Multiple intelligences
- 1. By: Shavene M. and Abbey D.
- 3. Howard Gardener • A professor at Harvard University • Developed the theory of Multiple Intelligences • Established that humans have 8 intelligences • Logical- mathematical • Linguistic • Musical • Spatial • Bodily Kinesthetic • Interpersonal • Intrapersonal • Naturalist • According to his theory, individuals may have all the intelligences, however, some intelligences may be more prevalent in the individual
- 4. Logical-mathematical • Core Components • Logical or numeric patterns; long chains of reasoning • Logical- mathematical intelligence tend to be dominant in students who are good at inductive and deductive reasoning. Professional such as scientists and mathematician have high logical-mathematical intelligence • Classroom Implications • When using technology teachers must incorporate software that warrant students problem solving skills. • Without technology teachers must engage students in experiments that allows for observation and problem solving implementation. • Student Implications • Students are engaged in problem solving and reason with/without technology.
- 5. Linguistic • Core Components • Sounds, rhythms, meanings of words; different functions of language • Linguistic intelligence tend to be dominant in students who enjoy writing and speaking in aloud. Professions such as journalism charter individuals who have linguistic intelligence . • Classroom Implications • Teachers can use software that requires the use of written language such as word processing and/or online word games. • Teachers can also incorporate classroom debates/discussions and/or activities such as word search. • Student Implications • Students use verbal and written language to enhance their learning.
- 6. Musical • Core component • Rhythms, pitch, timbre, forms of musical expression • Musical Intelligence is prevalent in students who are musically inclined. For instance, a composer and a violinist both have musical intelligence • Classroom Implications • Teachers use multimedia lessons that use music or associate a sound with music • Teachers read aloud to students • Student Implications • Recognize and compose musical pitch. • Learn by associating rhythm and sounds to words.
- 7. Spatial • Core component • Transform perceptions into images and pictures • Students who like to draw and design are exhibiting spatial intelligence. • Classroom Implications • Teachers can use graphic editing software such as Photoshop, Paint shop and Photo bucket. • Teachers can you graphic organizers, and visuals in the classroom • Student Implications • Students use digital software to create art, and concrete conceptual ideas • Students design use visuals to aid in their learning
- 8. Body • Core Component: Wisdom of the body and the ability to control physical motion *Students who have expertise in using their body to express themselves with ideas and feelings. • Teachers use joysticks, graphic tablets, and graphic programs. • Body Intelligence is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Howard Gardner sees mental and physical activity as related.
- 9. Interpersonal • Core Component: Ability to communicate effectively with other people and to be able to develop relationships. *Students who do well with group projects and group participation, understanding the other group members behaviors. • Teachers use groups with social activities with two or more players. • Allows people to work effectively with others. Educators, salespeople, religious and political leaders and counsellors all need a well-developed interpersonal intelligence
- 10. Intrapersonal • Core Component: Ability to understand one’s own emotions, motivations, inner states of being, and self-reflection. *Students that work well on their own, including independent work. • Teachers use self-paced instructional games. • In Howard Gardner's view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.
- 11. Naturalist • Core Component: Awareness of the natural word around someone. *Students work well with observing things around them, good with problem solving. • Teachers use simulations that allows students to experience with problems and observe results. • Naturalist Intelligence combines a description of the core ability with a characterization of the role that many cultures value
