MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

We were talking about the theory of multiple intelligences by Gardner in college.

Howard Gardner has argued that the traditional notion of intelligence is too limited and we have multiple intelligences (see table), all of them important, that education should be considered equally for all children to maximize their individual capacities. In practice, not all learn the same way or have the same interests and in a changing world like today, where the diversity of information is a reality, the choice is inevitable.

The educational implications of the theory of multiple intelligences are enormous. He is suggesting teachers need to implement pedagogical strategies beyond the linguistic and logical that predominate in the classroom and creative approaches that depart from traditional distributions tables in rows and columns with the teacher in front (and often above), slates or excessive reliance on textbooks. New times require environments that foster creativity and collaboration.

To introduce the Multiple Intelligences, we are going to watch a great video:

After seeing it, we should have understood at least the names of the different Multiple Intelligences:

Let's go on to see the different meanings in a schedule:

Our main interest as teachers is to developt the Multiple Intelligences in our students. That's why we have to prepare activities whhich developt the Verbal-Linguistic, Mathematical-Logical, Musical, Visual-Spatial, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Intrapersonal, Interopersonal, Naturalist and Existential.
