MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

CLASS # 7

"AN INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, OR TO CREATE PRODUCTS, THAT ARE VALUED WITHIN ONE OR MORE CULTURAL SETTINGS."

HOWARD GARDNER

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES VIDEO

HOWARD GARDNER

• a developmental psychologist best-known for this theory of multiple intelligences.
• He believed that the conventional concept of intelligence was too narrow and restrictive and that measures of IQ often miss out on other "intelligences" that an individual may possess

IMPORTANCE

• Students often equate intelligence with grades and/or test scores.
• But teaching students about Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory can show them that they are all intelligent in different ways.
• This perspective can boost their confidence and increase their motivation to learn.

VISUAL-SPATIAL

MATHEMATICAL LOGICAL

VERBAL-LINGUISTIC

We often say “A picture is worth a thousand words!” or “Seeing is believing!” This intelligence represents the knowing that occurs through the shapes, images, patterns, designs, and textures

This intelligence uses numbers, math, and logic to find and understand the various patterns that occur in our lives.

This intelligence involves the knowing which comes through language; through reading, writing, and speaking.

Interpersonal

Bodily-Kinesthetic

Intrapersonal

This is the person-to-person way of knowing. It is the knowing that happens when we work with and relate to other people, often as part of a team

We often talk about “learning by doing.” This way of knowing happens through physical movement and through the knowing of our physical body

At the heart of this intelligence are our human selfreflective abilities by which we can step outside of ourselves and think about our own lives

Musical

Naturalist

This is the knowing that happens through sound and vibration. In the original research on the theory of multiple intelligences this intelligence was called musical-rhythmic intelligence

The naturalist intelligence involves the full range of knowing that occurs in and through our encounters with the natural world including our recognition, appreciation, and understanding of the natural environment
