I know that I learn in various ways. The stratagies I use to learn are simply repitition, review, and connect. I make sure to read all my resources before I am tested on a subject, such as: reading my notes, quizing myself on my notes, reading the book, or reading the chapter summaries. I like to make sure I have a thorough understanding of what I learned and have done any research on my own to clarify any questions I may have had. Most importantly, I learn best by making a connection with the lesson or subject with my life. If I can relate to the subject in any way, it locks in my mind and is there to stay. I believe this is the best way for me to learn because the subject not only was needed for a test or discussion, but for me personally as a student, mother, sister, employee, future teacher, or past student. I enjoy making the connections and keeping them locked in mind.
When it comes to multiple intelligences, I scored a 100 percent in three areas. Not suprisingly, the areas included kinesthetic and visual, but I thought I would have scored higher in interpersonal versus intrapersonal. I scored high in both, but got 10 for 10 in intrapersonal. The survey taken in class proved to me that I was a visual person, but I also use all but one of the intelligences. I scored a 30 in the naturalist section, which did not suprise me as much. I knew I wouldn't score highly there when I could only say "yes" to two of the statements. I
definitely know the importance of and am thanful for Gardner's breakthrough studies. He is absolutely incredible for this.
My motivation are my children, family, and future. For me, my children are the most important pieces in my life and I want them to know how important school is and want to accomplish a degree as well. My family has always been behind me and they continue to motivate me with great praise and phone calls of encouragement. My future of one day teaching a classroom full of eager learning minds pushes me to want to continue and began changing lives for young students who may not like school or not enjoy it.

I have found that I really use connections and repetition. While learning other students names in another education class I was saying their name and linking it with something that popped into my head. One womans' name was Valerie and I have an aunt Valerie so when I looked at her I made that connection and then repeated it.
ReplyDeleteI too try to make connections with things to be able to remember them as well. However, I have not try to connect it with a more personal level. I will have to try that anything to help me remember what I need to.
ReplyDeleteVery good insight and connections
