• Seven Multiple Intelligences
– Linguistic
– Logic-mathematical
– Musical
– Spatial
– Bodily/kinesthetic
– interpersonal
Multiple Intelligences
• Linguistic– involves sensitivity to spoken and written
language– the ability to learn languages. – ability to effectively use language to
express oneself rhetorically or poetically– language as a means to remember
information.– Includes writers, speakers and lawyers.
Multiple Intelligences
• Logic-mathematical
– consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically
– carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.
– entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically.
– scientific and mathematical thinking.
Multiple Intelligences
• Musical– involves skill in the performance,
composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.
– encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.
– runs in an almost structural parallel to linguistic intelligence
Multiple Intelligences
• Spatial– involves the potential to recognize and
use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.
Multiple Intelligences
• Bodily/kinesthetic
– entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.
– ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements.
– sees mental and physical activity as related.
Multiple Intelligences
• Interpersonal– concerns the capacity to understand
the intentions, motivations and desires of other people.
– allows people to work effectively with others.
– Includes educators, salespeople, religious and political leaders and counselors.
Multiple Intelligences
• Intrapersonal
– entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations.
– involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.
Multiple Intelligences
• Two intelligences being considered
– Naturalist
– Moral
Multiple Intelligences-new
• Naturalistic
– enables human beings to recognize, categorize and draw upon certain features of the environment.
– combines a description of the core ability with a characterization of the role that many cultures value
Multiple Intelligences-new
• Moral
– is a concern with those rules, behaviors and attitudes that govern the sanctity of life - in particular, the sanctity of human life.
Impact on Education and Curriculum
• Curriculum and classroom design– Culture: support for diverse learners and
hard work. • maintains that diverse students can
learn and succeed, learning is exciting – Readiness: awareness-building for
implementing MI.• Builds staff awareness of MI and of
the different ways that students learn.
Impact on Education and Curriculum
• Curriculum and classroom design– Collaboration:
• Sharing ideas and constructive suggestions.
– Choice:• meaningful curriculum and assessment
options. Valued both by students and the wider culture.
– Arts. • develop skills and understanding within
and across disciplines
Impact on Education and Curriculum
• Questions IQ test as single intelligence evaluation
Applications to your classroom•
Be sure that you adapt your classroom space as best you can to the parameters of the lesson.– lecture– group work– roleplay
• Be prepared not only to encourage collaboration and "thinking outside the box," but also to maintain some control by setting specific boundaries for students.
Applications to your classroom
• One "answer" or outcome is not the only acceptable measure of a child's understanding. Different learners might grasp the concept in different ways. – Drawing, acting, speaking, writing
• Students need to have a clear understanding of how their work will be evaluated. Be sure to lay out the exact objectives and expectations of your lesson before beginning.
