This document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. It begins by introducing Gardner and his proposal of eight intelligences instead of just one general intelligence. It then defines each of the eight intelligences - linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Examples are given for each intelligence of related jobs, classroom activities, and ways of learning. The document suggests that teachers present lessons in a variety of ways using the different intelligences and that students learn in different ways depending on their strongest intelligences.

4. “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.”

Howard
Gardner
1983
Frames of Mind
The theory of multiple intelligences
is a theory of intelligence that
differentiates intelligence into
specific 'modalities', rather than
seeing intelligence as dominated
by a single general ability. This
model was proposed by Howard
Gardner in his 1983 book Frames
of Mind: The Theory of Multiple
Intelligences. Gardner articulated
eight criteria for a behavior to be
considered an intelligence.
Verbal/Linguistic
Intelligence
“word smart”
Logical-mathematical
Intelligence
“number/reasoning
smart”
Visual/Spatial
Intelligence
“picture smart”
Bodily/Kinesthetic
Intelligence
“body smart”
Musical/Rhythmic
Intelligence
“music smart”
Interpersonal
Intelligence
“people smart”
Intrapersonal
Intelligence
“self smart”
Naturalist
Intelligence
“nature smart”

15. Multiple Intelligence
Why we need MIs
Dr. Gardner says that, our schools and culture focus most of their
attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. We
esteem the highly articulate or logical people of our culture.
However, Dr. Gardner says that we should also place equal
attention on individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences.
Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts don’t receive
much reinforcement for them in school. Many of these kids, in fact,
end up being labeled ‘learning disabled’, ‘ADD’ (Attention Deficit
Disorder), or simply underachievers, when their unique ways of
thinking and learning aren’t addressed by a heavily linguistic or
logical mathematical classroom.”

16. Multiple Intelligences Theory
What does the theorysuggest?
16
The theory of multiple intelligences
proposes a major transformation in
the way our schools are run.
It suggests that teachers be trained
to present their lessons and carry
out projects in a wide variety of
ways using music, cooperative
learning, art activities, role play,
multimedia, field trips, inner
reflection, technology and much
more.

17. How to Teach or Learn in
8 Different Ways
17
One of the most remarkable features of the
theory of multiple intelligences is how it
provides eight different potential pathways to
learning.
If a teacher is having difficulty reaching a
student in the more traditional linguistic or
logical ways of instruction, the theory of
multiple intelligences suggests several other
ways in which the material might be presented
to facilitate effective learning.

20. Multiple Intelligence in the Classroom
Classroom activities frequently activate and utilize
more than one of the multiple intelligences.
- Group discussion - Verbal-Linguistic; Interpersonal
- Journalwriting - Intrapersonal; Verbal/Linguistic
- Choreography- Musical-Rhythmic; Verbal-Linguistic; Interpersonal
- Constructing timelines - Logical-Mathematical; Visual-Spatial
- Putting on a play - Musical-Rhythmic;Verbal/Linguistic; Interpersonal; Visual-
Spatial
- Making a video - Logical-Mathematical, Musical-Rhythmic;Verbal/Linguistic;
Interpersonal; Visual-Spatial
- Writing a report or essay - Verbal-Linguistic
- Making graphs - Logical-Mathematical; Visual-Spatial
- Designing posters- Verbal-Linguistic, Visual-Spatial
- Communicating with peers or experts online - Verbal-Linguistic; Interpersonal
- Hands-on experimentation - Kinesthetic; Logical/Mathematical
- Composing a song - Musical/Rhythmic; Verbal-Linguistic
- Building a modelor 3-D displays - Kinesthetic; Logical-Mathematical

21. Teaching Example
21
For example, if you’re teaching or learning about
the law of supply and demand, you might ;
- Read about it (linguistic)
- Study mathematical formulas that express it (logical/mathematical)
- Examine a graphic chart that illustrates the principle (spatial)
- Observe the law in the natural world (naturalist)
- Observe the law in the human world of commerce (interpersonal)
- Examine the law in terms of your own body, e.g. when you supply
your body with lots of food, the hunger demands goes down;
when there’s very little supply, your stomach’s demand for food
goes way up and you get hungry (bodily-kinesthetic/intrapersonal)
- Write a song that demonstrates the law (musical)

22. Project Activity Example
22
For example, if you’re running
an eTwinning Project about any
topic with a topic in your school
curriculum, you might ;
Involve all the students in your
class in the project activities by
grouping the students according to
their learning styles. HOW ?
