Questions: Competency Demonstrate principles of learning and cognition. Scenario You are a teaching assistant and have to complete your final course assignment. You have been tasked with developing a learning activity that will increase student memory and learning. You have decided to utilize Gardner's Multiple Intelligences for this activity. Instructions 1. Pick a topic that you have a lot of knowledge on. The topic is going to be sports. 2. Choose two types of Gardner's Intelligences and create an activity on your topic that supports each type of intelligence. 3. Explain how the activity relates to that type of intelligence. 4. Explain how your activity will enhance the student's memory and learning. 5. Finally, briefly describe the types of intelligence you believe that you possess.

To address the scenario, I will develop a learning activity based on the topic of sports, utilizing Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Specifically, I will focus on Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence and Interpersonal Intelligence.

Activity: Sports Skills Workshop

Description: Students will participate in a hands-on workshop where they practice various sports skills such as dribbling a basketball, kicking a soccer ball, and serving a volleyball. The workshop will be divided into stations, each focusing on a different sport and skill. Students will rotate through the stations, spending 10-15 minutes at each one.

Relation to Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence involves the ability to use one's body effectively to solve problems or create products. This activity engages students in physical movement and coordination, which are key components of this type of intelligence.

Enhancement of Memory and Learning: By physically engaging in sports activities, students can better internalize the skills and techniques being taught. The hands-on experience helps to reinforce muscle memory and improve retention of the information. Additionally, the physical activity can increase blood flow to the brain, enhancing cognitive function and memory.

Activity: Team Strategy Discussion

Description: Students will be divided into small groups and given a scenario where they must develop a strategy for a sports game (e.g., planning a soccer match strategy). Each group will discuss their ideas, assign roles, and present their strategy to the class. The activity will conclude with a reflection session where students discuss what they learned about teamwork and communication.

Relation to Interpersonal Intelligence: Interpersonal Intelligence involves the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. This activity requires students to collaborate, communicate, and negotiate with their peers, which are all key aspects of this type of intelligence.

Enhancement of Memory and Learning: Collaborative activities help students learn from each other and gain different perspectives. The discussion and reflection components encourage active engagement and critical thinking, which can improve understanding and retention of the material. Working in groups also helps students develop social skills that are essential for effective teamwork.

I believe I possess a combination of Logical-Mathematical Intelligence and Linguistic Intelligence. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence allows me to think critically, solve problems, and understand complex concepts, which is essential for analyzing and organizing information. Linguistic Intelligence enables me to communicate effectively, both in writing and verbally, which is crucial for explaining concepts clearly and coherently.

By incorporating these activities into the learning environment, students can engage multiple intelligences, which can lead to a more holistic and effective learning experience.
