QuadSeek is a holistic teaching method that can work in conjunction with any curriculum or board, and it abides by the saying – "the greatest gift one can make to a child is to learn, always and everywhere."
QuadSeek engages and develops the 4 key aspects of human personality: the physical, the vital [emotional], the intellect and the spiritual - and also allows the liberty to personalise learning for each child.
The pedagogy helps teachers create a learning environment centred on the child making learning a lot of fun for the children.
QuadSeek, thus aims to lay the foundation for a conscious, confident, sensitive and positively oriented individual, with a vast knowledge base and spiritual values required in a citizen.
QuadSeek acknowledges and identifies different types of learners, providing a systematic approach that enables teachers to give individual learning opportunities to each child in a class.
It even goes further and identifies the existence of a mix of all the four types in each child. Based on their personality, children prefer to learn different fields differently. Every QuadSeek Lesson Plan is tailored to accommodate the learning preferences of each child in a class of many, thereby giving attention to individual students and the class as a whole, in a more efficient and effective manner than conventional teaching methods.
The method also allows the teacher the opportunity to tackle important topics in a set of 3 to 4 children at a time, teaching them at a level and pace that they are comfortable with, providing students the aspects and luxury of private tutoring within a classroom.
Each aspect of QuadSeek teaching method has inherent values that are beyond borders.
In essaying to describe the learning behavior of each learner category, we have:
Physical Learners need:
- Seeing
- Hearing
- Touching
- Repetition
Emotional Learners need:
- Personal Involvement
- Empathy
- Imagination
- Experiencing
Intellectual Learners need:
- Anticipating
- Projecting
- Theorising
- Extrapolating
Spiritual Learners need:
- Assimilation
- Intuition
- Distancing from events
- Viewing problems as a whole
As every child has a fair mix of all aspects with one being dominant, every lesson plan created takes into account all the aspects.
Every Lesson Plan has:
- Activities that require some intellectual capacity; such as organizing the important points of a lesson / making revision charts / making mind maps / group tasks in organizing and managing academic, curricular, co-curricular activities within the classroom and for lessons taught.
- Activities that require an over-view such as understanding intra and inter field studies.
