Multiple Intelligences
VISUAL/SPATIAL - learning visually and organizing ideas spatially. Seeing concepts in action in order to understand them. The ability to "see" things in one's mind in planning to create a product or solve a problem.
VERBAL/LINGUISTIC - learning through the spoken and written word. This intelligence was always valued in the traditional classroom and in traditional assessments of intelligence and achievement.
MATHEMATICAL/LOGICAL - learning through reasoning and problem solving. Also highly valued in the traditional classroom, where students were asked to adapt to logically sequenced delivery of instruction.
BODILY/KINESTHETIC - learning through interaction with one's environment. This intelligence is not the domain of "overly active" learners. It promotes understanding through concrete experience.
MUSICAL/RHYTHMIC - learning through patterns, rhythms and music. This includes not only auditory learning, but the identification of patterns through all the senses.
INTRAPERSONAL - learning through feelings, values and attitudes. This is a decidedly affective component of learning through which students place value on what they learn and take ownership for their learning.
INTERPERSONAL - learning through interaction with others. Not the domain of children who are simply "talkative" or "overly social." This intelligence promotes collaboration and working cooperatively with others.
NATURALIST - learning through classification, categories and hierarchies. The naturalist intelligence picks up on subtle differences in meaning. It is not simply the study of nature; it can be used in all areas of study..
EXISTENTIAL - learning by seeing the "big picture": "Why are we here?" "What is my role in the world?" "What is my place in my family, school and community?" This intelligence seeks connections to real world understandings and applications of new learning.
Teachers are now working on assimilating this knowledge.
Comment: This website outlines in detail about Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Identification of these multiple intelligences has significant implications fo learning in the classroom because if, as the teacher, I can identify the individual strengths of each of our students, I will be able to accomodate all my students successfully according to their orientation of learning. I feel that the multiple intelligence theory is truly valuable, because it indicates that there isn't just one specific way to learn. This website gives some insightful activities that as a teacher I can look into, so as to promote and encourage learning from all my students, in the ways they feel it easiest to learn.
"Once teachers get past the traditional definition of intelligence, there are powerful new possibilities for learning in the classroom"
