Strengths And Weaknesses Of Multiple Intelligence In Learning

the classroom setting. There are many practices used to determine student learning styles, but I believe Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory helps identify all types of learning styles. For example, Gardner breaks down the learning styles into eight, more specific, multiple intelligences, which allows us, as educators, to more properly identify the unique learning needs of our students. The eight multiple intelligences are Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Musical/Rhythmic, Bodily/Kinesthetic

of Mind” this book introduced the theory of multiple intelligences (Armstrong). The theory of multiple intelligences challenged the conventional idea that intelligence could be measured and scored by a simple test giving us an “IQ” number. (Armstrong) The theory of multiple intelligences propounds that intelligence can be found in many forms and that different learning methods are required for different intelligences. Gardner identified 8 “intelligences”: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial

In this paper, I will give a brief overview of Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI). I will also discuss the merits and critiques of the theory in the field of cognitive development. I will also discuss the applicability of Gardner’s theory to my personal development. The final section will cover the application of the theory in a counselling framework. This will be supported by discussing theoretical orientations that would best adopt application of Gardner’s theory. Theoretical Overview

Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles In today’s society not everyone has heard of the theory of multiple intelligences however most people have heard of learning styles. Even in the education field, educators may not be able to correctly define both. Are multiple intelligences and learning styles two different names of the same thing? This paper will discuss their differences and similarities. According to Dunn, Denig, and Lovelace (2001) “Multiple

an approach. A combination of learning styles, or multiple intelligences, is required to teach successfully. The introduction of the multiple intelligence theory has positively benefitted teaching by encouraging educators to stimulate each student’s learning strength everyday; regardless of the traditional teaching methods more

our society. However, learning how to educate these individuals requires the attention and an adequate aptitude of the instructor. Many theorists recognize that students learn in different ways, and that no two students are exactly alike. Therefore, it is important to implement practical values from educational theories when instructing. Personality learning theories help to indicate how personality influences understanding in the classroom. The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Howard

University School of Medicine, and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero” (Gardner bio, Multiple Intelligences and Education, MI Theory, and Project Zero). As director of Project Zero, it provided and environment that Gardner could begin the exploration of human cognition (Multiple Intelligences and Education). Project Zero colleagues have been designing assessment and the use of multiple intelligences (MI) to realize more personalized curriculum, instruction, and teaching methods; and the quality

adolescents are based on obtaining a profile of the child’s learning weaknesses as well as his or her strengths. When an educational assessment is performed on the adolescent, a counselor can determine academic potential, collect observational interview data, and can better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the adolescents. In tests, there are two main classes such as the achievement tests or

To improve my naturalistic intelligence, I should construct a garden to familiarize myself with different types of flowers and soil. I should also go outside and go on hikes more to get entwine with nature. To enhance my visual intelligence, I could play chess and puzzles. Perhaps participate in activities that will need me to relay on my creativity. To enrich my verbal/linguistic intelligence, I could read more, write more, and increase my vocabulary by adding

regarding students learning styles, readiness level, and what hinders the student from learning. Creating instructions take time due to students having different learning styles. Collecting data will help support the differentiated instructions that teachers will use in the classroom to ensure all students have the capabilities to gain the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in the classroom. Before gathering data on students, teachers must be aware of their strengths and weaknesses to be able to
