Learning Style Questionnaire and Multiple Intelligences Step One: Read statements 1 -36 on the LSQ. If the statement is true about YOU: Circle it. Step Two: Use the “Learning Style Grid” to record your scores. Place an X in the appropriate category for the items you circled. Step Three: Read through the Multiple Intelligences Inventory. Circle or highlight the statements that describe you. Complete the activity chart with your table mates.

What does the Learning Style Questionnaire reveal to you? Anything you didn’t already know? Why would it matter to a teacher? Specifically, how could he/she apply its findings in the classroom?

Learning Pyramid People Remember… Fill in the “What I think side of your learning pyramid using the terms below… 10% 20% 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 30% hearing and seeing reading saying while doing something that reinforces what they say 6. seeing 50% 70% 90%

Learning Styles Complete the Learning Styles note sheet based on the next seven slides.

Key Terms �Pedagogy is the art or science of being a teacher. � The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction �Learning Styles (according to Dr. Dunn): biologically and developmentally imposed set of personal characteristics that make the same teaching method effective for some learners and ineffective for others.

Populations Stats Which style is favored? �Visual: �Auditory: �Kinesthetic/tactile: 46% 19% 35% *Most people like a mixture

Why Learning Styles? learn �Change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words �Your preferred styles guide the way you choose �Learning style uses different parts of the brain �By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn

Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences �Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways. ”

�Visual (spatial). You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. �Aural (auditory-musical). You prefer using sound and music. �Verbal (linguistic). You prefer using words, both in speech and writing. �Physical (kinesthetic). You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch. �Logical (mathematical). You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. �Social (interpersonal). You prefer to learn in groups or with other people. � Solitary (intrapersonal). You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

According to this theory. . . � We are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. � Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains.

Global vs. So… what do you think you are? ! Let’s do a quick “inventory” Analytical ~Read annotate “GLOBAL & ANALYTIC APPROACHES TO TEACHING” ~Complete the “POINTS TO PONDER” with your table mates ~Complete the “Clues…” sheet with your table mates. ~Complete the “Are you a left brain or right brain” inventory sheet individually. Column A Column B Left Brain: Right Brain: • Logical • Analytical • Verbal • Creativity • Imagination • Intuition

Global vs. Analytical 1. TEAM UP! Globals, go sit with globals. Analyticals, go sit with analyticals. Choose a recorder to record your answers to the following questions. 2. What do you like in school? Dislike? 3. How can teachers accommodate you in the classroom? Alternative assessments?

Global vs. Analytical 1. Now switch. Go PARTNER w/ your opposite. 2. Design a “lesson” that appeals to both global and analytical learners. 3. Fill out the “learning plan” document
