3 THEMES
12. HOWARD GARDNER

expands our definition of intelligence.

“a biological and
psychological potential; that
potential is capable of being
realized to a greater or lesser
extent as a consequence of

tests and many
other similar
assessments.

Many careers are governed by multiple intelligences as we capitalize on our strengths in life.
The theory of multiple intelligences is Howard Gardner’s theory that proposes that people are not born with all of the intelligence they will ever have. He breaks down eight different “intelligences” to categorize talents and skills
Intelligence, as defined by Gardner, is the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are valuable in one or more cultural settings.
“Eight kinds of intelligence would allow seven ways to teach, rather than one.” We can improve education by addressing the multiple intelligences of our students.
. It says that intelligence can be learned throughout life.
Most early theories about the nature of intelligence involved one or more of the following 3 themes:
Gardner stresses that there may be more kinds of intelligence - 8 is not a magic number. Gardner speculated that there may be a spiritual intelligence and existential intelligence – the abilities to contemplate big questions about the meaning of life (2003).
This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner (1991).
An advantage of Gardner’s perspective is that it expands teachers’ thinking about abilities and avenues for teaching.
The 8 intelligences are not independent; there are correlations among the abilities.
Reasoning, calculating. Think conceptually, abstractly and are able to see and explore patterns and relationships. They like to experiment, solve puzzles, ask cosmic questions. They can be taught through logic games, investigations, mysteries. They need to learn and form concepts before they can deal with details.
Spatial intelligence is the brain’s ability to perceive and interpret visual stimuli.
Build in adequate opportunities for students who are linguistic learners and for those who feel artistically inhibited.
They can be taught through drawings, verbal and physical imagery. Tools include models, graphics, charts, photographs, drawings, 3-D modeling, video, videoconferencing, television, multimedia, texts with pictures/charts/graphs.
It is expertise in using one’s whole body to express ideas and feelings.
Examples: acting, dancing, sports, and using body language
They like movement, making things, touching. They communicate well through body language and be taught through physical activity, hands-on learning, acting out, role playing. Tools include equipment and real objects.
Being musically intelligent means that you are able to distinguish the sounds around you and that you have the ability to make your own melodies.
They love music, but they are also sensitive to sounds in their environments. They may study better with music in the background. They can be taught by turning lessons into lyrics, speaking rhythmically, tapping out time. Tools include musical instruments, music, radio, stereo, CD-ROM, multimedia.
Being musically intelligent means that you are able to distinguish the sounds around you and that you have the ability to make your own melodies.
These learners have highly developed auditory skills and often think in words. They like reading, playing word games, making up poetry or stories. They can be taught by encouraging them to say and see words, read books together. Tools include computers, games, multimedia, books, tape recorders, and lecture.
If you have strong naturalistic intelligence you might learn better by
Interpersonal is understanding other people. It’s an ability we all need, but is at a premium if you are a teacher, clinician, salesperson, or a politician. Anybody who deals with other people has to be skilled in the interpersonal sphere.
Be sensitive to the students who need to be alone in order to create, to learn, or just to be.
They have many friends, empathy for others, street smarts. They can be taught through group activities, seminars, dialogues. Tools include the telephone, audio conferencing, time and attention from the instructor, video conferencing, writing, computer conferencing, E-mail.
This intelligence includes having an accurate picture of oneself (one’s strengths and weaknesses); awareness of inner moods, intentions, motivations, temperaments, and desires; and the capacity for self-discipline, self-understanding, and self-esteem. Essentially, it’s how well you know yourself.
These learners tend to shy away from others. They're in tune with their inner feelings; they have wisdom, intuition and motivation, as well as a strong will, confidence and opinions. They can be taught through independent study and introspection. Tools include books, creative materials, diaries, privacy and time. They are the most independent of the learners.
