Multiple Intelligences: The Theory
• Pluralistic view of the mind
• People have different cognitive strengths and contrasting cognitive styles
• There are biological links to particular intelligences
What Is An Intelligence?
• Raw, biological potentials
• Each must have an identifiable core operation or set of operations
Linguistic Intelligence
• Sensitivity to phonological features
• A specific part of the brain is responsible for grammatical sentences
Linguistic Examples
Poets such as T. S. EliotJournalists and Writers
Intrapersonal Intelligence
• A correlative ability turned inward• A capacity to form an accurate
model of oneself and be able to use that model to operate effectively in one’s life
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
• The logical and mathematical ability as well as scientific ability
• Examples: scientists, mathematicians
Spatial Intelligence
• The ability to form a mental model of a spatial world and be able to maneuver and operate using that model.
• Examples: Sailors, engineers, surgeons, sculptors,and painters
Musical Intelligence
• Sensitivity to pitch relations
• Examples:• Musicians and
composers
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
• Ability to solve problems using one’s whole body.
• Examples: Dancers, athletes, surgeons, and craftspeople
Interpersonal Intelligence
• Ability to understand other people, what motivates them, how they work, and how to work cooperatively with them.
• Examples: politicians, teachers, and clinicians.
The Multiple Intelligence School
• Based on:• Not all people have the same interests and
abilities and not all of us learn in the same way. No one person can learn everything• When I plan my lessons I take these
assumptions into consideration. Inside my lesson plan book I have a Multiple Intelligences Smart Card which gives me activities I can do that address specific intelligences.
Educational Implications
• Curriculum should be presented in a plethora of ways
• Assessment of students should be developmentally appropriate
My Personal Philosophy
• I believe children have individual learning styles and every child can learn.
• I agree with the theory of multiple intelligences and have seen evidence of these intelligences in my classroom with my children.
