We have moved into a unit that is covering learning styles as well as the theory on multiple intelligence. There are 3 main learning styles:
Visual - take notes, sit in front, benefit from illustrations, find passive surroundings ideal
Auditory - sit where they can hear (not necessarily the front), hum or talk when bored, read aloud, remember by verbalizing lessons
Kinesthetic - need to be active and take frequent breaks, speak with hands, gestures, remember what was done but have trouble recalling what was said, rely on what they can experience or perform, appreciate physically expressed concern (pat on the back).
Benjamin Bloom has a taxonomy (set of classification principles or structure) of learning domains (categories) which can be used to help create teaching plans. The domains (categories) are defined as follows:
Cognitive domain (intellectual capability, knowledge)
Affective domain (feelings, emotions and behaviors, attitudes, feelings)
Psychomotor domain (manual and physical skills)
The theory by Howard Gardner on Multiple Intelligence says there are nine intelligences including:
Verbal-linguistic
Mathematical-logical
Musical
Visual-Spatial
Bodily-Kinesthetic
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal - self-aware
Naturalist
Existential-sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence
There are some books I would like to try and read. They are:
"The Disciplined Mind" by Howard Gardner
"Multiple Assessments for Multiple Intelligences" by Carolyn Chapman
