Human beings generally receive and transmit communication signals through the sense organs. Every teacher should try to involve aa many of their children sense organs as possible in every teaching-learning process. This will enable the children to learn more effectively.
The gateway to Human communication are the main sense organs of sensation by which we get a message or communication signals from an external source. When we see,hear, touch (feel),taste,or smell an object, it means that we have received a sensation.
The sense organs then transmit the signals to the brain which analyses and interpret it. The process of analysing and interpreting the signals received by the brain is called perception. A correct perception leads to an effective communication.
The receptors or organs which received external communication signals are known as the gateway to Human communication. Some students or people in a class cannot learn properly because some of the gateways are either not functioning or are damaged and are therefore, malfunctioning. Such students need the assistance of specially trained teachers who can teach them properly with the relevant teaching devices. The gateways are the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin and muscles.
The following are the functions of the sense organs:
Eyes -sight,vision,to see or seeing
Ears -hearing, audition
Nose -smell, olfactory
Mouth and tongue -talk, taste
Body or skin -feeling, touch
Muscles (that is,motor organs)-kinesthetic (movement or locomotion).
The sense organs and their possible perceptions:
Eyes(sight):colours, shapes, movements
Ears (hearing):sound, loud,soft,echo,music
Nose(smell):sweet smell, rotten swell
Mouth and tongue (talk, taste ):shout,sweet, bitter, sour.
Body or skin (feeling):smooth, rough, hot,cold.
Muscles:(kinesthetic):energy, tension, push, throw,weight.
