsoft Power Point can be an advantage for a higher understanding of learning on many levels. Pedagogy styles are in need of a stimulus to reach a level of "Mastery Learning" this is students learn by imitation (see and do), Manipulation (hands on practice) and Precision (practice of event) "Retrieved form:httpwww.eepoline.net/resources,( Sandy L Hunter, MAED, NREMTP.Professor, Eastern Kentucky Universtiy). **


 * By using the PowerPoint as a base learning tool a level of Mastery Learning can be performed by students seeing the lesson presented to them they are able to use the computer software to grasp the concept of a deeper understanding by completing the task in a more "hands on practice of approach". This then helps students to be more motivated within the classroom environment. The PowerPoint tool is regarded to be one of the best learning tools in the modern day classroom. Business Communication Quarterly, (2004) states some of the benefits of PowerPoint’s are: engaging and interacting with the audience, coordinating with other team members, enunciating clearly, showing enthusiasm, moving from one point to another, providing enough information but not too much and starting with attention and closing with action. The PowerPoint program helps children learn independently, this allows the students to think, feel and practice control of learning by practice of teaching oneself a lesson in their own personal way. Edward Thornike (1874-1949) stated in his research that "Learning is due to reaching a satisfying state of affairs", this supports the theory of children learning by their own focus of how they perceive their teaching environment. If they are able to seek and perform tasks independently students they have a deeper understanding of the content that is being presented to them. If students have a "desire to succeed will effect how they learn" (Hull 1884-1959) then the curriculum guidelines promote student learning by use of design, this supports a lesson provided by Microsoft Power Point.**
