1. Describe what you can do to advocate the use of the 14 learning centered principles in
teaching our learners.
Learner-centered education helps the students develop skills that will better
equipped them for their professional careers. Teachers can be trained in this approach,
so they can apply the principles and provide their students with a better learning
experience.
2. Explain your understanding on the following statements:

“The Teacher must orient his work not on yesterday’s development in the child but
tomorrow’s.”
A teacher must not educate the students on what he/she already achieved,
acquired, and/or learned but rather on new things that the students should understand.
Ex. A child plays with his/her mother or any siblings connects with their own cultural
standing and understand the motive of the actions the mother is signaling. Rather than
a child playing with another woman, in other culture with different language and new to
the child senses. Thus, he acknowledged that a learner varies in different culture.
3. In preparation of becoming a teacher, make at least 5 compilation of teaching strategies

based on the different thinking/learning styles multiple intelligence.
There are lots of thinking/learning styles multiple intelligence where the teacher
needs to adapt and connect with each of his/her students. Below is the compilation of
teaching strategies that based on the student different thinking/learning styles:
a. Visual Learners
- Visual learners retain information more effectively when visual aids are used, such as, pictures,
images, film clips, colours and diagrams. They're also good at understanding visual data presented
in maps, charts and graphs.
Strategies for teaching visual learners:
 Use visual aids - most other learners will benefit from visual elements as well.
 Provide visual analogies and metaphors to help with visual imagery.
 Sometimes graphics are not easy to use for specific topics but consider writing key points in front
of the class as this provides visual cues.
 Substitute words for colours and pictures.
 Ask the students to write down explanations and take notes because this entails looking at your
presentation or visualizing what you’re presenting.
 Colour or emphasizes key points in text.
 Avoid using large blocks of text.
 Include exercises where the students create mind maps.
 Use storytelling to help with visualization.
 Colour-code and organize any materials you provide as this helps organize things in their minds.
 Get students to visualize using phrases, such as, "Picture this", "Let's see what you would do."
b. Aural Learners
- Aural learners respond to sound, music, recordings, rhymes, rhythms etc. They remember
conversations well and music causes an emotional response in them.
Strategies for teaching aural learners:
 Encourage your students to participate in discussions.

 If reading is required suggest audio books if appropriate.
 Suggest for them to listen to music as they go over material.
 Allow recordings of your training sessions or make your lessons accessible online - this is also
helpful for other learning types.
 Get students to pair up and explain concepts to each other.
 Encourage problem-solving aloud.
 Suggest rereading their notes back to themselves when they get home.
 Use mnemonic devices and rhyming.
 If you are explaining a story, play relevant sounds from your computer.
c. Verbal learners
- Verbal learners favour using words and linguistic skills - in speech and in writing, such as, reading,
writing, listening or speaking. They like word games, puns and rhymes etc and are often strong
public speakers.
Strategies for teaching verbal learners:
 Use verbal teaching and writing activities.

 Ask them to discuss or present.
 Use acronyms or mnemonic devices.
 Get the class to read aloud. Try to get them to read in a varied way rather than in monotone.
 Role-playing, for example, practicing elevator pitches or interactions between employees and clients.
 Ask them to teach members of the class certain material.
 Suggest they reread and rewrite their notes, including summaries.
 Incorporate quizzes into your lessons.
 Show them or provide them with lists of key words.
 Providing these learners with a combination of information in a variety of verbal ways can assist their
learning, for example, they may initially read about a concept, afterwards they listen to an audio to
support what has been read, then they write notes and finally they partner up with someone and
discuss the topic.
d. Social learners
- Social learners process information by interacting with and relating to others. They enjoy working
with others and are often strong leaders.
Strategies for teaching social learners:
 Be inquisitive and ask them what they think about a concept/topic/idea.

 Ask them to bounce ideas off of each other and compare their ideas with others'.
 Allow them to discuss and share stories.
 Include group work.
 Engage in a role-play.
e. Logical learners
- Logical learners favour using logic and reasoning. They like to classify and categorize information
and solve problems with numbers. Logical learners are especially good at analyzing cause and
effect relationships.
Strategies for teaching logical learners:
 Provide the class with problem-solving tasks.

 Challenge them to work things out for themselves.
 Ask them to interpret abstract visual information.
 Include critical thinking exercises.
 Provide statistics and facts.
 Ask them to suggest conclusions after providing them with evidence.
f. Physical and tactile learners

- Practical learners process information effectively when they use their bodies and when they are
actually doing something. They put their learning into practice.
Strategies for teaching physical and tactile learners:
 Use physical exercises and provide hands-on experiences.

 Exercises where they are standing and walking are very effective.
 Include activities where they use a pen and paper to map out their thoughts and problem-solve
because writing is a physical exercise.
 Find a venue that provides these learners with large spaces so they can write and draw.
 Encourage them to draw diagrams, graphs and maps.
 Get them to interact with physical objects or solve puzzles.
 Role-playing.
 Provide real life examples, such as, case studies.
 Suggest reviewing their notes whilst they engage in physical activity.
 Ask them to teach other class members some of the lesson content.
 When you are asking them to visualize, explain the sensations that would be felt, such as, "The wind
was forcibly hitting against the left side of my body."
g. Solitary learners
- Solitary learners like to work and learn by themselves and self-study. They may come across as
shy or cold as they keep to themselves. If you get solitary learners feeling comfortable during
some of the training they are more likely to speak up during presentations or group work.
Strategies for teaching solitary learners:
 Ask questions so you know what they're thinking and how they're feeling.
 Provide individual problem-solving exercises.
 Explain why the lesson material is important as solitary learners are often interested in outcomes.
 Along with this, give the class ways to track their progress.
 Suggest links between what they have previously learned/should know and new concepts.
h. Naturalist learners
- Naturalist learners process information by working with and experiencing nature. They learn by
finding patterns in nature and using scientific logic for understanding.
Strategies for teaching naturalist learners:
 Include experiments in your lessons.

 Get them to imagine that what you're teaching is a new ecosystem that they can understand by
finding patterns. This will help them link concepts together.
 Have exercises where they can identify and classify.
 Use examples linking to daily life, people or nature.
 Provide observational data, such as case studies.
