Another approach that supports the use of bodily-kinesthethic and visual-spatial intelligences is Fleming’s Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) Learning Styles. Fleming postulates that most people have a preferred way of acquiring knowledge, either visual, auditory or kinesthetic. Like the multiple intelligences, some learners use a mixture of these learning styles (Ahmadi and Gilakjani, 2011). Visual learners acquire new information through seeing. They need to construct meaningful mental illustration to keep data. Kinesthetic learners study best through body movement and they remember and process information through interacting with the space around them.
With the principles of VAK, improving vocabulary retention of learners can be done …show more content…

The K-12 Curriculum Guide in English stipulated the principles of an effective language arts and multiliteracies curriculum. One of these is it draws on informational texts and multimedia in order to build vocabulary and strong content knowledge. It is in this light that all of the words covered in the experiment were taken from the required literary texts in Grade 7 English. With this, the learners were helped in adding their vocabulary which in turn they used in understanding the texts that were required to read. This followed the integration language teaching …show more content…

This defines the roles of the teacher and the learners in the learning process which states that the learners will be the focus of the teaching-learning process. The teacher’s role is to facilitate learning by utilizing the interests and unique abilities of learners to reach a goal. On the other hand, the learners’ role is an active participant rather than a passive one. This means that the learner will be involved in tasks that will help him reach the goal of learning. In this study, the instruction followed the criterial tasks of the K-12 Curriculum. The teacher was a facilitator guiding the learners to arrive at the meaning of a difficult word. While the teacher acted as a facilitator, the learners were involved in an activity of identifying the meaning of a difficult word using speed drawing and kinesics.
Lastly, the learning strategies used in this study is akin to that of the K-12 Curriculum which is performance-based. Speed drawing and kinesics as strategies in improving vocabulary retention are characterized by direct participation of learners. These does not only involve thinking skills but also motor skills. These vocabulary strategies can be traced in the VLS of

I am, a Kinesthetic and Auditory learner because I’m very good at sports like football and other sports. To add on, I’m good at good at listening,reading,writing, and math. In addition, I also am very good at science every year that I was in science I scored higher than the scoring average for all the grades I have been in. To sum, it all up that is why I am a Auditory, and a Kinesthetic learner.

For example if the teacher asks the children to create a cat from play dough, she should also create her a cat from the play dough and show the class her attempt at making a cat out of the play dough and she will enhance and encourage the learners to create their own because hers is just a mere guideline another example would be if at the beginning of the lesson the teacher says children put on your aprons as we going to do art today, at the same time she is busy putting on her apron. Teacher as a participator The teacher as a participator helps guide the children but not by physically doing their work for them. Children enjoys having an adult’s participation, especially when they feel they stuck or not certain if what they doing is right.

With math, I use a little bit of both kinesthetic and visual strategies, so it makes my learning experience easier. My math class isn’t very difficult to me because math is very visual and you can make it hands-on by picking apart problems. Since I use both kinesthetic and visual strategies I have more options when taking notes or quizzes since I have more tools to pick from. One of my favorite kinesthetic tools is using my previous exam papers to help so I remember what I learned already in previous modules. A visual tool I use is watching lectures with pictures and gestures because that provides me something visual to link questions to.

VARK is an acronym for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic learning methods, and is a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions, which have answers that are not right or wrong, that allows the user to understand their preferred method of learning (VARK, 2017). The author’s scored visual-14, aural-12, read/write-16, kinesthetic-16 indicating the author is a multimodal learner with emphasis on reading/writing, kinesthetic, and visual. A multimodal learner can use several strategies for learning and may need to have material presented in multiple methods to fully understand the information (VARK, 2017). Now, the author’s modalities with the highest score will be further explored. The read/write modality uses written word to send and receive

To assess my own personal learning preference, I took the perceptual learning preference survey created by Kate Kinsella (1993). Upon taking the perceptual learning preferences survey, it became clear that many of the questions to which I responded “usually” were those that seemed to indicate preferences for reading and visual learning, or the ability to utilize all the senses while learning. I noticed indicating a dislike toward questions that seemed mostly auditory in nature. Toward the end of the survey, I assumed the results would favor either a visual or kinesthetic learning style, and guessed that auditory might be one of the lowest scoring preferences. I was correct; auditory learning scored lowest, with sixteen points.

A learner is comprised of countless diverse skills and abilities. Each learner is unique and has his/ her own distinct way of understanding new material. My personality consists of an intrapersonal, interpersonal, visual learner, who is social, security-oriented, and an introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging human. All these results create who I am as a person and who I am as a learner. Learning Styles Inventories

Every unique individual has a different way that he or she learns things. When taking a learning styles inventory, there are three different categories that a person may fall under. First, there are auditory learners, these people learn best by hearing materials. Then, there comes the visual learners which are the ones that remember things by seeing or writing them down. Finally, there are the people who are hands-on leaners and they are the kinesthetic-tactile learners.

Differentiation, with respect to instruction, means tailoring it to meet individual needs of the students. Teachers can differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. Teachers differentiate the four classroom elements based on student readiness, interest, or learning profile. (Tomlinson 2000). Differentiated instruction can be known as an organizing framework in teaching and learning which calls for a major restructuring in the classroom and syllabus, if done in the proper way, its benefits will transgress the costs.

Likewise, the Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory is also a very useful model for developing any systematic approach for nurturing and training learners and respecting their individual needs and strengths within a classroom setting. According to Emmer and Evertson (2009) multiple intelligence aids teachers in easily creating more personalized and diversified instructional experiences. It offers the teachers to help students become empowered by extending and promoting cognitive bridging techniques based on the seven intelligences, by fostering in them a deep metacognitive understanding and advancing suggestions for a broad array of skills and techniques to deal with different types of learners. This theory is summarized by Howard Gardner in his book Frames of Mind (2006) namely: Linguistcs, Logical Mathematical, Spatial, Musical, Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. Using these techniques can help create ‘instructional bridges’ into difficult concepts.

Learning style is a way to see how did each one of us learn visual,auditory,reading/writing or kinesthetic learners. Each one of us has different way of learning and understanding. It could be Visual: by seeing the thing that they want to learn , it could be auditory: by listing, or also it could be reading/ writing or Kinesthetic and this by touching and learning how things works. Sometimes we need to teach ourselves and learn from our mistake we make. Each person will need to teach themselve .
