6. WHAT THE TEACHER DOES
UNDER THIS THEORY
WHAT THE STUDENTS DO
UNDER THIS THEORY
A teacher can design how to
teach students by
understanding their students
learning patterns and finding
the easiest way to deliver
material. This can be
through physical or
technological learning.
With the use of this theory, a
student can find his/her
easiest way to master
material by using the
intelligences that relate the
best to their abilities. This
can be through physical or
technological learning.
7. This theory is very beneficial
because it helps a teacher to
understand a student’s
learning pattern. It will be
easier for the student to
understand material if they
are receiving information
through their best learning
style.
