Since students approach and learn differently in the classroom, it is necessary as teachers that we acknowledge if there are methods for observing student learning. There are two key components necessary to understand the measurement of intelligence, multiple intelligences and differentiation.
Binet was right. Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner is known for his theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that certain areas of specialized intelligence become more developed than others. It is important to recognize that IQ is not an absolute or a constant. It can fluctuate as much as 5 points in a week, or change by 10 points or more over a period of years.
It is important to note that a range of scores is aligned with specific intelligence categories. IQ tests are best used as predictors of academic success and are often used in conjunction with psychological evaluations and other data to determine eligibility for special education services or a program for gifted students. For the past 19 years I have been teaching English to students from a vocational highschool mechanics. I am confronting a situation in which I can have 3 groups of students in my class.

Teaching for Linguistic Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high linguistic intelligence: Use creative writing activities such as poetry or script writing Set up class debates Allow for formal speaking opportunities Use humor, such as joke writing or telling Make sure there are plenty of reading opportunities Learning with Linguistic Intelligence: Learn your best by writing, practicing speeches, creating jokes, journaling, and reading.
Teaching for Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high logical-mathematical intelligence: Provide opportunities for problem solving Involve calculations Create activities that involve deciphering a code Use pattern or logic games Organize new information in an outline format Learning with Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Learn your best by creating information outlines with points, and making patterns of the information.
Visual-Spatial Intelligence Photo by Matthieu Comoy on Unsplash Visual-spatial intelligence is all about the visual arts, graphics, and architecture.
Teaching for Visual-Spatial Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high visual-spatial intelligence: Use mind mapping techniques Use guided visualizations or verbal imagery Provide opportunities for artistic expression using a variety of mediums paint, clay, etc. Allow for make-believe or fantasy Create collages for visual representations Learning with Visual-Spatial Intelligence: Learn your best by creating something visual using space such as a collage, art piece, or written map of the information.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence Photo by Drew Graham on Unsplash Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is the ability to use the body to express emotion, play games, or create new products. High bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is common in dancers, athletes, surgeons and artisans. Teaching for Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: Use body sculpture Use of role playing, miming, or charade games Allow for physical exercise, dance, or martial arts Create opportunities for dramatic arts such as skits Use human graphs Learning with Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: To learn at your best, try creating a movement routine or role play to learn a concept or remember information.
Composers, musicians, conductors, and sound directors all have high musical intelligence. Teaching for Musical Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high musical intelligence: Use instruments and instrument sounds Use environmental sounds to illustrate a concept Allow for musical composition and performance Allow students to create songs about a topic Learning with Musical Intelligence: To learn best with your musical intelligence, try making a song with content you need to know.
Interpersonal Intelligence Photo by Perry Grone on Unsplash Interpersonal intelligence is all about working with others and communicating effectively with others both verbally and nonverbally. Teaching for Interpersonal Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high interpersonal intelligence: Teach collaborative skills Provide plenty of group work opportunities Use person-person communication Use empathy Learning with Interpersonal Intelligence: To learn best with high interpersonal intelligence, try doing most of your work in a group or with another person.
Intrapersonal Intelligence Photo by Doug Robichaud on Unsplash Intrapersonal intelligence involves knowledge of the self in ways such as feelings, range of emotional responses, and intuition about spirituality. Psychologists, philosophers, and theologists have high intrapersonal intelligence. Teaching for Intrapersonal Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high intrapersonal intelligence: Practice meditation Allow for plenty of self reflection Use mindfulness Practice reaching altered states of consciousness Learning with Intrapersonal Intelligence: To learn best with intrapersonal intelligence, try using mindful walks, meditation, and metacognition.
Naturalist Intelligence Photo by Sarah Brown on Unsplash Naturalist intelligence is about discerning, comprehending, and appreciating plants, animals, atmosphere, and the earth. Teaching for Naturalist Intelligence: Use the following activities and techniques for students and groups with high naturalist intelligence: Practice conservation Have a classroom plant or animals to care of Observe nature, go on nature walks Use species classification Provide hands-on labs of natural materials Learning with Naturalist Intelligence: To learn at your best, do your learning outdoors.
Educational Benefits of Applying Multiple Intelligences Theory The benefits of this theory are many, and they can be applied across all ages and in all subjects. Planning With Intelligence: Variation Approach : When students are first made aware of the types of intelligences, they must complete activities of all types to better select their intelligence types.
What Multiple Intelligences Theory Can Teach Us: Additional research may be needed in order to understand the best possible methods to assess and support a range of intelligences in the classroom.
Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom: There are many ways to use the theory of multiple intelligences in the classroom. How can the Multiple Intelligences be Implemented in the Classroom? Classroom Layout The best way to layout a classroom to support multiple intelligences is to have places in the room that work for each type of intelligence.
For visual-spatial intelligence, include an open area for object manipulation or art creation. For bodily-kinesthetic intelligences, an open area for body movement could be provided.
How to Identify the Intelligences in Your Classroom It can be hard to identify which intelligences are in the classroom. Expand Upon Traditional Activities: Traditional activities in the classroom tend to focus on linguistic and logical-mathematical types of intelligence. Results of This Program: When multiple intelligences theory is implemented properly in the classroom, it can have very positive results. Teaching in the Way the Child Learns: Teaching using the multiple intelligence theory is essentially teaching in the way the child learns.
Factors In Educational Reform According to Gardner, there are four factors in educational reform: assessment, curriculum, teacher education, and community participation. Gardner argues that in addition to using multiple intelligences, educational reform should occur within the following: Assessment : Children should be assessed according to their learning styles and intelligences, and traditional forms of assessment should not be used to drive instruction.
Curriculum : Curriculum has traditionally been unchanged, and no one seems to know why. Curriculums should shift to focus on skill development and knowledge formation. Teacher Education : There must be a way to attract more talented teachers into the profession, keep them there, and incentivize them to use research-backed methods.
The entire community must be committed and involved in the education of young society members. Challenges of Multiple Intelligences Theory Accommodating so many different intelligences within the classroom is difficult, and some intelligences may not lend themselves well to group learning situations.
What is the theory of multiple intelligences? What are these intelligences? What do they mean? What effect does this have in learning and education?
