Mum, pls understand - I have a style!

I was first introduced to the concept of learning styles when I was in a teacher's college. I had this in my heart when my lecturer told me this, "If only I knew this all along while I was growing up, I could have catered to my styles better. @#$%!" Anyway, better now than never right?


I'm going to share this with you, so you're now obligated to be aware of your respective learning styles (if you're not aware of it yet....). Knowing your strongest forms of intelligence helps you to become a faster, learner, because there are techniques for more effective learning that match your learning style.


Here it goes (credits to www.acceleratedlearning.com)





Linguistic – well developed in people who are good with words, who like to write and read a lot.
Obvious examples are authors, journalists, poets, orators and comedians.

Mathematical/Logical — well developed in people who are good with numbers and appreciate step-by-step, logical explanations. Obvious examples are engineers, economists, scientists, lawyers and accountants.

Visual/Spatial — well developed in people who are good at art, visualising, navigating. Obvious examples are architects, photographers, painters, strategic planners, and sculptors.

Musical — well developed in people who are good at music and rhyme, and who have natural rhythm.
Obvious examples are composers, musicians and recording engineers.

Bodily/Physical — well developed in people who are good at sport, dance, and handicrafts.
Obvious examples are athletes, sportspersons, carpenters, surgeons, builders.

Interpersonal — well developed in people who are good at persuading and selling or at teaching others and who can read other people's moods well. Obvious examples are teachers, trainers, politicians, religious leaders and sales people.

Intra-Personal or Reflective — well developed in people who are good at self-analysis and reflection, drawing conclusions from their own experience (and mistakes!), setting goals and making plans.
Obvious examples are philosophers, psychologists, therapists.

Naturalistic – well developed in people who like and respect nature and are interested in subjects like astronomy, evolution and the environment. Obvious examples are farmers, vets, biologists, gardeners and environmentalists.


So, what is your personal learning style?

The fact that everyone has a range of intelligences has huge implications for how you as a parent/ educator support your children. There are critical periods in mental growth of every child where you can influence their development to the greatest effect.
