Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and various educational techniques such as suggestopedia and community language learning are influential in modern teaching. These methods incorporate elements like body language, music, and drama to engage multiple intelligences.
Accordingly, an understanding of which type(s) of intelligence a student may possess can help teachers adjust learning styles, and suggest certain career paths for learners.
These multiple intelligences range from the use of words, numbers, pictures and music, to the importance of social interactions, introspection, physical movement and being in tune with nature.
Refers to a theory describing the different ways students learn and acquire information.
Involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.
HOW NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING WORKS
Those who practice NLP analyze their own and other perspectives to create a systematic overview of one situation. By understanding a range of perspectives, the NLP user gains information.
Modeling, action, and effective communication are key elements of neuro-linguistic programming. The belief is that if an individual can understand how another person accomplishes a task, the process may be copied and communicated to others so they too can accomplish the task.
