What is intelligence?

Capacity to learn and the

ability to apply that learning

Usually reported as intelligence

WRONG CONCEPTS ABOUT INTELLIGENCE

Intelligence is fixed

Each individual has only one type of intelligence

WHAT IS THEMULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE THEORY? Each individual has at least eight

(nine) intelligences at different developmental levels

The different intelligences function together in a complex manner

Intelligence can be developed and changes throughout life

THE NINE INTELLIGENCES

1. Linguistic 2. Logical-mathematical 3. Visual Spatial 4. Bodily-kinesthetic 5. Musical 6. Interpersonal 7. Intrapersonal 8. Naturalis 9. Spiritual

Linguistic

Expresses itself in words, both written & oral, & in auditory skills.

Can learn by listening. Like to read, write & speak, & like to play with

words.

Logical-Mathematical

Includes scientific ability. Often called as ‘critical thinking’. Like to do things with data; they see patterns

and relationships. Like to solve math problems & play strategy

games. Tend to use graphic organisers both to please

themselves & to present their information to others.

Highly valued in our technological society.

Visual Spatial

Tend to think in pictures & learn best from visual presentations such as movies, pictures, videos & demonstrations using models & props.

Like to draw, paint or sculpt their ideas & often represent moods & feelings through art.

Good at reading maps & diagrams, & enjoy solving mazes & putting together jigsaw puzzles.

Often experienced & expressed through daydreaming, imagining & pretending.

Kinesthetic

Process information through the sensations they feel in their bodies.

They like to move around, act things out & touch the people they are talking to.

Good at both small & large muscle skills & enjoy physical activities & sports of all kinds.

Prefer to communicate information by demonstration or modeling.

Express emotion & mood through dance.

Musical

Sensitive to sounds, environmental as well as musical. Often sing, whistle or hum while engaging in other

activities. Love to listen to music; may collect CDs & tapes, often

play an instrument. Sing on key & can remember & vocally reproduce

melodies. Move rhythmically in time to activity or make up

rhythms & songs to help them remember facts & other information.

Interpersonal

Enjoys friends & social activities of all kinds & is reluctant to be alone.

Enjoy working in groups, learn while interacting & cooperating, & often serve as mediators in case of disputes, both in a school situation & at home.

Cooperative learning strategy could have been designed just for them.

Intrapersonal

Shown through a deep awareness of inner feelings.

Allows people to understand themselves, their abilities & their options.

Independent & self-directed & have strong opinions on controversial subjects.

Great sense of self-confidence & enjoy working on their own projects & just being alone.

Naturalist

Focuses on individual’s ability “to recognize & discriminate among flora & fauna & other things in the world like clouds & rocks.

Spiritual

The capacity to raise and reflect on philosophical questions about life, death, and ultimate realities.

existential intelligence, moral intelligence The aptitude to reflect on fundamental

questions of existence.

Observation of pupils when studying

Activities pupils like to do during free time

Achievement records and reports

Intelligence profiles of pupils

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCEImplications in education

1. Helps students obtain skills for new millennium

2. Form understanding of student motivation

3. Helps teacher understand influences on students’ intelligence

4. Set up schools that accept and appreciate the different intelligences among students

How can you incorporate multiple intelligences in the

teaching and learning process?

Teaching & learning strategies

Cooperative Collaborative Contextual Project-based Problem based Use of ICT Inquiry & discovery

Questions that can help when preparing lessons

VERBAL-LINGUISTIC

How can I use verbal and written language?

LOGICAL MATHEMATICAL

How can I use numbers. calculations, classification, critical thinking?

VISUAL-SPATIAL

How can I use teaching aids that use visualization, art, color and graphic organizers?

MUSIC

How can I use music, sounds, rhythmic elements and melody?

Questions that can help when preparing lessons

KINESTHETIC

How can I incorporate movement and hands on activities?

INTERPERSONAL

How can I involve pupils in group work, peer sharing?

INTRAPERSONAL

How can I encourage pupils to do self introspection about their feelings/

NATURALIS

How can I bring nature into the classroom or take pupils out into natural environment?

Ways multiple intelligences can be incorporated in the classroom

1. MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE STATIONS Each station has

certain elements E.g. Naturalist station

can have flora and fauns

The stations can be created using themes or intelligences in rotation if space not enough

EXAMPLE:

Intrapersonal Station

Station away from noise and disturbance

Pupils can be give ear plugs so its quiet and they can read, write, think and do self reflection

2. CLASSROOM DECORATIONS

Decorate classroom with information that can be appreciated by each intelligence

E.g. Verbal linguistic pupils can prepare posters about famous authors

E.g. Logical mathematical

Models of shapes and formulas

Examples of money from different countries

+-

3. FIELD TRIPS

Taking pupils out for trips to different places to observe and understand different intelligences

E.g. Music trip

Taking pupils to listen to Philharmonic Orchestra

Taking pupils to recording studios to see how radio programs are produced.

4. CLASSROOM RESOURCES

For each subject many resources can be integrated into lesson to increase pupil

interest

CLASSROOM RESOURCES

KINESTHETIC Balls Umbrella Building Kits Stop watch Rattan Hoops Robotic Kits

INTERPERSONAL Biographies Role play cards Board games Birthday charts

How to evaluate?

 

 

    

 

Projects and products

Performance, presentation and demonstration

Video recording, photographs, CD

How to evaluate?

Problem solving and experiments

Reports, folios, portfolios and exhibition

Observation in intelligence stations

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

We are all able to know the world through language, logical mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things and an understanding of ourselves and others. Individuals differ in the strength of these intelligences

Howard Gardner, 1991

Homework

Identify a science activity you would do with children. Discuss how you can teach the same concepts using different multiple intelligences.
