SUMMARY

This research is aimed at discovering how history students at CamEd, who are in their first semester, prefer to learn. This is a study of the three main senses (visual, auditory and kinaesthetic) used by learners and aims to find out which they rank as most important and therefore what classroom tasks would involve them most in the learning of history. The results are intended to inform the teacher as to how to enhance the learning and teaching environment inside and outside the history class. The interviews with students helped in producing ideas and checking the outcome of the questionnaire data.
