What is Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences?
Gardner, H. (2004). A multiplicity of intelligences: In tribute to Professor Luigi Vignolo. Scientific American. Obtained from: http://www.howardgardner.com/Papers/documents/T-101%20A%20Multiplicity%20REVISED.pdf

Intelligence is more than IQ
Human beings possess all of these intelligences
All humans, “exhibit different profiles of intelligences.”
Howard Gardner speaks briefly about his Multiple Intelligences theory.(Note: Ability to access YouTube is necessary to view this clip.)

Visual Spatial
I like puzzles! Maps are great!
“The ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems.” (Brualdi, 1996)
Sensitivity to color, line, shape, form, space, and the relationships that exist between these elements. (Armstrong, 1994)
Naturalistic
I’ll take care of the class pet! I’d love to start a rock collection!
A person "who demonstrates expertise in recognition and classification of the numerous species - the flora and fauna - of her or his environment.” (Gardner, 1998)
A person who has a high level of intelligence in visual-spatial reasoning would most likely enjoy working on which of the following projects:
◦ a. Song composing◦ b. Rock collection◦ c. 3-D model of the solar system◦ d. Scavenger hunt

Visual-spatial learners enjoy creating visual representations of their knowledge.
Correct!
This project would be best for another type of learner!

Interpersonal
I’m most comfortable working in a group! I excel in class discussions!
Easily understands the intentions, desires, and motivations of others.
Works effectively with others.
Intrapersonal
I prefer to work alone! I would enjoy writing in a journal!
The ability to understand one's own feelings and motivations.
You need to select a leader to organize a class bake sale. Which type of learner should you choose?
◦ a. Intrapersonal◦ b. Interpersonal◦ c. Naturalistic◦ d. Visual-Spatial
Did you get that?Check for Understanding #2
Students with high levels of interpersonal intelligence enjoy working with others!

Logical-Mathematical
Math and Science are my favorite subjects! I like rational explanations!
The ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically.
Usually associated with scientific and mathematical thinking.
Verbal-Linguistic
I am an avid reader! English and Social Studies are my favorite subjects!
The ability to effectively use language to express oneself orally or in writing.
Which type of career would be most appropriate for a learner with high levels of logical-mathematical intelligence?
◦ a. Guidance Counselor◦ b. Poet◦ c. Park Ranger◦ d. Computer Programmer
Is this making sense?Check for Understanding #3
Logical-Mathematical learners possess many of the skills necessary to be a successful computer programmer!
Correct!

Bodily-Kinesthetic
I like working with my hands! I think best when I’m doing something physical!
Expertise in using your body to express ideas or feelings.
Skilled in using their hands to produce or transform things.
Musical-Rhythmical
I listen to music a lot! I often make tapping noises or sing while I work.
Skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.
The ability to perceive, discriminate, transform and express musical forms.
A great team project for Bodily-Kinesthetic and Musical-Rhythmical learners would be:
◦ a. Choreographing a dance◦ b. Writing a play◦ c. Completing a Science lab◦ d. Current events debate
Final Question!Check for Understanding #4
This project allows both types of learners to use their strengths!
