Learning Styles: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Multiple intelligence theory and learning styles According to my multiple intelligence learning 'profile,' I am an equally strong kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and existential learner. This suggests I learn by doing, learn best working with others, and have a 'big picture' orientation. I seek what works in practice rather than theory. In my view, the fact that I received the same score in all three areas is indicative of the similarity between these different types of intelligences. For example, existential…

Theory of Multiple Intelligence Theory of Multiple Intelligence Intelligence is defined as the mental ability of a person to learn and understand effectively and efficiently what is happening around. If any person is considered good enough in communication, understanding and learning, logical reasoning, facts and figures, general knowledge, ability to interpret information and other alike mental activities which account for personal growth, we say that he/she is wise and intelligent. Unfortunately…

philosophy is influenced by Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. According to Gardner, intelligence is 1) The ability to create an effective product or offer a service that is valued in a culture, 2) a set of skills that make it possible for a person to solve problems in life, and 3) the potential for finding or creating solutions for problems, which involves gathering new knowledge. Gardner 1 builds upon Benjamin Bloom’s earlier work on learning taxonomies and they both encourage a more…

a document that outlined his theory about multiple intelligences. He believes that everyone has eight different intelligences that, those being linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence, with the last one being added later in 1999. Even though everyone has each of these intelligences his theory advises that everyone exceeds…

persons life they attend some type of school, class or learning facility. Whether it is at school, home or any other place that one would be taught a subject or lesson. While attending a class or lecture each person that is their to learn will grasp the concept of the lesson in a different way and gain a different amount of knowledge and understanding on the topic no matter what. This reason being is every one has a different way of learning. Just as each individual is different in their own way…

Neuroscience and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences: Implications for Education The old paradigm of students as empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge has given way to the constructivist belief that students continuously build understandings based on their prior experiences and information. The idea of a fixed intelligence has given way to a more flexible perception of gradual intellectual development dependent on external stimulation (6) Our intelligence, therefore, is our singular…

Different learning styles are used by different people, with different levels of intelligence and ability. The different learning styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. There are many others depending on who you ask, but those are the basic ones. Depending on how a person is raised, how they individually prefer to learn, and their learning ability. However, if a teacher uses the wrong learning style with a student, it may make the student feel like they cannot learn or that they are inferior…

Aristotle and Hippocrates recorded theories on personality (Ellis, 2009). Some educators are seeing students benefiting by incorporating Learning Style and Multiple Intelligence theories in the classroom. By applying various learning styles and Multiple Intelligence theories in education, students are more likely to be motivated to learn at a deeper level. Intelligence is dominated by a single general ability and uses several different classifications for intelligence: Musical, Visual, Verbal,…

LEARNING STYLE 4 My learning style: An overview of using multiple intelligences and a discussion of my own learning style The idea that everyone 'learns differently' has become a kind of truism amongst the educational community. This concept seems to intuitively 'jive' with what most teachers and students experience on an intuitive level when interacting in the classroom. Some students are kinesthetic learners. They fidget in their seats and have trouble listening to a lecture, but they come to…

Theory of multiple intelligences The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 as a model of intelligence that differentiates intelligence into various specific (primarily sensory) modalities[disambiguation needed], rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability. Gardner argues that there is a wide range of cognitive abilities, and that there are only very weak correlations among them. For example, the theory predicts that a child who learns to multiply…
