INDEX OF LEARNING STYLES QUESTIONNAIRE

After completing my questionnaire from the North Carolina State University website https://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html , this is my personal result. 

Here, in the picture you have above, you can understand better which are my learing styles. 

Summarizing I can say that I'm:

- Active: learning by doing

- Intuitive: discovering

- Visual / verbal at the same time: more visual (1 point more)

- Sequential / global at the same time: more sequential (1 point more) doing things by steps instead on focusing on the whole part at first.  

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE SELF-ASSESMENT

For all of you who do not know what the term 'multiple intelligence' is, it is the way students or people in general learn. I mean, if we focus on teaching, students' learing styles may be linked somewhat with what their main intelligences are. Teachers must take into account these so-called different intelligences when they are planning their lessons in order to adapt the lesson plan and materials to the necessities of their students, to motivate and involve as many students as possible throughout the process of learning. 

Howard Gardner (1993), proposed in the book Frames of Mind the existence of seven basic intelligences. Later on, he added an eighth and even a ninth possibility.

SELF-ASSESSMENT RESULTS:

I just took a look in this link https://www.edutopia.org/multiple-intelligences-assessment and I could guess which are my results in the multiple intelligence test. I was sure about it before doing the test, I have an interpersonal intelligence at 100%! I knew that because people with interpersonal intelligence are good in social interaction and I do not have any problem in empathize with people and I like to listen to them and to be able to understand them, here you have my complete results!. 

Here you have another web to assess you strengths referring to multiple intelligence: http://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html

LEARNING CONTRACT

What do you think at first when you hear the concept 'learning contract'? I'm sure you've listened to it when you were students, because it is a brilliant tool to use with secondary students. The learning contract is a guide to monitor and direct the students' learning as it's like a negotiation of an agreement between the students and the educator. It provides structure and guidelines to let the student know what s/he needs and wants to learn and also how to learn.

I found this picture on the left and I think it's a good example to show what would be a learning contract, because in my class I want us to become a team, an we, as a TEAM...:

-must respect each other 

-must love each other in the way one is

-must share our feelings inside the classroom, our worries as well as our happiness

-must speak abouour beliefs

-don't support competition but cooperation
