ways of learning. They are particular to each individual. They involve educational methods that allow
individuals to learn the best.

VAK LEARNING STYLES(CHAPMAN, 2005)
VISUAL Visual learning refers to a person's
ability to perceive, analyze, and understand visual information in the world around them.
Learn best when taught using written, modeled, or diagrammed instruction and visual media.
Tend to be readers who diligently take down every word.
AUDITORY LEARNERS Learn primarily through listening. They focus their ears and attention on
your words, listening carefully to everything you say.
They like to talk rather than write and discuss what they've heard.
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS Process information best through a
“hands-on” experience. Learn best by actually doing an activity
or being physically active in the learning environment.

Read the bolded column on the left. Choose how you would normally approach the task. Put a point in the column that applies to you, in general. Total the columns to indicate your relative learning style preference/s. The column/s with the most points is it!
STUDY TOOLSVisual learners: Develop graphic organizers for new material Draw mind maps Develop charts and graphs Use highlighter to emphasis key points Visualize MaterialAuditory learners: Record lectures Study in groups Participate in discussions Read and answer questions out loud “talk your way” through problemsKinesthetic learners: Participate in projects Make note cards or sample tests Take frequent breaks and move around Copy key points onto dry erase board
HOWARD GARDNER’S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES MODEL
LINGUISTIC Refers to an individuals ability to
understand and manipulate words and languages.
Includes reading, writing, speaking, and other forms of verbal and written communication
People such as poets authors, and attorneys exhibit strong linguistic intelligence
Highly valued in today’s education system
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL Individuals ability to analyze problems
logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.
Likes to play strategy games and solve mathematical problems
Real life examples are Albert Einstein, Niehls Bohr, and John Dewey.
Highly valued in today’s education system
MUSICAL Involves skill in the performance,
composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.
It encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Louis Armstrong are examples.
BODILY-KINESTHETIC Entails the potential of using one's
whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.
It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements.

People with this intelligence are Michael Jordan, Martina Navratilova, and Jim Carrey.
SPACIAL-VISUAL An individual’s ability to recognize and

turn information into lyrics, tapping out time during studying Bodily-Kinesthetic
act out or role play the information, review of material while engaging in physical activity
Visual-Spatial construct graphs, charts, or pictures of information
Interpersonal work and/or study in groups, use of conferencing or email
Intrapersonal work and/or study independently, use of reflection such as
