This document discusses different learning and thinking styles. It describes three main sensory preferences that individuals gravitate towards - visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. It also discusses two dimensions on the global-analytic continuum - analytic learners who prefer linear, step-by-step learning, and global learners who see the whole pattern before the details. Finally, it outlines Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, identifying nine distinct forms of intelligence including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential.

1. LEARNING/THINKING
STYLES
It refers to the preferred way
an individual processes
information.

2. SENSORY PREFERENCES
Individuals tend to gravitate
toward one or two types of
sensory input and maintain a
dominance in one of the ff. types:

3. 1.VISUAL LEARNERS
this learners must see their teachers
actions and facial expression to fully
understand the content of a lesson.
 Visual-iconic
those who prefer this form of input
are more interested in visual imagery
such as film,graphic displays,or
pictures in order to solidify learning.

4. Visual Symbolic
This who prefer this form of input
feel comfortable with abstract
symbolism such as mathematical
formulae or the written word.

5. 2.AUDITORY LEARNERS
They learn best through verbal
lectures,discussions,talking things
through and listening to what others
have to say.
Listeners
they are the one who prefer to
listen.
Talkers
they are the one who prefer to
talk and discuss.

6. 3.TACTILE/KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
They benefit much from a hands-on
approach,actively exploring the
physical world around them.They may
find it hard to sit still for long periods.

7. GLOBAL-ANALYTIC CONTINUUM
 Analytic
They tend toward the linear,step-by-
step process of learning.
They tend to see finite elements of
patterns rather than the whole;they
are the “tree seers”

8. Global
global thinkers lean towards non-
linear thought and tend to see the
whole pattern rather than the particle
elements.
they arte the “forest seers” who give
attention only to the overall structure
and sometimes ignore details.

9. MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCES

10. Howard Gardner(1983)
described multiple intelligence in
Frames of Mind
9 Distinct forms of intelligence
1.Visual/Spatial Intelligence(picture
smart)
Learning visually and organizing
ideas spatially.Seeing concepts in
action inorder to understand them.

11. 2.Verbal/Linguistic(word smart)
Learning through the spoken and
written word.
3.Mathematical/Logical(number
smart/Logic smart)
Learning through reasoning and
problem solving.Also highly valued in
the traditional classroom,where
students were asked to adapt to
logically sequenced delivery
instruction.

12. 4.Bodily /Kinesthetic (Body Smart)
Learning through interaction with
ones environment.It promotes
understanding through concrete
experience.
5.Musical(music Smart)
Learning through patterns,rhythms
and music.This includes not only
auditory learning,but the identification
of patterns through all the senses.

13. 6.Intrapersonal(Self smart)
learning through feelings,values and
attitudes.This is a decidely affective
component of learning through which
students place value on what they
learn and take ownership for their
learning.
7.Interpersonal(People smart)
Learning through interaction with
others.This intelligence promotes
collaboration and working
cooperatively with others.

14. 8.Naturalist(Nature smart)
Learning through
classification,categories and
hierarchies.It is not simply the study of
nature ; it can be used in all areas of
study.
9.Existential(Spirit smart)
Learning by seeing the “big
picture”:”Why are we here?” “What is
my role in the world?”This intelligence
seek connections to real world
understanding and application of new
learning.
