Reflections in Technology for Teaching and Learning

 Learning Styles Learning style is one of the other factors that influences how an individual learn. Both professionals and learners may learn knowledge more efficiently in a learning environment if they are given instructions in their chosen learning styles. For instance, some people learn best when given visual instructions, while others learn best when given verbal or kinesthetical instructions. These distinctions are typically the result of a person's unique learning style. There are several ways that different people learn best , or their learning styles. The idea of learning styles is based on the concept that members of groups frequently learn information more effectively through individual and preferred modalities. The ideal way for students to absorb knowledge, comprehend processes, acquire competencies, and understand how to use particular skills in a real-life situation may depend on their preferred learning style. One person might best learn by reading materials ...

 Multiple Intelligences In his book Frames Of Mind: The Theory Of Multiple Intelligences, Howard Earl Gardner first presented the theory of multiple intelligences, which he had created in 1983. Its foundation rejects the notion that there is a single dominating form of intelligence and instead recognizes the existence of several intelligences that combine in a special way in every person. The hypothesis of multiple intelligences, which initially received a cautious response, now is widely accepted in the field of learning and offers a distinctive perspective on how people learn. Gardner emphasizes that his approach allows for various methods of instruction rather than just one, empowering students and removing any limitations on their choice of learning style. Seven intelligences were identified in his 1991 research; however, he now believes that there are total of nine intelligences. The first type of intelligence given is Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence , which means, excellent l...

Nature of Problem-Based Learning With the use of ideas and experiences, a group of students may solve problems from the actual world using the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching methodology. This is different from the way teachers often instruct students, which involves giving them facts to acquire. Instead, problem-based learning encourages the use of analytical thinking and problem-solving techniques. A teaching method known as problem-based learning (PBL) encourages students to take charge of their own learning. It encourages pupils to understand concepts instead of just memorizing information by using difficult, real-world challenges as the subject matter of the classroom. There are numerous ways in which this might manifest itself. Students might present concepts and draft their own business plans as part of a problem-based learning initiative to address a societal need. In front of their peers and local leaders, students might work individually or in groups to create, develop,...
