Learning StylesandMultiple Intelligences

All of us have a preferred learning style or
modality. Does that mean we should stick to only
using our favorite learning style?

3
The answer is a resounding NO!

Students retain
10 of what they read.
20 of what they hear.
30 of what they see.
50 of what they see and hear.
70 of what they say.
90 of what they say and do.

Multi-sensory approaches work well because of the
way our brains are organized. When we learn,
information takes one path into our brains when
we use our eyes, another when we use our ears,
and yet another when we use our hands. By using
more than one sense, we bombard our brains with
the new information in multiple ways. As a
result, we learn better!!

5
The Three Main Learning Styles
Visual learners
Auditory Learners
Kinesthetic, Body, or Tactile Learners
6
Common Characteristics of Visual Learners
Can make movies in their minds of information
they are reading
See details
Prefer face-to-face meetings
Easily understand information presented in
charts, pictures, or diagrams
Pay close attention to body language
Have a keen awareness of aesthetics
Can easily recall printed information
Good with visual symbols
May forget names but remember faces
Are distracted by untidiness or movement
Comfortable with books and graphics
7
Auditory Learners tend to

Learn best by hearing
Have strong oral communication skills
Be talkers
Accurately remember details from lectures and
conversations
Hear tones, rhythms, and notes of music
Forget faces but remember names and what was
talked about
Sound out words
Memorize easily
Prefer verbal directions
Prefer the telephone
Become distracted by sounds or noises

8
Kinesthetic or tactile learners often
Are well coordinated
Learn best by using their hands
Learn best by doing
Are able to disassemble and reassemble things
Were labeled as hyperactive
Ignore directions and figure it out as they go
along
Jump right in and try activities
Prefer action stories and may not be keen readers
Write words down to see if they feel right
Gesture and use expressive movements

Suggestions for Visual Learners

Keep the study environment clutter free.
Highlight and write as you study. Use different
colors to select and organize.
Always write down what you need to remember.
Make recall cues as visual as possible with
capital letters, colors, and illustrations.

Make class notes visual with drawings, spacing,
symbols, and so forth.
Use charts and pictures to study.
Recall information by visualizing text pages,
notes, or study cards.
When solving problems, draw or illustrate the
problem and solution.

10
Suggestions for Auditory Learners

Have a quiet place to study.
Recite aloud as you study.
Attend all class lectures.
Tape record lectures in addition to taking notes,
and play them in your car.
Talk yourself through the steps of a problem.

Study in groups or with friends.
Talk to yourself describe diagrams or practice
answering test questions out loud.
Recite study cards into a tape recorder, and play
it back.
Recall information during exams by hearing
yourself recite in your head.

11
Suggestions for Kinesthetic Learners

Use as many of your senses as possible when you
study.
Move around when you study put study cards on
the floor, and recite them as you move around the
room.
Study small frequent chunks.
Use a timer to set study periods. Start with
short times and work up. Take a break when the
timer sounds.

Study with another kinesthetic person.
When solving problems, move around and manipulate
items to represent parts of the problem.
When taking tests, try to feel how you stored
information by remembering what you physically
did as you studied.

The Nine Multiple Intelligences

Musical/Rhythmic
Verbal/Linguistic
Logical/Mathematical
Visual/Spatial
Body/Kinesthetic/Tactile
Intrapersonal
Interpersonal
Naturalist
Existential

13
Verbal-Linguistic- The ability to use words and
language Logical-Mathematical- The capacity for
inductive and deductive thinking and reasoning,
as well as the use of numbers and the recognition
of abstract patterns Visual-Spatial- The
ability to visualize objects and spatial
dimensions and create internal images and
pictures
14
Body-Kinesthetic- The wisdom of the body and the
ability to control physical motion
Musical-Rhythmic- The ability to recognize
tonal patterns and sounds, as well as a
sensitivity to rhythms and beats
15
Interpersonal- The capacity for person-to-person
communications and relationships Intrapersonal-
The spiritual, inner states of being,
self-reflection, and awareness
16
Naturalist Intelligence excellent at recognizing
and classifying both the animal and plant
kingdoms, as well as showing understanding of
natural phenomena
