Study Notes
Multiple Intelligences Theory
- The theory proposes that all human beings possess 9 different intelligences in varying degrees.
- Each individual has a unique intelligence profile, and education can be improved by assessing students' intelligence profiles and designing activities accordingly.
Types of Intelligences
- Visual/Spatial Intelligence: Ability to form and manipulate mental models, dependent on visual thinking, and imaginative.
- Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: Ability to understand and manipulate words and languages.
- Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: Ability to do things with data, collect, organize, analyze, and interpret, and converge.
Characteristics of Visual/Spatial Intelligence
- Learn most readily from visual presentations, such as movies, pictures, videos, and demonstrations using models and props.
- Like to draw, paint, or sculpt their ideas.
- Can be fostered by utilizing charts, graphs, diagrams, graphic organizers, microscopes, etc.
Famous Examples
- Visual/Spatial Intelligence: Pablo Picasso, Bobby Fischer, Georgia O'Keefe.
- Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: T.S. Elliot, Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr.
- Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: Albert Einstein, Niehls Bohr, John Dewey.
Principles for Effective Learning
- To develop mastery, students must acquire component skills, practice integrating them, and know when to apply what they have learned.
- Goal-directed practice coupled with targeted feedback enhances the quality of students' learning.
- Students' current level of development interacts with the social, emotional, and intellectual climate of the course to impact learning.
- To become self-directed learners, students must learn to monitor and adjust their approaches to learning.
Howard Gardner
- Psychologist and Professor at Harvard University.
- Published "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences" (1983).
- Criteria for identifying an intelligence include:
- Isolation of brain damage/neurological evidence.
- The existence of prodigies, idiot savants, and exceptional individuals.
- Distinguishable set of core operations.
- Developmental stages with an expert end state.
- Evolutionary history and plausibility.
- Susceptibility to encoding in a symbol system.
- Support from experimental psychological tasks.
- Support from psychometric research.
