 | School is the best place to learn. As little as 15% of our time is
spent in school. Although a good place to learn for many, learning does not
start and finish at the school gate. |
| Intelligence is fixed. Research in the last 10 years has shown that
although we are born with many abilities our brains change and develop
throughout our lives and like a muscle the more it is used the fitter it
becomes. |
| Teaching produces learning. Unless you are receptive to learning it doesn’t
matter how good the teacher is you will not learn. Understanding your own
learning style is the key. Some of us learn through movement— these are
kinaesthetic learners, others learn more easily by visualising pictures and
patterns, while auditory learners are most receptive to listening to
information. |
| We all learn the same way. Research suggests there are 7 types of
intelligence. This means that your strengths will be in different areas.
Often our type of intelligence reflects what we enjoy doing the most. You
may enjoy words and patterns or you may be musical. Maths and problem
solving may come easily to you. You may be good at map reading and seeing
the big picture. Your expertise may lie in using your hands or you may have
a strong self belief. Finally you may be a good communicator. |
