CATEGORIES OF LEARNERS ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Flashcards
The teacher’s primarily consideration in evaluating the learning needs of her
students is the individual’s capacity to acquire knowledge, ability to think,
abstract reasoning and capability in problem solving
Intelligence
The teacher can adjust and adapt instructional approaches considering the differences in students’ ability as follows:
Flexible time requirements
Increased instructional support
Strategy Instruction
Peer tutoring
Cooperative Learning
To help slow learners compensate for their relative deficiency in learning, there are
a number of methods available to the teacher
Increased Instructional Support
An indicator of intellectual differences of learning for individuals is the _____ to grasp comprehensively the subject well. This is equated with the students’ rate of growth and their readiness to learn. Some students learn faster than the others, hence, a teacher should design a teaching
strategy that will address students’ time requirements in terms of learning.
Flexible Time Requirements
This is said that student achievers are more equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills in facing challenges for learning. They can serve as sources of information for less able students.
Peer Tutoring
____ was proposed by Dr. Howard Gardner,
professor of education at Harvard University.
theory of multiple intelligences
The theory states that the traditional
concepts of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. He, thus, proposed eight different intelligences
theory of multiple intelligences
Research shows that student achievers are more likely to use strategies that make their learning more effective.
Strategy Instruction.
______ intelligence or “number/reasoning smart”
Logical – mathematical intelligence
Studies showed that students who tutor less able students even benefit more than the less able students. Student tutors are able to recall their knowledge in tutoring and further enhance their skills and skills
demonstration. Student tutors are able to enhance their social skills during cooperative learning activities.
