Multiple intelligences and learning styles

Assessment type	Formative and summative
Assessment method/tool	Online/Paper quiz
Operationalisation (what is being assessed and why, how to conduct it)	This assessment method is made for exercise 5 - Multiple intelligence - Matching exercise Learning outcome that is covered by this method is: Illustrate the main characteristics of each type of MI (and each type of learning style) in order to better understand their practical application in the STEM learning environment. In other words - How to learn to easily recognise which MI is most developed with your learners/trainees by matching the characteristics with specific types of MI This method can be executed in a paper form or as an interactive worksheet. a) Interactive mode: Create an interactive worksheet with a matching exercise (quiz). The worksheet should contain a table with 8 columns, each column representing 1 type of MI (inputs can be taken from links below). Characteristics typical of the 8 respective MI types are listed above or below the table (depending on the preference). Trainees drag each characteristic to the corresponding column of the table. There are many applications available at the moment, but Liveworksheets is a free and very simple to use option. After the worksheet is created, a link is generated that can easily be sent out to all participants. They complete the exercise, either hit the CHECK ANSWERS button or send it to the teacher's mailbox. In any case, the application corrects participants' answers, and the number of points is available right away. LearningApps.org is also a good option. b) Paper mode: Give each pair/group of teachers/trainers one flipchart paper and cut out characteristics of MI types. They draw a table with 8 columns and distribute the cut-out characteristics across the table (or if you have enough flipcharts for all the groups, they can use safety pins to attach the answers). In this case the teacher/trainer needs to check the answers.
Remarks	This method can be used for both formative and summative assessment depending on what the teacher’s/trainer’s goal is.
