“Theory of Multiple Intelligences” by Howard Gardner




January 24, 2014

Hi, is me; Rochelle again, posting great learning materials for your interest. This time, talking about the “Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, so read below:

Howard Gardner proposed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences in his book titled “Frames of Mind” in 1983. This theory tells us that students learn in different ways. If new material is presented in variety of formats, more students will likely learn and be able to demonstrate proficiency with the new material.

This theory states that a person has many different ways of acquiring and demonstrating intelligence. Some people remember just about anything if learned to the tune of a jingle or chant, while someone else may be able to grasp and idea, concept, or grammatical point if presented as a graph, chart, or picture.

Gardner has identified and labeled eight main styles of acquiring and demonstrating knowledge; those eight intelligences are:

  • Verbal/Linguistic
  • Visual/Spatial
  • Bodily/Kinesthetic
  • Logical/Mathematical
  • Interpersonal/Social
  • Intrapersonal/Introspective
  • Musical/Rhythmic
  • Naturalist

Now, the question is asks yourself, how do you learn?

I hope you encounter this information interesting for your learning activities and do better each day.

Thank you for your attentive attention.
Until the next post,
