Although I am unable to upload this image I analysed the chart before I misplaced it. After undertaking the quiz I noticed I am a linguistic leaner, Interpersonal (people smart), Visual/Spatial (Picture smart), Intrapersonal (myself smart) and Kinaesthetic (Body smart). The chart recognised the skills I lack in, such as Naturalistic (nature smart), Logical (Number smart), and Musical (Music smart).
I was not at all surprised to see I was Intrapersonal, Kinaesthetic and a Linguistic learner. When creating lesson plans of my own I noticed myself providing and incorporating images, movies and diagrams to assist the learners with the lessons. Music and numbers have never been a strong point of mine; this was obvious with the results of my results.
Providing for all learning styles is difficult when you rely on your own styles to teach a class with a variety of individuals. Adults and Children learn differently, adults have knowledge, values, relationships and intensions that influence how they behave and learn, whereas children are like empty vessels seeking to be filled explains David Kolb (2010 p.1.) Many children have different learning styles, and thus need to be taught differently ( 2010 p.1.). Incorporating a variety of resources and activities with different learning styles, learners will decide what learning style works best for them.
This utube clip is an interesting funnt explanation on different learning styles.
