Title of the Module LEARNING or THINKING STYLES and MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
Overview One factor that brings about student diversity is thinking/learning styles.
Individuals think and learn in distinct ways. In any group of learners there will
always be different learning characteristics, particularly in the learners’
manner of processing information. Some would absorb the lesson better when
they work with their hands than when they just listen. Others would prefer to
watch a video about a topic. Students, likewise have preferred ways of
expressing their thoughts, feelings and ideas. Some would prefer to write,
others would draw or even dance and sing. These preferences involve
thinking/learning styles and multiple intelligences.
Learning In this module, challenge yourself to attain the following learning outcomes:
Outcome/s
• Describe the different learning/thinking styles and multiple
intelligences
• Determine your own learning/thinking styles and multiple intelligences
• Plan learning activities that match learners’ learning/thinking styles
and multiple intelligences

read about things than hear about them. They means for learning tend
to be good abstract thinkers who do not require practical means for
learning.
Both sides of the brain can reason but through different strategies In an
individual, one side may be more dominant than the other. The fell brain is
regarded as analytic in approach while the right is described as holistic or
global. A successive processor (hell brain) prefers to learn in a step-by-step
sequential format, beginning with details leading to a conceptual
understanding of a skill. A simultaneous processor (right brain) prefers to Team
beginning with the general concept and then going on to specifics.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
His most current research indicates that there are nine distinct forms of
intelligences. In order to facilitate learning effectively, teachers should use
strategies that match these kinds of intelligences. The nine kinds are:

SECTION ONE:
1. _____I enjoy doodling and even my notes have lots of pictures and arrows in
them.
2. _____I remember something better if I write it down.
3. _____I get lost or am late if someone tells me how to get to a new place, and I
don’t write down the directions.
4. _____When trying to remember someone’s telephone number, or something
new like that, it helps me to get a picture of it in my mind.

5. _____If I am taking a test, I can “see” the textbook page and where the
answer is located.
6. _____It helps me to look at the person while listening; it keeps me focused.
7. _____Using flashcards helps me to retain material for tests.
8. _____It’s hard for me to understand what a person is saying when there are
people talking or music playing.
9. _____It’s hard for me to understand a joke when someone tells me.
10. _____It is better for me to get work done in a quiet place.
Total______
SECTION TWO:
1. _____ My written work doesn’t look neat to me. My papers have crossed-out
words and erasures.
2. _____ It helps to use my finger as a pointer when reading to keep my place.
3. _____ Papers with very small print, blotchy dittos or poor copies are tough on
me.
4. _____ I understand how to do something if someone tells me, rather than
having to read the same thing to myself.
5. _____ I remember things that I hear, rather than things that I see or read.
6. _____ Writing is tiring. I press down too hard with my pen or pencil.
7. _____ My eyes get tired fast, even though the eye doctor says that my eyes
are ok.
8. _____ When I read, I mix up words that look alike, such as “them” and “then,”
“bad” and “dad.”
9. _____ It’s hard for me to read other people’s handwriting.
10. _____ If I had the choice to learn new information through a lecture or
textbook, I would choose to hear it rather than read it.
Total______
SECTION THREE:
1. _____ I don’t like to read directions; I’d rather just start doing.
2. _____ I learn best when I am shown how to do something, and I have the
opportunity to do it.
3. _____ Studying at a desk is not for me.
4. _____ I tend to solve problems through a more trial-and-error approach,
rather than from a step-by-step method.
5. _____ Before I follow directions, it helps me to see someone else do it first.
6. _____ I find myself needing frequent breaks while studying.
7. _____ I am not skilled in giving verbal explanations or directions.
8. _____ I do not become easily lost, even in strange surroundings.
9. _____ I think better when I have the freedom to move around.
10. _____ When I can’t think of a specific word, I’ll use my hands a lot and call
something a “what-cha-ma-call-it” or a “thing-a-ma-jig.”

Assessment 1. In your own words, describe the different learning/thinking styles and
multiple intelligences.
2. What is/are your thinking/learning styles? What are your dominant
multiple intelligences?
3. Choose a particular learning style and intelligence of students. Plan
learning activities that match with the particular learning styles and
multiple intelligences of students.
