6. How has Mr. Gonzalez significantly increased the cognitive level at which his students are working

Mr Gonzalez has significantly raised the cognitive level at which his students are working by the use of the following techniques:

Explanation:

Many of the techniques Mr Gonzalez used are visual and auditory.

Music appeals to our hearing whilst whiteboard and marker pads are Visual.

Some students are aural (Music/Auditory), others are visual (spatially inclined), some are kinesthetic (physical). Other types of learning inclinations are:

Logical learners, solitary learners, social learners.

By writing the words and explaining the meaning, Mr Gonzalez was also reaching out to those where are logical.

Thus by using a wide range of teaching techniques (Aural, Logical, Logical) Mr Gonzalez increased the rate of perception and assimilation of his students.
