Today we made a VARK questionnaire and my result was I am visual and kinesthetic. As we have seen during classes, not all the children learn in the same way. Others may perceive, solve and think different from others. this are the Cognitive Styles. Teachers are very important because as they motivate their students, these became involved in learning, using their habilities, attitudes and habits. For some stuents is easily to study in groups, but there are someones (like me) that prefers to study alone. Others can lear just by hearing the class, but there are others that if there are no slides or images they can´t learn. Because of that is important that teachers should make they learning more attractive depending of the learning styles their students have.

Another summary of teachers
We presented about piaget's cognitive development. We learned about the different stages a child passes through and also we learned that they learn with experiences. Their thinking process changes to a logical and more abstract one. In other class we also read about the socialculrural theory of vygotsky, which is the opposite of piaget's. Also we learned about motivation, which is what makes you do or not do something. Teachers should motivate their students all the time by telling them good work or well done, teachers are a very important part of the children development at school.
