Identifier	Thesis 1574
Author	Rarey, Margaret Shaker
Title	Observing and identifying young children's approaches to learning / Margaret Shaker Rarey
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	1999
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Young children perceive and respond to their environment in a variety of ways based upon their unique combination of approaches to learning. They use a range of intelligences in interacting with their classmates and the classroom setting: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and musical (Gardner, 1993). Children also approach learning based upon their own individual personality type (Meyers, 1980), as well as their unique temperament qualities (Chess and Thomas, 1987). Teachers of young children are interested in increasing their understanding of children's varied approaches to learning. Enhancing teachers' sensitivity to these differences by providing examples of children's different ways of learning and interacting will enable teachers to more effectively support children's individual strengths and address their needs in the classroom. This Master's Thesis includes the following components: 1. Identifying the features of Gardner's multiple intelligences, Chess and Thomas' temperament qualities, and Meyers-Briggs personality types (internal and external cognitive processor) that are observable in children interacting in an early childhood classroom; 2. Scrutinizing videotapes of classroom interactions to identify five children who represent a broad range in their approaches to learning based upon the elements listed above and analyzing their individual strengths in these categories. (Videotaping was completed over a three-month period in the kindergarten classroom of an outstanding veteran teacher at the East Hartford/Glastonbury Magnet School); 3. Identifying specific videotaped segments that exemplify each of the five students' approaches to learning in the areas of multiple intelligences, temperament qualities, and internal or external cognitive processing; 4. Developing an "Early Childhood Specialist Tip" for each video segment to support teachers' ability to recognize the behaviors that represent specific elements of multiple intelligences, temperament qualities, and personality types; 5. Selecting segments of interviews with the five children's parents to document elements of each child's approaches to learning from the parents' perspective; 6. Serving as a member of a team from the Departments of Teacher Education and Educational Leadership to develop the prototype of an interactive CD-ROM to help teachers to recognize (or to enhance teachers' sensitivity to) the elements of multiple intelligences, temperament qualities, and personality type that are observable in young children interacting in a kindergarten classroom. The prototype CD-ROM includes the contents of 3, 4 and 5 (above) and is included as part of this thesis.
