Abstract

We are all familar with the five body senses : smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing. As educators we are convinced that if we increase the involvement of these senses we will facilitate learning. For example, one can learn a great deal more about the baking of bread if instead of only reading and talking about it, one actually mixes the ingredients, kneads the dough, watches it as it cooks, smells it as it bakes, and finally eats it. There is little doubt that active involvement of the body senses increases the quantity and quality of learning.
