...VARK and Multiple Intelligences Inventory assessments and answers to the questions on the syllabus: 1. Based on the descriptions in the text, where do you see yourself on the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles? Based on the descriptions in the text of the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles I see myself as an active experimenter. I make decisions easily and enjoy solving problems. I enjoy applying what I have learned to see if I understood the material correctly and feel that I learn quickly. I am always ready to move quickly from thinking to action and get frustrated by those who take too much time acting on what they have been taught. This coincides with the realistic category I fall into with the Holland Personality and Career types as I see myself as a concrete and practical doer. I prefer situations that involve action rather than verbal or interpersonal tasks and take a concrete approach to problem solving rather than relying on abstract theory. 2. After reading about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, determine which personality is most like you. On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I am an ESTJ: Extravert –I am outgoing, gregarious, and talkative and find myself too talkative at times or intimidating to those who are shy or introverted. Sensing- I am interested in the facts and see myself as practical, factual, realistic and down-to-earth. Thinking- I see myself as a logical, rational, and analytical person. I tend to decide things relatively impersonally...

...self esteem multiple intelligences, parent and teacher’s involvement of students at risks with learning disabilities and their relationships to academic performance of high school students at risk with learning disabilities in order to design a supportive classroom environment for these children. This study was based on the theory that academic performance of students at risk with learning disabilities is dependent on the self-efficacy, self-esteem, multiple intelligences and parents and teachers’ involvement. The self-efficacy includes general self efficacy and social self efficacy. The multiple intelligences includes the Linguistic Intelligence, Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence , Musical Intelligenc, Interpersonal Intelligence , Intrapersonal Intelligence , Spatial Intelligence , and Naturist Intelligence. This study hypothesized that there is significant relationship between self-efficacy, self-esteem, multiple intelligence, parents and teachers’ involvement to the academic performance of students at risk with learning disabilities. Abstract Category: Education Course / Degree: Ph.D. Mgmt Institution / University: Capitol University, Philippines Published in: 2011 The research design was descriptive using cross tabulation technique. The study was conducted at GCCNHS, Gingoog City . The respondents of the study involved the thirty four ( 34 ) students at risk with LD. Five ( 5 ) sets of questionnaires were being administered...

...Emotional intelligence is ability to understand our own emotions and those of others and to apply this information to our daily lives (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Namy, Woolf, 2009). It’s the ability to perceive, understand, manage and use emotions to guide thoughts and actions (Goldman, 1996). Besides that, according to three studies about emotional intelligence and its influences on academic performance, people can also know that emotional intelligence is also a predictor of academic performance and studying success. All three articles did describe three different study methods and different goals; however, they all practiced on college student. The first study, “The role of trait emotional intelligence in academic performance and deviant behavior at school”, is about trait relationship between emotional intelligence and cognitive ability and academic performance. For examples, student with high emotional intelligence are likely to absence and excluded from school and most emotional intelligence effects continue to exits even when that person has controlling their personality variance (Petrides, Frederickson & Furnham, 2002). The second article, “Trait emotional intelligence and preference for intuition and deliberation: Respective influence on academic performance”, considers about the role of trait emotional intelligence and preference for intuition and deliberation in short-term academic performance. Its results are relationships between trait emotional intelligence, preference for...

...Participants were not compensated with a reward. Materials The experiment was carried out by using a short questionnaire measuring comfort score regarding three different traits: intelligence, warmth and confidence. The questionnaire contrasted three different conditions: accurate view of self, flattering view of self and negative view of self. The questionnaire contained nine questions such as ‘How would you feel if a person indicated that they saw you as considerably less intelligent than you privately believe yourself to be?’ Participants judged how comfortable or uncomfortable they would feel over the three conditions with respect to three different traits: intelligence, warmth and confidence. Likert-type Scale was used to answer the answers – 1 indicating completely comfortable and 5 - extremely uncomfortable. Brief introduction and written instructions were provided together with the questionnaire. Design The independent variable is the perception of self with three experimental conditions: accurate, flattering and negative view of self. The dependent variable is the score how comfortable (or not) participants would feel if a friend perceived them as such. Procedure...

...The researcher in order for her to better have a grasp of the topic at hand, conducted interviews among ten (10) students whom she thinks are smart. She thought of using a questionnaire-type interview in order to gain more insights about the ideas of other people regarding smart students. The questionnaire she gave her respondents is consisting of nine (9) questions, seven (7) of which are open-ended questions while two (2) are objective questions. The first question asked was: Do you believe you are a smart student? Why? Why not? Six (6) out of ten (10) of the respondents believe that they are smart; but they have different reasons to think so. Two (2) of the respondents stated that everybody is smart in his/her own way, while the rest believe that everybody is smart. Those who responded otherwise thought that they are not actually smart. They said that they just study well and are hardworking. One even said that she is only good at memorizations. The second question asked was: How smart are you compared to others? Most of the respondents do not believe that there is a need to be compared with anybody because they do not like to be compared. They just do their best to become a successful student. One respondent even stated that on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the smartest, she thought that she must be 7. Another respondent said that she has no idea how smart other students are. The third question asked was: Do you know somebody whom you think is smart? What do you think...

...Sensory preferences influence the way in which students learn. Neil Fleming’s VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities) Model is one of the most widely used tools to categorize various types of learning styles. Fleming notes these sensory modalities can occur separately or in combinations and can alter over time within the person. This tool can be used to guide teachers in preparing classes that utilize each of these areas according to the pupils’ needs. Students may also utilize the VARK to discover their favored learning style and take full advantage of their educational experience by utilizing the tools that will benefit them the most. (Fleming, 2011) Having taken the VARK questionnaire, at http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire, it took less than five minutes and then the results were quickly obtained. Individual scores received indicated a multimodal learning preference which included almost equal weights in visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic with a total score of 50. It was noted that around 60% of people fit within this category. Personal preferred learning strategies have been an obvious combination of visual, aural, reading & writing, and to a lesser extent kinesthetic. The strongest of these has been visual to the point that not only is color pen or font used but also various colors of highlighting. This strategy has been used for over 35 years and has worked well. Leite, Svinicki, and Shi (2009) claimed that, ...

...from…Howard Gardner? The Testing of Multiple Intelligences It is the first day of school at H.G. Elementary School. At recess, Bobby organizes a game of tag, while Suzy stands awkwardly against the wall; but come Sunday morning, Suzy is the star of the dance recital. Sarah can ace her spelling test if she creates a rhythmic pattern to each word but just cannot seem to solve story-problems in math. Jayden never needs a calculator to add, subtract, multiply, or divide but hates music because he just cannot seem to stay with the beat. Maribeth excels in history, and absorbs what she reads like a sponge, while Jessica prefers art and has pieces in the up-coming exhibit. Spencer takes care of the classroom’s terrarium and is a whiz with keeping the environment just right for the frogs, turtle, and lizards. Reed is a bit quiet and keeps to himself, which is no wonder since he is always thinking about the meaning of life and really enjoys reading about the great philosophers. While these examples seem completely normal for everyday life, they actually illustrate Howard Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences. Howard Gardner developed his theory on multiple intelligences which differentiated intelligence into eight areas rather than a singular, all-or-nothing intelligence. That is to say that to be considered intelligent, one could excel in any of the eight areas and no one area would be superior to another. Gardner’s eight types of intelligence are: musical, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic...

...LEARNING STYLES ACTIVITY We all learn in different ways. The more we understand about our own learning styles and those of our colleagues the better equipped we will be to provide a rich and multi-sensory learning experience for the users of museums, archives and libraries. This self-perception questionnaire is based on Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences. It will help you assess the balance of your learning styles, as you perceive them at this point in time. These preferences are not fixed. Your response will vary according to your mood and the learning context, and you are likely to have 3 or 4 preferences. It is important to remember that the more that we learn to use the full range of intelligences the more effective we become as learners. Please complete the questionnaire following the instructions. On the following pages transfer your scores to the multiple intelligences listing and then total these to find out your preferred learning style. CHECK OUT YOUR OWN LEARNING STYLE PREFERENCES BASED ON GARDNER’S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES MODEL Score between 0 and 3 for each of these statements 0 = This does not represent me at all 3 = This statement strongly represents me 1.

...Chapter I The Problem and Its Background Introduction Students spend one third of their 24 hours to study. A high school student spends 8 hours to school. For college students, sometimes they need longer time because of library research and extracurricular activities. (Molmisa, 2011) If the students spend more time in school than at home they should learn much from school. But why does some student get failing grade and some get passing grade? The student’s performance or academic achievement plays an important role in producing the best quality graduates who will become great leader and manpower for the country’s economic and social development. (Ali et.al, 2009) This research will be conducted to find out what affects student’s academic performance. The focus of this research is how student’s performance is affected by factors. Student’s performance is affected due to social, psychological, economic, environmental and personal factors. These factors strongly influence on the student performance, but these factors vary from person to person and country to country. Theoretical Framework This chapter presents the relevant theories about Factors Affecting Academic Performance of Bachelor of Science in Immaculate Conception International College of Arts and Technology in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. The factors affecting academic performance of a student has many reason why it is happening. Thinking skills will affect student’s learning facilities if they will not learn what...

...The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that breaks down how each person learns information in the best ways for them. Basically saying that each person learns differently and can retain knowledge better if they are learning something one way instead of another. The different multiple intelligences are visual/spatial, body/kinesthetic, verbal/linguistic, interpersonal, musical/rhythm, intrapersonal, logical/mathematical, and naturalistic. As you can probably tell by the titles, there is a wide array of different learning styles ranging from someone that is a very outgoing people person like interpersonal, or someone that would prefer to study and work alone like intrapersonal. My top three multiple intelligences were classified after taking the questionnaire as Intrapersonal, Logical/Mathematical, and Body/Kinesthetic. My first multiple intelligence is Intrapersonal, which is someone that understands oneself, aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and prefers to study alone. I use this learning style very often with school because I prefer to study in a room by myself with no outside noise. I also use this very often at work because I seem to get work done if I am working by myself. I seem to be able to concentrate better when I am by myself rather than working with someone and getting distracted by conversation. My second multiple intelligence is Logical/Mathematical which can be classified as someone that is very calculating, likes to solve...

... displays and take note of interesting points that they can relate to. The last style is the tactile learner; the doer’s the people who learn by actually doing things hands on. Based on data taken from two questionnaires “Assessing Your Learning Style” (Kolb, 1984) and “Multiple Intelligences Survey” (McKenzie, 1999) I discovered that my learning style is Kinesthetic or tactile. Let’s discuss how I discovered my learning style and how I adapted to it to benefit my learning experience and I will discuss an example of how I applied this learning style. Identifying your own personal learning style is important not only to ourselves but to our educators to aid in a plan outlining how we as an individual learn most effective. After describing the three basic learning styles and you have a basic understanding let’s concentrate on the tactile learner or the Kinesthetic Learning Style. The tactile learner will take action rather than thinking or planning what action to take. There are many positive attributes to a tactile learner, they usually have very good dexterity, can assemble and disassemble things proficiently and are very coordinated which makes them good at athletics. Based on two questionnaires that I completed I decided I am a tactile learner. The first questionnaire “Assessing Your Learning Style” (Kolb, 1984) is broken into two lists and each list contained twenty questions regarding your habits. I scored seven out of twenty on each list and based on the survey results...

...The Correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Instable Personality in Substance Abusers. ------------------------------------------------- Abstract Background Substance dependence has recently turned into one of the most important social problems. Clinical findings have shown personality traits, social relations, attitudes and values, along with emotional intelligence factors such as emotions, feelings, emotions management, challenging with problems, problem solving, tolerating psychological pressure, impulse control, self esteem and interpersonal relations, to affect substance dependence. Consequently, understanding the meaning and developing tools for assessment of emotional intelligence are significantly vital in human psychological health. This study aimed to investigate the relation between emotional intelligence and instable personality in substance abusers. Methods The present correlational study selected 80 male addicts through available sampling. The subjects referred to the Therapeutic Community Center and Kimia, Yas, and Aban Clinics in Yazd, Iran. Their emotional intelligence and personality were evaluated by BarOn questionnaire and Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) for adults, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlations between different factors. Findings There was a negative significant correlation (P = 0.050) between emotional intelligence and instable personality in substance abusers. Problem solving...

...purpose of effective recruitment. Psychology involves the study of the mind which is complex and is the source of thought and behaviour. It is scientific and examines individuals, their mind and their behaviour, and attempts to understand and explain thought, emotion and behaviour (Wilhelm Wundt 1832-1920). Individual Differences Vast Variation among biological populations inspired the formulation of Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection. Individuals are different and in fact unique based on a number of variables such as:- voice, skin tone, disposition, ethnicity, stature, attitude, physical symmetry, trainability, intelligence, aptitude, extroversion, introversion, sex, gender, neuroticism, expressiveness, memory, creativity, conscientiousness, agreeableness, values, beliefs and so on. The intelligence of the individual varies greatly. Intelligence (which is also referred to as Intelligent Quotient and Cognitive Functioning) concerns the mental ability to learn, the application of knowledge, aptitude - the ability of rational thought, and the capability of abstract thought. It involves also the memory of the candidate (J.P. Guilford’s Structure of Intellect Theory – 1967). Through...
