All my life I have gone around doing things how I view them correct. The thing is I have never really taken the time to actually think about what I am actually doing, why I am doing what I 'm doing, and even how I am doing what I am doing. Throughout our lives, we are constantly asked what we like and or what we are good at, we usually answer with something like “I don 't know” or with something we enjoy such as art or music. There is so much more to us than just one single word and is why…
I had never heard of the theory of multiple intelligences and I had no previous knowledge about Howard Gardner. It was really interesting to learn about him, his life and his theory. I think there is many good points in the theory of multiple intelligences, and I think it was important for me to learn about this theory because it has influenced education and thinking in the United States. Gardner’s theory suggests that the traditional view of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is inadequate.…
As educators, we perceive the challenge to comply with the responsibility to accommodate diverse or different socioeconomic, cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders in an inclusive classroom. My aim is to deal with this multiplicity in the classroom by increasing my cultural knowledge, doing this I can obtain a more complete perspective of my students, which will help me provide them an invaluable insight into their behaviors to design effective rules and routines, As well, I will help…
For example, Gardner (1993, 2011) suggested that there are nine distinct intelligences that form his multiple intelligence theory. Gardner argued that his nine intelligences are many forms of mental ability that are completely independent from each other. Besides ‘common’ intelligences like verbal, mathematical and spatial abilities, Gardner also introduced…
Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory changed the idea of learning drastically. Many people believed you could only learn one way, by listening to a teacher lecture in front of the classroom. Tests like IQ tests determined how smart you were. How can you define intelligence? Howard Gardner defines it as “a biopsychological potential to process information in certain kinds of ways, in order to solve problems or create products that are valued in one or more cultural settings” (Gardner…
Multiple intelligence, what is it and how do we determine how to measure such a thing? There are many different components that make-up multiple intelligence and there have been several different ways to measure what our multiple intelligence is. When it comes to Lynn Waterhouse she believes that multiple intelligence theory and other theories such as the Mozart Effect and Emotional Intelligence, that these types of theories should not be practiced in a classroom that they have no effect on a…
a controversial topic for many years. What is intelligence? Who has it? How do you measure it? Is there more than one type of intelligence? There are many theories that explain “intelligence”. Some theories of intelligence are Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, Sternberg’s theory of triarchic intelligence, and Cattell’s theory of intelligence, and many others have been proposed throughout the years. Many views have been brought up and many names are known because of the complexity that…
Many people grow up wanting children and starting a family. I didn’t grow up only wanting a family, I grew up wanting a classroom of children as my family. In early childhood education there are many mile stones that children need to be at a certain age. Have you ever wondered where those mile stones came from? Well the different mile stones came from all different people, but the theories behind those mile stones did come from specific people. One of the theorists were Howard Gardner, he came…
An Intelligent Idea or Absurd Argument? Whether it is by making mistakes, by observing others, or repeating a process over again, it is human nature to learn. In their book The Bell Curve, Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray disagree and hold the position that human intelligence is inborn and measurable by IQ, which In turn shows how much success a single individual will have in life. The Bell Curve supports a class system, arguing that the intelligent are likely to become ever more dominant…
The recent approaches to the study of the intelligence has been separated into two types of approaches. There are the Sternberg's Approach and Gardner's Approach. Sternberg deemed intelligence as the purposive adaptation to,selection of, and shaping of real world environments relevant to one's life & abilities. However, from Gardner's point of view, the aspects of intelligence are varied.All of the intelligence are independent and function simultaneously. Gardner's research on intelligence is…
