According to Gardner, intelligences cannot be considered separately because there is a lot of an interaction amongst the various kinds and normally undertaking a simple task entails more than one. Educators should be careful that every child has all eight intelligences, but they function differently in different people because their operation solely depends on environmental, genetic and cultural factors. Some learners are highly developed in respect of a particular intelligence, some moderately so and others are poorly developed.…
An important thing to understand is that Gardner’s theory does not put anyone in a “box”; it allows people to see how they shine in many directions, and helps to highlight those intelligences that are more dominant. His theory allows you to double dip, and find your strengths in more than one area.…
Gardner believed in multiple intelligences, which included eight aspects including spatial, linguistic, logic, math related, bodily kinesthetic, musical interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Multiple intelligences is the idea that rather than having one single intelligence that is used in multiple areas, we have many different independent intelligences. Breaking down all of these aspects into a study will provide much more accurate interpretations of intelligences rather than a more broad ones like Sternbergs three aspects. One flaw I found with multiple intelligence is that there are so many factors that it isn’t as applicable to the general population today. Also, Gardeners theory…
Howard Gardner’s most popular theory is the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. It was proposed in 1983 as a model of intellectual capability that distinguishes intelligence into various specific theories. Like someone who learns to multiply faster than another person isn’t automatically smarter. Someone who takes more time to master simple multiplication 1) may learn best under a different approach, 2) may be better in a different area of studies, 3) may be looking at and understanding the multiplication process at a deeper level, or as an entirely different method. A deeper understanding can look like slowness and can hide the mathematical intelligence possibly higher than that of the other child.…
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences utilizes aspects of cognitive and developmental psychology, anthropology, and sociology to explain the human intellect. Although Gardner had been working towards the concept of Multiple Intelligences for many years prior, the theory was introduced in 1983, with Gardner's book, Frames of Mind.…
Gardner was educational psychologist in last century, his theory of intelligence is that human has different sorts of abilities on intelligence, not only logical-mathematical ability and language understanding are parts of consideration for intelligence, but also musical-rhythmic ability, visual-spatial ability, bodily-kinesthetic ability, self—questioning ability, existential knowledge and interpersonal ability should be included in the definition of intelligence. His claim is not supported in the psychology circle but is welcome in the field of education.…
Instead of focusing on the analysis of test scores, Gardner proposed that numerical expressions of human intelligence are not a full and accurate depiction of people's abilities. His theory describes eight distinct intelligences that are based on skills and abilities that are valued within different cultures.…
There are many ways a human being learns. Many theories have been formulated to explain how we do just that. Gardner's theory of how we learn, is that there is a biological source and cultural source. Biological source means particular types of intelligences and cultural source means particular reasons or needs for learning. Gardner feels, that there is certain parts of the brain that are access points for seven different types of learning. Gardner’s seven different intelligence's are Logical‐Mathematical Intelligence, Linguistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily‐Kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Intrapersonal Intelligence. In the paragraphs that follow, I will talk about two of the seven intelligences that most closely apply to myself.…
In 1983 Howard Gardner came up with seven intelligences, and recently he added a new one; naturalist intelligence. When this describes a person it…
To defend his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner developed eight indicators that would define an intelligence. Some of the indicators were potential isolation of the intelligence by brain damage (for example, a stroke), evidence that the intelligence has developed though evolutionary…
The eight different intelligences described by Gardner are what he believed to be the eight strengths in which a person can learn. Gardner believed that because everyone can learn in one of these eight different styles, then they could excel in any of the respective fields. A person who possesses a linguistic intelligence is described as someone who uses words and communication effectively. A person with linguistic intelligence would have excellent auditory skills, and translates everything into words or speech. On the other hand, someone who possesses the learning style of spatial intelligence would be most comfortable with graphics, physical imagery, and visuals (Campbell, 1992). However, someone with a preference to the kinesthetic style of learning would be most comfortable with being hands…
Human beings all have a list of skills and devices that are used in our everyday lives so we can solve different kinds of problems that we deal with. People use multiple intelligences since the day they were born into this world. We have never thought about how we use them in our daily lives because they are used naturally. Gardner defines intelligence as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting". Using biological as well as cultural research, he formulated a list of seven intelligences. The seven intelligences include interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical intelligence, and mathematical intelligence.…
more than the traditional three ways to learn. It means that people have more ability than what…
Gardner’s Theory supports the research that states separate parts of the brain are responsible for specific intelligences, but they work in conjunction with each other to learn and accomplish new tasks. This is significant because each part of the brain and its intelligence can rely on other parts of the brain to get problems solved.…
