  1. Chapter 4 Learning Styles Personality assessment

  2. Sabiduria • Two sides of learning • Knowledge • Wisdom

  3. Your brain • Brain function contributes to learning

  4. The brain & learning • 3 lbs • Control center • Think • Feel • Act • Where learning takes place

  5. Hardworking brain • Involuntary functions • Balance • Voluntary actions • Emotional reactions • Reasoning & thinking • Interpret senses

  6. Brain Zones • The brain stem • Connects brain to spinal cord • Control basic functions • Cerebellum • Balance & coordination • Cerebrum • High-level functioning • Voluntary movements

  7. The Cerebrum – A house divided • 2 hemispheres • Left • Language • Logic • Right side of the body • Right • Art & music • Imagination • Non-verbal • Left side of the body

  8. On a cellular level • Functional unit of the brain • Neuron • Receive and send messages • Nerve impulse travels 200 miles an hour

  9. Making connections • Learn  connections between neurons • Learn  FASTER

  10. Keep your brain healthy • Diet impacts brain performance

  11. Learning Styles • “a particular way in which the mind receives and processes information”

  12. How can you discover your learning style? • http://learning-styles-online.com/inventory/#online • Pg 116 of your text book

  13. What is the value of learning style assessments? • Maximize strengths • Compensate for weaknesses • ID’s • Best way to study • Manage time • Remember material • General guide

  14. How do I put assessment results in perspective? • Remember – snapshot • No right answers • Try different approaches  • analyze results • Multiple pathways

  15. Multiple Intelligence Pathways • Howard Gardner

  16. Multiple Intelligence Pathways • Verbal-Linguistic • Logical-Mathematical • Bodily-Kinesthetic • Visual-Spatial • Interpersonal • Intrapersonal • Musical • Naturalistic

  17. Verbal - Linguistic • Ability to communicate through language (listening, reading, writing, speaking)

  18. Logical-mathematical • Ability to understand logical reasoning and problem solving (math, science, patterns sequences)

  19. Bodily-Kinesthetic • Ability to use the physical body skillfully and to take in knowledge through bodily sensation (coordination, working with hands)

  20. Visual-Spatial • Ability to understand spatial relationships and to perceive and create images (visual arts, graphic design, charts and maps)

  21. Interpersonal • Ability to relate to others, noticing their moods, motivations and feelings (social activity, cooperative learning, teamwork)

  22. Intrapersonal • Ability to understand one’s own behavior and feelings

  23. Musical • Ability to comprehend and create meaningful sound and recognize patterns (music, sensitivity to sound and patterns)

  24. Naturalistic • Ability to identify, distinguish, categorize and classify species or items, often incorporating high interest in elements of the natural environment

  25. Who do you think you are? • Verbal-linguistic • Logical-mathematical • Bodily-Kinesthetic • Visual-spatial • None of these

  26. Who do you think you are? • Interpersonal • Intrapersonal • Musical • Naturalistic • None of these

  27. Take & Score the Assessment TestPage 115-116

  28. Verbal - Linguistic SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Read text; highlight no more than 10% Rewrite notes Outline chapters Teach someone else Recite information or write scripts / debates • Analyzing own use of language • Remembering terms easily • Explaining, teaching, learning using humor • Understanding syntax and work meaning • Convincing someone to do something

  29. Logical-mathematical SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Organize material logically Explain material sequentially to someone Develop systems and find patterns Write outlines and develop charts and graphs Analyze information • Recognizing abstract patterns • Reasoning inductive and deductively • Discerning relationships & connections • Performing complex calculations • Reasoning scientifically

  30. Bodily-Kinesthetic SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Move or rap while you learn; pace and recite Use “method of loci” or manipulative Move fingers under words while reading Create “living sculptures” Act out scripts of material, design games • Connecting mind and body • Controlling movement • Improving body functions • Expanding body awareness to all senses • Coordinating body movement

  31. Visual-Spacial SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Develop graphic organizers for new material Draw mind maps Develop charts and graphs Use color in notes to organize Visualize material (method of loci) • Perceiving and forming objects accurately • Recognizing relationships between objects • Representing something graphically • Manipulating images • Finding one’s way in space

  32. Interpersonal SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Study in a group Discuss information Use flash cards with others Teach someone else • Seeing things from other’s perspectives • Cooperating within a group • Communicating verbally and nonverbally • Creating and maintaining relationships

  33. Intrapersonal SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Reflect on personal meaning of information Visualize information / keep a journal Study in quiet settings Imagine experiments • Evaluating own thinking • Being aware of and expressing feelings • Understanding self in relation to others • Thinking and reasoning on higher levels

  35. Naturalistic SKILLS STUDY TECHNIQUES Break down information into categories Look for relationships among ideas, events facts • Ability to categorize something as a member of a group or species • Ability to distinguish items in a group from one another

  36. Other learning variables Scope of thought

  37. Scope of thought Global Learner Detail learner “Learn in logical patterns” “Like strict outlines” Summarize notes with bulleted points Draw diagrams to relate small pieces of into to larger themes Make to-do lists for self Write questions down during class Think of examples to illustrate details • “See the big picture” • “How things relate to each other” • Summarize your notes • Draw conclusions • Sketch diagrams to show how things come together • Come up with questions about the topics covered in class
