2. Multiple Intelligencesby Howard Gardner What is it?
Impact on curriculum
Impact on instruction
Issues with M.I.
3. What is intelligence? According to Gardner, intelligence is
the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural settings (Gardner & Hatch, 1989)
all societies value different types of intelligences (Gardner, 1983)
4. Howard Gardner proposes that there is not a single intelligence, but rather that there are nine, maybe more: Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
Naturalist intelligence
Existential intelligence (Smith, 2002)
5. Howard Gardner claims we all possess all of these intelligences but in varying degrees of strength, skill and limitation
just as we all look different and have unique personalities and temperaments, we also have different profiles of intelligences
no one kind of intelligence is better than another
each intelligence has its own sphere of expertise
intelligences are independent of each another.
6. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
7. Linguistic Intelligence often called verbal/linguistic intelligence
having mastery of language
ability to manipulate language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically
use language as a means to remember information
8. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
9. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically
often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking
10. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
11. Visual / Spatial Intelligence gives one the ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems
this intelligence is not limited to visual domains
Gardner notes that spatial intelligence is also formed in blind children.
12. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
13. Musical Intelligence encompasses the capability to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms
auditory functions are required for a person to develop this intelligence in relation to pitch and tone, but it is not needed for the knowledge of rhythm
14. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
15. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence ability of ones one mental abilities to coordinate ones own bodily movements
this intelligence challenges the popular belief that mental and physical activity are unrelated
16. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
17. Interpersonal Intelligence ability to recognize feelings, intentions and motivations of others
18. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
19. Intrapersonal Intelligence ability to understand ones own feelings and motivations
ability to use that information to regulate ones own life
20. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
Naturalist intelligence
21. Naturalist Intelligence ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other objects in nature
22. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
Naturalist intelligence
Existential intelligence
23. Existential Intelligence sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence (i.e., the meaning of life? why do we die? how did we get here?)
24. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence
Logical/Mathematical intelligence
Visual/Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
Naturalist intelligence
Existential intelligence
25. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences, still being examined. Spiritual intelligence
Moral intelligence
26. Spiritual Intelligence ability to grasp cosmic and transcendent truths
depends on affective characteristics
we have as yet no scientifically reliable way of investigating such traits.
precursor to existential intelligence
27. Moral Intelligence is a concern with those rules, behaviours and attitudes that govern the sanctity of life in particular, the sanctity of human life and, in many cases, the sanctity of any other living creatures and the world they inhabit (Gardner, 1999)
Gardner believes, that until we accept the existence of a moral realm is it then possible to speak of moral intelligence
if we speak of a moral code then Gardner cannot accept the term moral intelligence
28. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum Gardners theory states that all seven intelligences are needed to functions in society
implies that educators should recognize and teacher to a broader range of talents and skills
29. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum a deeper understanding of curriculum material takes place when more intelligences are incorporated
curriculum needs to facilitate the interconnections between the intelligences
30. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum providing opportunities for assessment of students using their stronger intelligences gives an better idea of their knowledge of the material
Student portfolios, independent projects, student journals and assigning creative tasks (Lazear, 1992)
31. Multiple Intelligences Impacton the Instruction teachers can demonstrate to students how they can use their stronger intelligence in understanding a subject which usually uses their weaker intelligence
similar to the idea of teaching style and learning style
32. Multiple Intelligences Impacton the Instruction allows educators to reflect on the curriculum and their pedagogy to better meet the needs of their students
material to be learnt in authentic environments
utilise mentoring with experts in the area of development
33. Multiple Intelligences Impacton the Instruction education needs to be embedded in all aspects of society
educators need to instruct the same subject in different ways to accommodate students with different intelligence strengths
34. Issues with M.I. are musical and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences more like talents
lack of empirical data to support Gardners work
development of tests to develop norms for them
lack of tests to measure specific intelligences (Gilman, 2001)
time required to teach subject to activate or promote differing intelligences
35. Issues with M.I. how do primarily urban children fare in the naturalist intelligence
how many intelligences will there be
