1. List the three types of Learning Styles we discussed in our last class.

2. Describe each learning style. (How does each learning style prefer to learn?)

3. In your own words, define “intelligence”.

Multiple Intelligences

“The question is not ‘How smart are you?’ It’s ‘How are you smart?”

Intelligence:

• “An ability to solve problems and/or create products.”

Dr. Howard Gardner

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES• “The theory of multiple intelligences was

developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University.

• It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.”

It has been claimed by some researchers that our intelligence or ability to understand the world around us is complex.

• Simply put:

• Some people are better at understanding some things than others.

We all have our strengths…

• For some of us it is relatively easy to understand how a flower grows-but it is immensely difficult for us to understand and use a musical instrument.

Maybe music is your thing, and football is definitely not…• For others

music might be easy, but playing football is difficult.
