Kinesthetic learning

“The Secret to Raising Smart Kids” (Dweck. 2015) inspires me to reassess my teaching style as a teacher and a parent. Positive reinforcement can be very helpful to boost a student’s morale, but parsing, if not done properly, can be detrimental to student’s mental development (Dweck.2015) Every child is different with his or her unique talents and capabilities. As explained by Howard Gardner’s “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” , “We all exhibit different profile of intelligence and these are…

several different learning types among the group. For example, I am a very visual and reading/writing learner. I learn best when something is written out for me to see. However, my brother Will is a very kinesthetic learner, who learns by seeing and trying things for himself. If a speaker was writing a speech for my brother and I, he or she may want to consider adding in visual elements and demonstrations. Analyzing an audience and taking into account that people have different learning styles…

Author Cathy Weselby (2014) condenses the ideals of Tomlinson and instructional differentiation into four areas: content, process, product, and learning environment (para. 2). Many of the content and learning strategies implemented by KIPP Truth Academy’s educators align to the practices detailed by Tomlinson and Zemelman. After analyzing the school’s low performance scores in writing, administration and internal stakeholders saw a need to increase students’ performance scores. To close this…

Social is addressed throughout the entire unit with cooperative learning. Verbal is used in the asking and answering of the text, repeating it, vocabulary activity, white board, the field trip, and the samples of the center activities. Logical learning is used in the memory game, bingo, building sculptures, field trip, and building the community collage bulletin board. Kinesthetic intelligence is used with role-play, musical movement, multiple center activities, field trip…

As I took the Learning Style quizzes, I realized so much about my learning style. Although, I am very familiar that I am a tactile and visual learner, I learned certain qualities that fall under the suggestions given that I was not aware of. The website howtostudy.com gave a list of suggestions that may help tactile/visual learners be successful in their studies. I also realized why I enjoy online classes more than physical classes, the reason is due to my continuous contact with the touch…

are numerous different ways of learning, such as musical, visual spatial, logical mathematical, naturalistic, bodily-kinesthetic, linguistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. All the learning styles are different, but what is my learning style? This is what I learned about the learning style assessment I took, what I received, and about the different activities that I can work better in. Anyways, the best way of learning for me is linguistic. After taking the learning style assessment, I…

Howard Gardner had a theory of multiple intelligences, and it has been extremely influential in the understanding of education. His claim is that there are multiple "frames of mind" varying from logical, to musical. These frames are the different ways of thinking about the world, and they are each very individual of each other. According to Howard, individuals vary in the type of intelligence in which they excel. In this essay I will discuss three different ways of thinking, along with examples…

I learn in all four ways which are Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. For Visual, I learn in a way that I underline my notes or the ones I feel are important. For Aural, I talk with others or ask them to see if my notes are accurate and true. For Read/Write, I read my notes to myself over and over again. For kinesthetic I use all my senses including sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. I do have a weird way of learning, especially since I do not fit into a specific category.…

A teacher should always have plenty of resources that aide students in learning and technology makes it a lot easier for some.…

what leadership entailed. Fullan (2011) stated, “The bottom line is that your best source of learning is day-to-day practice because it is only the experience that can engage and reshape the brain”. As a kinesthetic learner, I have learned to endure one day at a time, in order to process what has taken place during that day. I am stepping into the writing realm, which is out of my comfort zone when learning. For me, chapter 1 gives weight to focusing on how to effectively articulate my…
