WEEK 16S QUESTION: PROPOSE THE APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE THEORY IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF MAJOR SUBJECT

Introduction

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

was created by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983.

Gardners theory places an emphasis on the idea that

the traditional understanding of intelligence by means of IQ testing is far too limited.

To broaden this notion of intelligence, Gardner

introduced eight different types of intelligences consisting of (and to be elaborated on later): Logical/Mathematical, Linguistic, Musical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Naturalist, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal.

The Eight Intelligences

Logical-Mathematical (Number/Reasoning

Smart): Sensitivity to, and capacity to discern, logical or numerical patterns; ability to handle long chains of reasoning End States: Scientist, Mathematician, Teacher
Linguistic (Word Smart): Sensitivity to the

sounds, rhythms, and meanings of words; sensitivity to the different functions of language End States: Poet, Journalist, Writer

The Eight Intelligences

Bodily-Kinesthetic (Body Smart): Abilities to

control ones body movements and to handle objects skillfully End States: Dancer, Athlete, Coach

Spatial (Picture Smart) : Capacities to perceive

the visual-spatial world accurately and to perform transformations on ones initial perceptions End States: Navigator, Sculptor, Painter, Artist

The Eight Intelligences

Musical (Music Smart): Abilities to produce

and appreciate rhythm, pitch, and timbre; appreciation of the forms of musical expressiveness End States: Composer, Violinist
Naturalist (Nature Smart): Abilities to

recognize plants and animals, to make distinctions in the natural world, to understand systems and define categories End States: Botanist, Farmer, Hunter

The Eight Intelligences

Interpersonal (People Smart): Capacities to

discern and respond appropriately to the moods, temperaments, motivations, and desires of other people End States: Therapist, Salesman Intrapersonal (Self-Smart): Access to ones own feelings and the ability to discriminate among them and draw on them to guide behavior End States: Personal with detailed, accurate self-knowledge, counselor

Multiple Intelligences Eight Ways of Teaching

Intelligence Teaching Activities Teaching Materials Instructional Strategies Sample Teacher Presentation Skill Teaching through story telling

Linguistic

Lectures, discussions, word games, storytelling, journal writing Brain teasers, problem solving, science experiments, mental calculations, number games, critical thinking

Books, tape recorders, stamps sets, books on tape Calculators, math manipulative, science equipment, math games

Read about it, write about it, listen to it

LogicalMathematical

Quantify it, Reflective think critically questioning about it, put it in a logical framework, experiment with it

Multiple Intelligences Eight Ways of Teaching

Intelligence Teaching Activities Teaching Materials Instructional Strategies Sample Teacher Presentation Skill Drawing, Mindmapping concepts

Spatial

Visual presentations, art activities, Imagination games, visualization, metaphor Hands on learning, drama, dance, sports that teach, tactile activities, relaxation exercises

Graphs, maps, videos, art materials, cameras, pictures, library

See it, draw it, visualize it, color it, mindmap it

Bodilykinesthetic

Building tools, clay , sports equipment, manipulative, tactile learning resources

Build it, act it Using gestures, out, touch it, get dramatic a gut feeling expressions of it, dance it

Multiple Intelligences Eight Ways of Teaching

Intelligence Teaching Activities Teaching Materials Instructional Strategies Sample Teacher Presentation Skill Using voice rhythmically

Musical

Rhythmic learning, rapping, using songs that teach Cooperative learning, peer tutoring, community involvement, social gatherings, simulation

Tape recorder, tape collection, musical instruments Board games, party supplies, props for role plays

Sing it, rap it, listen to it

Interpersonal

Teach it, Dynamically collaborate on interacting it, interact with students with respect to it

Multiple Intelligences Eight Ways of Teaching

Intelligence Teaching Activities Teaching Materials Instructional Strategies Sample Teacher Pres.

Intrapersonal

Individualized instruction, independent study, options in course of study, self esteem building
Nature study, ecological awareness, care of animals

Self checking materials, journals, materials for projects

Connect it to your personal life, make choices with regard to it, reflect on it

Bringing feeling into presentation

Naturalist

Plant, animals, naturalists tools, gardening tools

Connect to living things and natural phenomena

Linking subject matter to natural phenomena

TIME TO TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

As English teachers, write a lesson plan for

your class.
Include the M.I. as many as possible in your

lesson plan.
All The Best Teachers!!!
