Abstract
Developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner the theory of multiple intelligences was created to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. The theory of multiple intelligences focused on nine strengths and was conducted into a survey which determined my strengths of multiple intelligence. This paper is an overview on the nine multiple intelligences and different learning styles. Incorporating his or her style of learning and teaching can assist in creating a stable classroom environment. This paper will conclude with a reflection on how my learning and teaching style will be introduced into the classroom.
Multiple Intelligences paper Going into a classroom for the first time could be overbearing and difficult, that’s why it is important to maintain a particular teaching style. The theory of multiple intelligences has a strong impact on how adults learn and develop their way of thinking. Many adults find themselves working at jobs that does not allow them to use their most highly developed intelligences. For instance, a person whom is bodily kinesthetic and stuck in a logical desk job would be much happier at a job that allows them to move around. Adults can look at life in a new perspective, while examining potentials that they left in the past, by applying the theory of intelligence into everyday life. The multiple intelligence survey consisted of nine pathways to potential learning. Teachers sometimes have difficulties reaching students in a traditional linguistic or logical way of instruction, that’s why multiple intelligences suggest several ways to facilitate effective learning. It does not matter what grade level a subject is being taught on there will always be guidelines that would apply. The intelligences that the survey focused on were Naturalistic, Musical, Logical,
