LEARNING STYLE

I. OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to;

a. Show understanding in different learning style.

b. Identify the learning style they prefer that best suit them

c. Discuss how individuals preferred style of learning influences


learning delivery.

d. Differentiate Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence

II. UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTY WORDS

LEARNING STYLE – refers to the preferential manner in which knowledge is


consumed, interpreted, comprehended, and remembered by the student

VARK - The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and
Kinesthetic sensory modalities that are used for learning information.
Fleming and Mills (1992) suggested four modalities that seemed to reflect the
experiences of the students and teachers

EXISTENIAL - concerned with existence, especially human existence as


viewed in the theories of existentialism

KINESTHETIC - A kinesthetic-tactile learning style requires that you


manipulate or touch material to learn. Kinesthetic-tactile techniques are
used in combination with visual and/or auditory study techniques, producing
multi-sensory learning.

III. LEARNING CONTENT

A learning style refers to an individual’s method of making sense of new


material, commonly done through sight, touch and sound. Taste and smell,
although not as frequently used as the last three, can still be effective when
aiming to solidify ideas in our brain.
Learning style (sometimes called a “preference”), and we learn best
when information is presented to us in this style.
These learning styles are found within educational theorist Neil
Fleming’s VARK model of Student Learning. VARK is an acronym that refers to
the four types of learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing
Preference, and Kinesthetic.
The VARK model acknowledges that students have different
approaches to how they process information, referred to as “preferred
learning modes”.
Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing,
kinesthetic, learners, and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning
styles, will prove to be beneficial for your entire classroom. Keep in mind,
sometimes you may find that it’s a combination of all three sensory
modalities that may be the best option. Allowing students to access
information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their academic
confidence.

Fleming’s VARK Model

Visual- Visual learners prefer the use of images, maps, and graphic organizers
to access and understand new information.

Auditory- Auditory learners best understand new content through listening


and speaking in situations such as lectures and group discussions. Aural
learners use repetition as a study technique and benefit from the use of
mnemonic devices.

Read & Write - Students with a strong reading/writing preference learn best
through words. These students may present themselves as copious note
takers or avid readers, and are able to translate abstract concepts into words
and essays.

Kinesthetic- Students who are kinesthetic learners best understand


information through tactile representations of information. These students
are hands-on learners and learn best through figuring things out by hand (i.e.
understanding how a clock works by putting one together).

The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student
learns differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the
preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and
retains information. For example, when learning how to build a clock, some
students understand the process by following verbal instructions, while
others have to physically manipulate the clock themselves. This notion of
individualized learning styles has gained widespread recognition in education
theory and classroom management strategy. Individual learning styles
depend on cognitive, emotional and environmental factors, as well as one’s
prior experience. In other words: everyone’s different. It is important for
educators to understand the differences in their students’ learning styles, so
that they can implement best practice strategies into their daily activities,
curriculum and assessments. Many degree programs, specifically higher-level
ones like a doctorate of education, integrate different learning styles and
educational obstacles directly into program curriculum.

SWOT STRATEGIES
Referred to as SWOT (“Study Without Tears”), Flemings provides advice on
how students can use their learning modalities and skills to their advantage
when studying for an upcoming test or assignment.

Visual SWOT Strategies


 Utilize graphic organizers such as charts, graphs, and diagrams.
 Redraw your pages from memory.
 Replace important words with symbols or initials.
 Highlight important key terms in corresponding colors.

Aural SWOT Strategies


 Record your summarized notes and listen to them on tape.
 Talk it out. Have a discussion with others to expand upon your
understanding of a topic.
 Reread your notes and/or assignment out loud.
 Explain your notes to your peers/fellow “aural” learners.
Read/Write SWOT Strategies
 Write, write and rewrite your words and notes.
 Reword main ideas and principles to gain a deeper understanding.
 Organize diagrams, charts, and graphic organizers into statements.

Kinesthetic SWOT Strategies

 Use real life examples, applications and case studies in your summary
to help with abstract concepts.
 Redo lab experiments or projects.
 Utilize pictures and photographs that illustrate your idea.

Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence


Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects


and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of
timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union. Athletes,
dancers, surgeons, and crafts people exhibit well-developed bodily
kinesthetic intelligence.

Existential Intelligence

Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human


existence, such as the meaning of life, why we die, and how did we get here.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact


effectively with others. It involves effective verbal and nonverbal
communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to
the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple
perspectives. Teachers, social workers, actors, and politicians all exhibit
interpersonal intelligence. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are
leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to
understand others’ feelings and motives.

Intrapersonal Intelligence

Intrapersonal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and


one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and
directioning one’s life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an
appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition. It is evident in
psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers. These young adults may be
shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.

Linguistic Intelligence

Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use


language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Linguistic intelligence
allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-
linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language. Linguistic intelligence is the
most widely shared human competence and is evident in poets, novelists,
journalists, and effective public speakers. Young adults with this kind of
intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify,


consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical
operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use
abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and
deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in
mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical
intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are
drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

Musical Intelligence

Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre,


and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and
reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians,
vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective
connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical
intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this
kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are
usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.
Naturalist Intelligence

Naturalist intelligence designates the human ability to discriminate


among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of
the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of
value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues
to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much
of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be
mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and
the like.

Spatial Intelligence

Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. Core


capacities include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation,
graphic and artistic skills, and an active imagination. Sailors, pilots, sculptors,
painters, and architects all exhibit spatial intelligence. Young adults with this
kind of intelligence may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend
free time drawing or daydreaming.
