This document discusses learning styles and multiple intelligences theories. It describes three main learning style preferences: auditory (learning by hearing), visual (learning by seeing), and kinesthetic (learning by doing). It also outlines Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which proposes linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. Understanding different learning styles and intelligences can help students identify their own preferences and strengths.

3. Have you ever wondered…
…Why you have difficulty
learning from a particular
instructor, whereas another
seems to explain things in
just the right way?

4. Have you ever wondered…
…Did you ever question
why the course that your
friend said was so easy
turned into a struggle for
you?

5. Have you ever wondered…
…Do you notice that you
and your roommate have
different opinions on
whether or not to have the
radio on while you're
studying?

6. What is “learning styles”
To put it simply, learning style
is the way you tend to learn
best. It involves your preferred
method of taking in,
organizing, and making sense
of information.

10. 3 learning style preferences
1. Auditory (learning by hearing)
2.Visual (learning by seeing)
3.kinesthetic (learning by doing)

11. Auditory (learning by hearing)
• Auditory learners would rather listen to
things being explained than read about
them.
• Reciting information out loud and
having music in the background is a
common study method.
• Other noises may become a distraction.

12. Visual (learning by seeing)
• Visual learners learn best by
looking at graphics, watching a
demonstration, or reading.
• For them, is easy to look and
interpret charts and graphs.
• They may have difficulty focusing
while listening to an explanation.

13. Kinesthetic (learning by doing)
• Kinesthetic learners process
information best through a
“hands-on” experience.
• Actually doing an activity can be
the easiest way for them to learn.
• Sitting still while studying may be
difficult, but writing things down
makes it easier to understand.

14. Multiple inteligence
theory

15. • Who remembers the class clown in your
elementary or high school?
• Who remembers the boy who always drew on
desks or any paper found?
• Or the person who was always the leader in
an activity?
• Intelligence----- Measured in relationship to
reading, writing, or arithmetic skills.
