Inventory below, and find out!
Inventory:
Visual Auditory Kinesthetic
V= 11 A= 2 K= 1
II. EXPLORE
Answer the following:
1. What do you scores tell you about your learning and thinking styles?
Based on the total score in the inventory, I am a visual learner and I believe
that as a visual learner, I learned best from visual aids such as illustrated
textbooks, videos, flip cards, hands out, and diagrams. As a visual learner, I
also prepare educators or teachers who use the board or overhead projector
during class discussions because it can be very useful for us as visual
learners to take detailed notes and easily absorb information.
Yes, it is possible for one student or learners to score equally on the three styles, but
generally speaking, learners favor one learning style over three learning. However, there are
students or individuals who possesses two Learning style or even three different learning
styles and they can evenly balance and blend the three styles. That is why, as educators or
aspiring educators, we must create a classroom that can handle all three styles so students
can learn effectively
III. LET’S DO THESE
1. Choose a topic from your field of specialization.
2. Think of at least ten learning activities relevant to the topic you picked.
3. Indicate the thinking/learning styles and multiple intelligences that each
learning activity can address. Remember, a learning activity may address both
thinking/learning style and multiple intelligence.

C. Answer the following:
1. In your own words, describe the different learning/thinking styles and multiple
intelligences.
Multiple intelligences, while related to learning style, place a greater emphasis on intellectual abilities.
Learning style, on the other hand, emphasizes a person's preferred method of learning. Visual learners are
students or learners who learn best with visual aids, preferring to visualize information in order to easily absorb
the information and the idea. Auditory learners, on the other hand, are those who learn through hearing and
listening. When they hear something, they absorb and understand it quickly. Finally, the tactile/kinesthetic
learner is someone who needs to be actively engaged in their learning; they absorb information through
experience and doing; they are learners who learning by doing.
Multiple intelligences was first proposed by Howard Gardner in his book Frames of Mind (1943).
Gardner claims that there are nine different types of intelligence. The first is visual special intelligence (Picture
smart), which allows a person to understand different types of graphics and information. The ability of an
individual to analyze information and produce words that are both oral and written, such as emails and
speeches, is known as verbal linguistic (word smart). The ability to calculate and solve abstract problems is
known as mathematics/illogical (number smart/logic smart). Individual forms of intelligence that use one's own
body to create a product or solve a problem are known as bodily kinesthetic (body smart). Individuals' musical
(music smart) intelligence, which allows them to produce and interpret various types of sound. The ability of an
individual to value what they have gained is known as interpersonal (self-smart). Intrapersonal intelligence
(people smart) is the ability of one person to collaborate with and understand other people or individuals.
Existentialist and Naturalist The ability to seek connection to real worlds is known as existential (Spirit Smart)
2. What is/are your thinking/learning style/s? What are your dominant multiple
intelligences?
My key takeaway from the learning thinking styles and multiple intelligences module is that each
student or individual has their own unique multiple intelligence, as well as a unique learning style for
approaching, gaining, and understanding information. Each student processes and acquires information
in their own unique way. The majority of students learn and comprehend a particular concept of
information through classroom discussion and the use of visual aids and handouts. Some students learn
best by listening and hearing information; however, in order to gain and absorb information, some
students need to be actively engaged and involved in hands-on problem solving.
