Theory of multiple intelligences

In “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, Howard Gardner illustrates how there are a variety of intelligences. Gardner starts off with an example how IQ tests may predict achievement in school but may not predict achievement in life. After finding out certain parts of the brain are responsible for certain functions, such as “Broca’s Area” which is responsible for sentence production, Gardner proposes the existence of multiple intelligences. Multiple studies later led him to propose

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

Individualized Learning Among the many flaws that currently trouble our education system there is one that vividly stands out to me, and that is how our current system is threatening individualism. Our system is oriented towards being efficient to large groups of students and forgets to take into account how people have different interests, ideas, and ways of learning. Instead of being so centered on the amount of students that are being educated, its main concern should be the quality of education

Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. A human’s capacity to learn new skills has been researched and studied over the years. Everyone is unique and therefore hard to put into one simple category. Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences is one example of the possible ways a human can learn and comprehend their world. In his theory, Gardner has described 8 different capacities of learning ability. In applying his theory, personalized education could be created to tailor to everyone’s needs. Howard Gardner

My educational 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

proposed the intelligence theory with G factor, there were several other intelligence theories proposed in response or as an alternative to Spearman’s. Among those, Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory would be the most influential ones as they are widely accepted and used in real life. Both of the theories share a critical view towards the unitary perspective which is the traditional definition of intelligence. However, the two theories differ in which

contrast two theories of intelligence and discuss their implications for assessing intelligence. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the education system wanted to identify the students who were failing. In order to identify these students they commissioned Alfred Binet; a French physician. Binet was asked to devise a method which could differentiate between the students. Binet did this by developing an intelligence test (Chamorro-Premuzic, 2011:144). Previous intelligence tests had an emphasis

2.1; Theories on Intelligence The researchers during the era of psychometrics and behaviorism believed that intelligence is single, inherit entity. In contrary to this notion an increasing number of researchers and psychologists now believed that individuals are born with and possess different levels of ability. The researcher can support their argument by the use of intelligence tests. Gardner (1993) expresses this view elegantly, stating that “there exist a multitude of intelligence, quite independent

Gardner proposed a new sight of intelligence that has been highly received since its publication, so being incorporated in school curricula all over the country. Gardner suggests his theory of multiple intelligences, a theory that identified the dominant definition of intelligence as restricted to mathematical and linguistic abilities (verbal and computational intelligences). Gardner theorized that instead of just these two intelligences, a grouping of seven intelligences more correctly explains for

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 Gardner in 1983 to identify the multiple different types of human intellect. He theorized that each intelligence is evident in a
