2. THREE KINDS OF LEARNING STYLES

3. ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD)
• does not pay attention to the subject or does
not become motivated because of the
teaching methods and becomes a case of
dropout or stagnates

4. Visual Learners
• 65% of the population
• learn through what they are able to see with
their own eyes
• love aids such as photos, diagrams, maps and
graphs
• frequently are good writers

5. Auditory Learners
• 30% of the population
• good listeners
• absorb information in a more efficient manner
through sounds, music, discussions, teachings
• appreciate books on tape and may find that
reading aloud will help them to retain
information

6. Kinaesthetic Learners
• 5% of the population
• learn best through moving, doing, acting out
and touching
• Projects that are hands-on in nature are best
for Kinaesthetic Learners

7. MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES THEORY

8. Linguistic intelligence
("word smart")
• ability to learn languages, and the capacity to
use language to accomplish certain goals
• Writers, poets, lawyers and speakers are
among those that Howard Gardner sees as
having high linguistic intelligence

9. Logical-mathematical intelligence
("number/reasoning smart")
• capacity to analyze problems logically, carry
out mathematical operations, and
investigate issues scientifically
• This intelligence is most often associated
with scientific and mathematical thinking.

10. Spatial intelligence
("picture smart")
• the ability to "think in pictures," to perceive
the visual world accurately, and recreate (or
alter) it in the mind or on paper
• These people also have the capacity to use
charts, diagrams, tables, graphs etc efficiently

11. Bodily-Kinaesthetic intelligence
("body smart")
• entails the potential of using one's whole
body or parts of the body to solve problems

12. Musical intelligence
("music smart")
• involves skill in the performance, composition,
and appreciation of musical patterns
• capacity to recognize and compose musical
pitches, tones, and rhythms
• runs in an almost structural parallel to
linguistic intelligence
• ..........The sound of music - Do Re Mi Fa. -

13. Interpersonal intelligence ("people
smart")
• ability to perceive and understand other
individuals - their moods, desires, and
motivations
• Political and religious leaders, skilled parents
and teachers, and therapists use this
intelligence.

14. Intrapersonal intelligence
("self smart")
• is an understanding of one's own emotions,
feelings, fears and motivations
• it involves having an effective working model
of ourselves, and to be able to use such
information to regulate our lives
• Some novelists and or counsellors use their
own experience to guide others

15. Naturalistic intelligence ("nature smart")
• enables human beings to recognize, categorize
and draw upon certain features of the
environment
