Multiple intelligence theory and learning styles According to my multiple intelligence learning 'profile,' I am an equally strong kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and existential learner. This suggests I learn by doing, learn best working with others, and have a 'big picture' orientation. I seek what works in practice rather than theory. In my view, the fact that I received the same score in all three areas is indicative of the similarity between these different types of intelligences. For example, existential
Inquiry is an interactive way of learning. Students are actively engaged in their studies. Inquiry involves student-centered activities focusing on questioning, exploring, and posing explanations. The goal of inquiry is to introduce a new way of learning where students can learn about the world around them through active engagement in real-life examples. Inquiry based learning can be incorporated into all academic subjects throughout the curriculum. Science could possibly be the most effective
Multiple Intelligence and Learning Styles In a classroom, all students are unique in various different ways. They may be different through gender, race, socio-economic status, and so forth. They may also be different in how they learn information and how they think about information. Multiple Intelligence Theory was first introduced by Howard Gardner. Gardner believed that there are eight types of intelligence that people possess. Some people may be stronger in certain types of intelligence and weaker
Rice, Roy, Hudsptih, & Jenkins, 2009).The success and development of skills of an individual begins in school. Inquiry based learning is one approach that plays a critical role in the development in array of skills, knowledge, and concepts needed to become successful individuals and is not new to education. Inquiry based learning is not a new concept in education. Inquiry based learning can be traced back to educational theorists such as Dewey, Bruner, Postman, and Weingarten (Justice, Rice, Roy
Inquiry based learning * Inquiry-based instruction is a student-centered and teacher-guided instructional approach that engages students in investigating real world questions that they choose within a broad thematic framework. * Inquiry-Based instruction complements traditional instruction by providing a vehicle for extending and applying the learning of students in a way that connects with their interests within a broader thematic framework. Students acquire and analyze information, develop
The effect of applying multiple intelligences and learning styles are theories that have been discussed heatedly in educational circles. Firstly, I’m going to introduce two of the learning styles. Kolb’s learning style model has settled on four styles: Accommodators: risk-takers who like to involve and try new things; Convergers: problem-solvers who enjoy organizing and hands-on application; Assimilators: passionate readers who learn well with reading and concepts patiently; Divergers: reflective
To better understand mixed methods design and its role in my field, I chose to review “Implementation and Outcomes of Inquiry-based Learning in Mathematics Content Courses for Pre-service Teachers” by Laursen, Hassi, and Hough (2016). The following discussion provides the selection criteria, and an article summary, and evaluates the article based upon the 11 review criteria used in the Journal of Mixed Methods Research’s review process. The selection of this article relied on specific criteria
Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles In today’s society not everyone has heard of the theory of multiple intelligences however most people have heard of learning styles. Even in the education field, educators may not be able to correctly define both. Are multiple intelligences and learning styles two different names of the same thing? This paper will discuss their differences and similarities. According to Dunn, Denig, and Lovelace
THE EFFECT OF INQUIRY – BASED LEARNING ON PUPILS’ UNDERSTANDING STUDENT NUMBER: 9607807 THE EFFECT OF INQUIRY – BASED LEARNING ON PUPILS’ UNDERSTANDING Two of the three aims of the national curriculum for mathematics in England states that pupils should be able to: • reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language • solve problems by applying their
Theories addressing learning styles There are several different learning styles and theories about approaching them. Some students learn better through one or more of the learning styles than another. As Rita Dunn of St. John’s University says, “A students best “modality” for learning may be visual, auditory, or tactile, according to the speakers”(Walton,1991). An auditory learner may learn better through hearing material spoken. A visual learner learns better by reading instructions to himself
