Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner distinguishes eight domains of ability in his theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI). Briefly discuss each of these intelligences and explain how you will apply any four of the intelligences to your classroom.
Howard Gardner believed that intelligence was made up of multiple components. He distinguished between eight different types of intelligences, and maintained that they are independent of each other. Each separate system of intelligence can interact with others to produce intelligent performance.
The eight different types of intelligences are namely: Verbal-Linguistic intelligence, Logical-Mathematical intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, …show more content…
They like to be in groups and be surrounded by friends, they learn best in group work, interviewing, comparing, cooperating and sharing their ideas.
Intrapersonal intelligent students understand themselves well and can recognise their own strengths and weaknesses. They are good goal setters and tend to do well working alone and reflecting whilst perusing their own interests. They learn best through self-paced projects, reflection work, and having their own space to work on their own.
Naturalist intelligent students understand nature, they like identifying flora, fauna and different species in nature. They like and learn best working with nature and exploring. They enjoy learning about plants and natural events.
