ABSTRACT:
Educational devices using process-oriented educational methods are disclosed to prepare pre-school children, school children, and teenagers for keyboarding. The devices include sets of gloves and indicia applied to the fingers of the gloves to provide pictorial and alphanumeric representations of the computer keyboard. The visual and tactile memorization of the glove images are complemented by auditory and associative memorization provided by a story-telling educational method. Synergistic use of the gloves in the context of supervised story-telling also trains the pre-school children to develop and practice both lateral and vertical thinking skills.sup.1-2, thus preparing them for coping creatively with the inherent hardware/software limitations of computers. The memorization of the alphanumeric representation of the computer keyboard is reinforced through synergistic use of the gloves in a variety of activities including learning the alphabet, learning word-spelling, and learning languages. To best fit the psychology of teenagers, sets of picture-rings and medallion-rings are disclosed to specifically prepare that age-group for keyboarding. A process-oriented method based on the aforementioned devices is disclosed to facilitate the self-expression of children and/or help towards a more healthy communication and healing (therapy). A process-oriented method based on the aforementioned devices is disclosed to assist in the learning of the alphabet and the numbers, and in the learning of languages and scientific disciplines (arithmetic, mathematics, physics, chemistry, medical sciences, etc.). The functionality of the aforementioned devices and the efficiency of the aforementioned educational methods are enhanced through a highly integrated device disclosed under the term "keygloves" in analogy with the term "keyboard", since the "keygloves" extends the power of the "keyboard" to the very hands of the learner/user.
