Theory of multiple intelligences

How is intelligence measured? How is it possible to just have one way to measure intelligence? Is there really only one way to measure every individual’s intelligence? According to psychologists Howard Gardner and Robert Sternberg there is. Gardner and Sternberg have developed two different theories to do so. Howard Gardner’s theory of intelligence is the way in which one carries out life goals. Gardner chose eight abilities that held to meet criteria: linguistic (speak and write well), logical-mathematical

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 Gardner’s theory of MI offers an alternative

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,

Chapter Two Literature review The following literature and readings were gathered from a number of expert researchers on differentiated instructions, multiple intelligences and strategies used to effectively implement them. Terms used in study Accommodations- Specific and individualized instructional, environmental and assessment teaching strategies required for a student to meet curriculum expectations for a grade/course.

When I first started my art class I could not find a reason to get excited about it and I was not very confident about my art skills, so I wasn’t sure what I would get out of the class. As the class progressed I realized it wasn’t all about drawing and creating art project but also about the importance of the History of Art being taught in the classroom no matter what cultural or economic backgrounds the students come from. When one refers to Art education they are referring to education in the

The theory has both advantages as well as disadvantages. There are so many questions and comments to the theory in which Gardener himself has attempted to respond at individual levels. The theory is responsible for changing the way how students react and think critically in a given situation. Teachers may provide a simple assessment to inform the child about the specific skills he or she has which may change the behavior in the future. With the help of available skill, teachers can emphasize the

Understanding To me, interdisciplinary inquiry means using two or more disciplines to prove/answer a theory and/or problem. According to Interdisciplinary Research: Process and Theory, interdisciplinary studies is “a process of answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession” (Repko, 2011, p. 14). In my study, I would use the following disciplines: education, social science, and economics

of students. However it is interesting that older students math and reading performance enhances. Section Two A. Howard Gardner is the author Frames of Mind who is best known for his Theory of Multiple Intelligences which consist of 8 intelligences. From all the 8 intelligences I believe Interpersonal Intelligence is my strongest because I

teaching also does not encourage creativity and intellect in non-logical and mathematical categories such as art, music, and dance. The validation of the legitimacy of multiple intelligence stems from the fact that the mere existence of skills in liberal arts contradict the belief that everyone has a single, universal intelligence in logic and math. This matter was also addressed in a 2003 study constructed by Rhonda D. Farkas, a professor at the School of Science and Technology in New York, to determine

scaffolding facilitates and supports meaning making in children’s play. First, the essay will briefly introduce the concept of scaffolding and its importance in children’s development. The essay will then explore various early childhood educational theories that support or acknowledge the role played by scaffolding, the view of children as learners
