The article reveals the possibilities of using the kinesthetic learning style as one of the most effective among active styles of mastering new information. Accordingly, the goal is to justify the need for teachers to use the kinesthetic style in general secondary education institutions to improve the quality of education and the successful realization of the teacher as a professional. A set of scientific methods was used to explore the topic: theoretical methods – analysis and comparison to study the state of the problem under investigation, clarification of the essence of basic concepts, and determination of the structure of the readiness of teachers in general and secondary education institutions to apply the kinesthetic teaching style in history, and civic education classes; generalization and systematization to substantiate the criteria, indicators, and levels of readiness of history, law, and civic education teachers; synthesis and concretization to substantiate the content and methodological support for training future teachers to apply the kinesthetic teaching style in history and civic education classes; among other things, empirical research methods were also used. This made it possible to conclude that, by using the advantages of kinesthetic learning, teachers can create effective and inclusive learning environments that meet the diverse needs and preferences of their students; the use of modern approaches and teaching styles, in particular the kinesthetic style, by teachers in general secondary education institutions contributes to improving the quality of student education and the successful realization of teachers as professionals.
