Report
Learning Profiles The students were analyzed informally using Multiple Intelligence checklist to find out my two students learning profiles, since much of the items in the categories were too high for a first grade student to understand. I filled this inventory out based on knowledge of my students and what I observe in both of them. I observed both K.D. (African American female) and I.L. (Hispanic male). According to the results using the checklist, both K.D. and I.L. had differences in their strongest intelligence category, with K.D. scoring highest in Interpersonal Intelligence and I.L. scoring highest in Intrapersonal Intelligence. K.D. is more of an outgoing talkative student that enjoys interacting/socializing with the other students and being a leader in the classroom. I.L. is quieter and prefers to work alone rather than with a partner or group. These results from the checklist show that these two students think and learn very differently from each other. One student is more in tune with others (K.D.) and the other student is more in tune with himself (I.L). K.D. and I.L.’s next highest intelligence was Linguistic Intelligence, both students scored the same score and had the same items checked off. This was not done on purpose because I scored both students on their own individual checklist. This made the results for the second highest intelligence very interesting because both students have a rather high intelligence compared to the other 18 students in my classroom. They both have excellent memory, enjoy word games, enjoy reading books, enjoy listening to stories, communicate to others in a highly verbal way and use higher vocabulary. Both of these students are actually get pulled for Scholastic Academy daily to work on enrichment type
of activities and learning because of their high intelligence. Therefore, I am not as surprised that they both scored second highest in Linguistic Intelligence. The third highest intelligence they also scored the same, and I believe this one also has to do with the characteristics they have for being gifted, which is Logical- Mathematical Intelligence. Both students are curious about how or why something is the way it is, both enjoy math class and computing numbers quickly, both enjoy playing math computer games and working on puzzles and brainteasers, and both think on a different abstract/conceptual level as compared to their peers. Many of these contribute to entry into the Scholastic Academy, which leads to being tested for gifted. These are just 2 of the 3 students that participate in the Scholastic Academy from out of my whole class of 20 students. It really makes me wonder how I am accommodating these accelerated students according to their intelligences as compared to my remaining 17 students that are not in the program and are each on different levels of readiness in all content areas.
