Multiple Intelligences workshop for primaryteachers

New Delhi

After years of research, Howard Gardner proposed a new theory anddefinition of intelligence in his book, Frames of Mind (1983), The Theoryof Multiple Intelligences. He is best known for his work in the area ofMultiple Intelligences, which has been a career-long pursuit, to understandand describe the construct of intelligence. Most people are not totalgeniuses . Everyone is blessed with a mixture of several abilities from

different intelligence types. To a large degree it is this mixture thatdetermines uniqueness.

Teachers need to understand this and create opportunities of learningaccordingly so that teachers can help students identify their strengthsand no child is left behind, thus helping teachers to become innovativeeducators.The workshop clearly illustrated the reasons why the theoryof multiple intelligence should be used every day. To construct theteaching- learning process in a way to strengthen learning and make itmeaningful.

The presentation was well- researched and intelligently executed. It

was designed for teachers so that they are enabled to incorporate theconcept in their lesson plans and their teaching. Hands-on activities keptthe participants engaged, motivating fresh ideas to use in classroomteaching practice.Gardner proposed that there are eight intelligences,namely, Linguistic -words and language; Logical-Mathematical logic andnumbers; Musical music, sound, rhythm; Bodily-Kinesthetic- bodymovement control; Spatial-Visual images and space; Interpersonal otherpeoples feelings; trapersonal self-awareness

Teachers of each subject conducted activities illustrating how subjectlearning could be made interesting for students with diverse interests byincorporating activities that include different intelligences.
