Scoring Instructions: Add the number of responses for each letter and enter the total
below. The area with the highest number of responses is your primary mode of
learning,
Visual Auditory
Kinesthetics
=0 =5
=5
Share your answers with your group:
1. What do your scores tell you about your learning and thinking styles?
I am a auditory and kinesthetic learner
2. Do you agree with your scores?
Absolutely, Yes
3. Is it possible for one to score equally on the three styles? Explain
It could be, because I myself sometimes study in different style so I believe it’s still
possible for one to equally score on the three styles.
Let’s Reflect!
We discovered that variety in the classroom leads to rich, fascinating, and

gratifying social experiences for students after completing this session on student
diversity. We now live in a time when children are interested in a variety of subjects.
Some students excel in academics, while others flourish in sports. Furthermore, most
learners become good in life or in their choices in life if they have a firm foundation in
their early years, so the question now is what can the teacher do to help them reach
their maximum potential? The most essential thing is to embrace their diversity and
teach them to enjoy who they are while still respecting others. In order to meet the
diverse qualities and demands of 21st Century learners, teachers must become more
imaginative and creative. For us to develop learning activities that are more
meaningful for the learners, it is critical that future teachers like us gain more
knowledge, particularly on how to deal with learners' needs and interests.I've
discovered The learning experience may be enhanced by student variety. Diversity in
the classroom and outside of it will continue to rise, so it's critical that we train
children to adapt to a changing environment and appreciate people who are different
from them. In addition, I've learned the value of cultural knowledge and diversity in
the classroom. Teachers must also be aware that this variability of learners stems
exceptionalities. A person's or a group's socioeconomic status is determined by their
social rank or class. It's usually calculated as a mix of education, income, and
employment, and it's based on how well you digest information. When compared to
two exceptionalities, linear thinkers (or "sequential thinkers") prefer a structured
approach to processing information. Intellectual disability, hearing impairments,
speech and language impairments, visual impairments, emotional disturbances,
orthopedic impairments, multiple disabilities, autism, traumatic brain injuries, and
giftedness and talent are examples of exceptionalities. With these three aspects in
mind, the teacher must be fully aware of the exceptionality component, which is
critical, particularly in inclusive education. As a result, the teacher should spend time
with the children to learn about their hobbies, favorite items, and recreational
activities. Establish a trusting and supportive connection and provide training that
incorporates their motivational interests.Apart from that, I've learned about the
prevalent misconception that various intelligences are synonymous with learning
styles, which I've learned about as well. Multiple intelligences, on the other hand,
reflect a range of diverse intellectual skills. Learning styles, according to Howard
Gardner, are the various methods that a person uses for a variety of activities in
different situations. Various classifications have been made for them, including
visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, impulsive and introspective, right-brain vs. left-brain,
and so on. Gardener says that the concept of learning styles is ambiguous since
there are no clear criteria for defining a learning style, determining where the style
originates from, or determining how it may be identified and measured. He refers to
the concept of learning styles as "a theory about how a person engages a variety of
different things." In addition to that, Furthermore, it was discussed in the courses
about the many types of thinking and learning styles, which piqued our interest since,
as we read about them, we realized that some of us really use them in different ways.
We conclude that a diverse student population enhances the learning environment by
bringing together a variety of viewpoints, backgrounds, ideas, and experiences from
a variety of people and places. This variety provides a chance for students to engage
in deeper and more in-depth conversations with one another, as well as the ability for
them to learn from one another.It is equally vital that the instructor develops a
teaching method that accommodates all of these different types of students.
