There are many theories about different learning styles. The document discusses Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences which suggests that people have different types of intelligences such as musical, bodily, nature, logical, linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and visual intelligences. Teachers can use knowledge of students' intelligences to plan lessons incorporating engaging activities like listening activities for music smart students, roleplay for body smart students, experiments for nature smart students, and group work for people smart students.
Learning styles and activities
- 1. Learning styles and activities There are many different theories about different learning styles. I prefer Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. He says that people are normally very intelligent in certain areas. Although they can have multiple intelligences, one or two are usually stronger than the rest. Teachers can use knowledge the intelligences of their students to plan and implement more engaging and productive lessons. Music Smart – listening activities Body Smart – roleplay activities Nautre Smart – discovery activities, experiments Logic Smart – statisitcal, analysis activities
- 2. Word Smart – reading, pattern activities People Smart – group work activities Self Smart – independent work activities Picture Smart – visual (movies, pictures) activities
