Kinaesthetic Intelligence.
If you are not good at understanding formulas or structures, don’t think that you are not intelligent. I have heard a lot of people say, ”I am not intelligent” .I always replied saying “ Why?”.They usually say “I am not doing well at school, I don’t understand well or at all the teacher’s explanations.” I want to say to those people that they are intellingent. The only thing that make them feel like that is that they don’t understand; however it doesn’t mean that they are not able to understand. Of course they are smart. The problem is that thay have other kinds of intelligence that don’t adjust to the teacher methods.
Those people are probably kinaesthetic (body-smart). Not only do Body-smart people think and feel through touch and movements, but they also enjoy lots of sports and physical activity. If you are good at dancing, acting or sport, you are kinaesthetic. The more skin and muscles you use, the better you remember. It means that in a classroom teacher should consider this fact. In general body-smart people may welcome opportunities to get up and move around the class.
Kinaesthetic learners can use gestures to learn the information. For instance in a language class, you can give the meaning od a new word by using gestures rather than using a long sentence. It may sound odd, but it is a good idea for kinaesthetic learners to chew gum while studing. Also listening to music while studying is a great idea as the more senses you can involve in learning, the better you will remember it.
