A Survey Based Off Of Howard Gardner 's Mi Model Created By V. 3300, Msc And A

After completion of the test on myself I have discovered that I have a learning style of Logical – Mathematical, with a majority score of 37, closely followed by Interpersonal with a score of 32, (see Appendix 1).

Prior to this assignment, I believe that a person can have more than one learning style to obtain knowledge and apply it. I believe that Gardner’s multiple intelligences connect to different learning styles, such as visual, linguistic, bodily kinesthetic, etc. Personally, I believe I am a bodily kinesthetic learner and need hands-on experience to understand what is being taught. Moreover, these beliefs came from past experiences in my education along with past knowledge of learning styles in a couple of my previous courses.

notes, they will either write it in a different color or they will take detailed notes and go back and highlight the important factors. To help a visual learner organize information they sometimes use a Mind Map. A mind map guide is centered on the topic and includes branches for each related idea. Visual learners learn by seeing. When writing and drawing what they are visualizing, this helps them retain and better process the information being taught. An auditory learner is when a person learns by speaking and hearing. An auditory learner learns best through lectures. Unlike

After completing the VARK learning assessment I was informed my optimal learning style is a mix of primarily visual and secondarily kinesthetic learning. This mix comes from scoring considerably close in both of these categories. Visual learners often prefer to symbols and colors to display an idea while kinesthetic learners may prefer to learn through real world scenarios.

Fleming (2005) stated that people can be grouped into four styles of learning: (Gravells, 2012), Visual, Aural, Read / Write and Kinaesthetic (VARK), with Honey and Mumford (1992) suggesting that learners are a...

A kinesthetic learner learns best by moving their bodies to activate their large or small muscles as they learn. This definitely fits me to the T. I never sit still; my hand and mouth have to be constantly moving in order for me to focus and retain any information. It also explains why my first grade teacher sent me home with multiple letters stating that I needed to be put on Ritalin. But that’s not all. I also learned from

I choose to take the Multiple Intelligences Self-Assessment quiz. When I taught preschool and as the trainer for my department I have learned that there are many different methods in which people learn. I have learned to adapt how I teach and train based on what is required by the learner. Due to this I was curious to determine the variety of learning methods that work best for me. I discovered that I have a broad range of ways in which I learn best. I have always excelled at learning and find that I learn fairly quickly, so this is not surprising to me. What did surprise me was that my highest percentage was naturalistic. One question that I often ask is, “Why?” I enjoy having a knowledge of how things work and the ability to understand a variety of subjects, but did not realize how highly it impacted my learning. The few categories where I scored low were music and body kinesthetic. Neither of these surprise me much. When I work and am trying to concentrate I find that music and movement is very distracting. I have learned to eliminate them when focus and concentration is crucial. The rest of the categories I scored from 49% to 63%. I feel this explains my ability to learn a broad spectrum of things quickly no matter what the method of learning is. The two areas where I scored the highest were interpersonal and intrapersonal. This explains my drive for success, ability to gain insight into a variety of situations and people, my solid foundation in who I am and what

Learning is a unique process that differs from individuals due to the style in which they learn. Learning style refers to visual, kinesthetic, and auditory routes, which are the three perceptual pathways or modalities of learning (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p.155). The visual pathway involves sight, and how an individual benefits best through visual stimulation such as reading, pictures, movies, etc. (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155). A kinesthetic learner, which focuses on body, sensation, and motion, benefits most from hands-on activities that include field-trips, computer assisted instruction, or models (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155).

Kinesthetic learners are learners who learn by doing a task or some sort of direct involvement. They are often fidgety or find multiple reasons for movement and are not very attentive during audio or visual presentations. They like to try out new things, constantly be doing something or making gestures while speaking. Kinesthetic learners are often poor listeners, find success in physical activities and learn better when being able to move during learning. Concentration is greater achieved if movement can be incorporated into

Kinesthetic learners can benefit from putting on paper words and images by doing activities of touch and feel. The teacher in this video told the students to touch if they have a beard, long hair, touch your clothes. He also asked them to smell their clothes. The motion can help reinforce the material, that the teacher wants from them to learn. These students will remember and learn by doing this type of exercise in the classroom, because they like to know how thinks works.

Apart from learning style, a student’s personality will also affect their learning. A student with a quiet or shy disposition may not feel comfortable to participate or ask questions. A child in need of social skills may blurt out or not take the time to think things through; thus being unable to grasp the information in question. According to Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory, there are eight intelligences that affect the way we process information and therefore, the way we learn, (Smith, 2002 and 2008). The way each person learn affects every aspect of his or her life, specifically

In this style students use their bodies and senses of touch to learn about the world around them. Students with this learning style like sports and exercise, and other physical activities such as gardening or woodworking. They think out issues, ideas and problems while exercising.

As a kinesthetic learner, learning is based on physical activities instead of sitting and listening to lectures. Hands on method of learning are more efficient for a kinesthetic learner; they prefer to use their body and sense of touch in tackling a problem instead of reading through the instructions (Vark, 2014). Kinesthetic learners are also known as doers. They rather start doing an activity instead of thinking about initiating an action. They are usually very sensitive to their physical environment; they pay good attention to their physical environment and communicate with their body. Kinesthetic learners use hand gestures and body language as a form of communication. A kinesthetic learner

Visual: Name itself suggest that learn by watching . Many traditional classrooms use Visual learning concepts for children rather than oral where they understand the concept of subject and get their skills

Students are more positive about each other when they learn co-operatively than when they learn alone, competitively, or individualistically. Students are more effective interpersonally as a result of working together (Johnson and Johnson, 1984). My two lessons reflect good practice primarily because of the use of group work and the consideration of students’ differing learning styles. Good practice – Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner is an American psychologist who came up with the theory of Multiple Intelligences. Multiple Intelligences are different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability. Gardner proposes seven different intelligences: linguistic, logic-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal (http://www.infed.org/thinkers/gardner.htm). Seven kinds of intelligence allow seven ways to teach, rather than one. Teachers, therefore, should to attend to all intelligences. Students should have opportunities to work on tasks where their style of intelligence can be utilised best.
