Learning Styles and Intelligences 1 Teaching Different Learning Styles and Intelligences Allison Bowman Walden University Diverse and Exceptional Learners in Elementary Classroom: EDUC 2401 Dr. Erik Naglee January 30, 2024
Learning Styles and Intelligences Teaching Different Learning Styles and Intelligences Part A Educator Ignacio Estrada once said, “If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way we learn.” Ms. Ramos did a great job of teaching her students the way that they learn best. Before learning about all of the different learning styles, I would have no idea how to tell how some children learn best. After this week’s learning, I was able to identify three of Ms. Ramos’s students and their learning styles. The first kid that I noticed was a young boy by the name of Joseph. In the video, Joseph was the first kid to go stand by Ms. Ramos to do the vocabulary motions. (6:47). While doing the motions, he moves his entire body, smiling, and overall enjoying the learning experience. I also noticed that Joseph stated that he would be doing the motions during the test that they would have. (8:26). Because of these observations, I was able to determine that Joseph is a kinesthetic learner. A kinesthetic learner is someone who learns best by moving and doing, as well as having trouble sitting still. (AbilityPath). The next student I noticed was a young girl. While doing their vocabulary motions, the young girl was able to finish and go through her motions before Ms. Ramos and the other students. (7:20). Because of her quickness to learn the motions, I would say that the young girl is also a kinesthetic learner. Another example that I observed of her being a kinesthetic learner was when another student was having trouble remembering the motion of a vocabulary word. You can see the same girl in the background doing the motion for the word. (17:12). 2
Learning Styles and Intelligences The last student that I observed was a young boy named Sergio. During circuit stations, I noticed Sergio asking Ms. Ramos to clarify the instructions for the specific station that they were at. I believe that he did this to better understand what he was supposed to be doing at the station. (10:39). I also observed that Sergio put his post-it on the “Don’t Know” section of the reflection board. He better understood what he didn’t know after Ms. Ramos verbally explained the answer to him. (16:21). Because of these observations, I would say that Sergio is an auditory learner. An auditory learner learns better through listening. Verbal directions may help clarify information for auditory learners, and too much noise could be very distracting. (AbilityPath). After observing the three children, I would say that they are all great learners and learn best by their learning styles. Ms. Ramos does a great job incorporating activities and discussions for all types of learners. Seeing all of the choices Ms. Ramos makes for her students will really help me when I have to make my own lesson plans in the future. I can’t wait to watch all of my students learn new things in the best way for them! 3
