Learning Styles

Imagen
We return to the usual programming after the Easter holidays (I was not ready for that 😭).  For this following weeks, the teacher introduced us to the topic of " learning styles ."  For many years this theory that people have different types of learning has been given. The first to define this system of different types of learning were Neil Fleming and Christopher Mills in 1992 with the VARK  model. The acronym VARK stands for: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic. But what does it mean?  Visual learners are the ones who prefer to learn through visual aids. For example, using charts, diagrams, videos, drawings, and graphs. Colors and shapes are also important for them. Auditory learners are the people whp learn through sounds, specifically spoken words. Podcast, audios and lectures are perfect for them. Reading/Writing learners prefer to learn through reading and writing activities such as textbooks, handouts, and note-taking. Kinesthetic learners...

PRESENTATIONS III: THE REVENGE

WELCOME BAAAACK I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME LMAO LET'S DO IT. On Thursday we keep reviewing the different intelligence with groupal expositions. It was fine. Intrapersonal Intelligence Light blue babes 💋 This is the intelligence of the people that is highly aware of their emotions, self-perception, and how to control them in order to have a good performance of their feelings. Also, people with this intelligence have a developed intuition and solving-problems skills.  A good way to develop this intelligence is to try to meditate, write down your thoughts on a diary/journal and write an autobiography (this last one surprised me, I have never considered this step). For this presentation, the activity was based on emotions (of course) and the group made this cute emotes. So the people who participate took one random emoji and talked about one experience with that specific emotion. Cute and emotional. 👍👏 😺😿 Naturalist Intelligence I LOVE THIS ONE. It was pretty interesting, I did n...

Visual-spatial Intelligence This was our presentation. Of course, we slayed. 💋 So as I mentioned in the previous entry, Visual-Spatial intelligence is the intelligence of people who are not as clumsy as we are. Ironically, none of us wanted this topic but well, things happened and we are God's fave clowns. The dynamic for this presentation was the following: to built a square using rectangle-shaped pieces of paper. I don't remember its name but lol it reminds me of Tetris. Our classmates loved this activity, just look at them, they look like those teenagers that appears in English texbooks.  Logical-mathematical Intelligence This is the kind of intelligence of people who were not afraid to study a major with Math as a subject (unlike me. I regret it 😺👍)  Y'all are so attractive 🌹💋 This is the ability to understand logical-mathematical processes, processing of numerical operations and the application of this knowledge in various areas. But this intelligence is not only ...

These last weeks we reviewed the Multiple Intelligences Theory.  I heard about this theory many years ago when I was a child, and I must admit that it made me feel happy to know that although I wasn't good at math, I was good in so many other areas.  So, well, what is this about?  MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES THEORY

COLABORATIVE APPROACH

Hi, welcome back to this low-budged blog 😸🙌 In the last lessons we reviewed the Collaborative Approach method. But what is that? Well, the name of this method give us some clues about what is this, but in a brief, this is based on getting students to work together according to a specific topic, exchange ideas and discuss them with their peers.  Also in this class we reviewed the "Community Language Learning", "task-based", and "content-based". But what is this? COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING:  A proper way to describe this method is: "I need my TRIBE to back me up!" in Spanish is: "Mi barrio me respalda 🤑" Students are supposed to create friendly boundaries with their classmates. TASK-BASED:  Students do small tasks together to achieve something bigger, each one has a small role for a big goal.  Basically, ant work. CONTENT-BASED : The last step in which the student is able to create something of their own based on the previous content....

 The last method we reviewed this period is the Community Language Method.  This is a language teaching method that involves psychological aspects while students work together as a community to develop together the best learning process for each other. This method firstly developed by Charles A. Curran and his association which is called the Counseling-Learning theory. HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Suggestopedia method is based on the power of suggestion in learning; the idea is that positive suggestion would make the learner more receptive and, in turn, stimulate learning. This method was created by Georgi Lozarnov, a Bulgarian psychotherapist whose main belief was that embarrassment and stress could stop students from learning, so he thought of using music to facilitate this process. HOW DOES IT WORK?
