...Howard Gardner's Theory on the Learning Process In 1983, Doctor Howard Gardner developed a theory of multiple intelligences (MI). Dr. Gardner was a professor and a psychologist of neuroscience from Harvard University. His theory questioned the current beliefs in the fields of cognitive science and education. In the past intelligence was measured by series of multiple short answer tests. Gardner's theory introduced intelligence broke down in seven different categories. The seven multiple intelligences include Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Musical Rhythmic, Bodily/ Kinesthetic, Spatial, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. Each different intelligence has a unique set of qualities. Linguistic is the capacity to use language, being able to express yourself and your mind. Logical/Mathematical is the intelligence in which one has a strong ability to use principles to reach a conclusion when solving problems. This type of intelligence would have the ability to manipulate numbers and quantities the same way you would in math. Musical Rhythmic intelligence is the ability to thoroughly think through music, sounds, rhythms and beats. Bodily/kinesthetic intelligence is when you are able to use your multiple body parts to solve a problem, such as playing sports, acting in plays, dancing, etc. Spatial intelligence is in which you can grasp the universe within your mind, when you can see the world that is not in front of you. Arts and sciences are where you will see this intelligence used...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper In order for a team to communicate and collaborate effectively it is important to know the learning styles and personality spectrum of the individuals. Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, came up with his theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner believes that everyone possesses at least eight intelligences they are the Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Visual-Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical and Naturalistic (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Along with the eight intelligences there are also four personality types; Thinker, Organizer, Giver and Adventurer these help identify the interactions that are most and least comfortable for individuals (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Interpersonal intelligences use feelings and sensitivity in their communication with others. The ability to relate to others and work within a team is a strength possessed by this learner. Talking to others to work out solutions and remaining open minded allows for the Interpersonal to be an effective leader in a group. Intrapersonal Intelligences have self-awareness and independence along with the ability to understand their own behavior and feelings (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Because of their independence the Intrapersonal would be an effective researcher and journal keeper for the group. Electronic communication would be effective with the Intrapersonal. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligences are...

...Theory of Multiple IntelliGENCE PSY/300 April 9, 2012 Instructor: Angelique Grady In this paper, I will discuss the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Howard Gardner. There are eight intelligences that Howard Gardener indentified, but I will be discussing three of them that would have an impact on my own personal success. Linguistic intelligence which refers to verbal intelligence, iInterpersonal intelligence is being able to appreciate and identify what others require, and iIntrapersonal intelligence refers to one’s self and their abilities (Smith, 2002, 2008). “Intelligence is multifaceted; that is, aspects of it can be expressed in many domains.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p. 271) “We can thus define intelligence as the application of cognitive skills and knowledge to learn, solve problems, and obtain ends that are valued by an individual or cCulture” (see Gardner, 1983, p. ?). “It is also to some extent culturally shaped and culturally defined, since cultural practices support and recognize intellectual qualities that are useful in the social and ecological context.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p.274). Gardner did not believe that there was only one inventory for intelligence. He used many criteria to come up with these eight intelligences. These criteria dealt with damage to the brain, and how a portion of the brain could be affected, but the other portion still worked fine. Another criteria area...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategies Communication and collaboration skills are imperative to his or her success when choose a career. Personal interaction is crucial in every day life situations from co-worker to business clients. At times, this may also include working in groups or teams, which adds a completely new dynamic to the communication and collaboration process. Understanding an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in these areas can provide keys to developing successful life and work relationships. Using Professor Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory as a guide, a person’s intelligence type can be determined. Gardner believes that eight intelligences are possessed by each person (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007). By answering a set of questions, a person can identify how developed each area is and how to utilize their most developed learning styles to benefit them. In order to be successful an individual must utilize effective communication and collaboration strategies when working with individuals who have different learning styles and personalities. Three of these intelligence areas are verbal-linguistic, logical/mathematical, and interpersonal. An individual person who has a highly developed verbal-linguistic learning style is able to communicate effectively through language and understanding. They also excel at teaching others and learning new things. Effective methods for communication and collaboration for these learning styles include...

...“I wonder why my best friend is more intelligent than I?” Some often wonder why others are smarter than them. That is not the case, everyone is relatively different and “…there are many ways to be smart.” (Coon & Mitterer, 2015) Three of the theories used to describe the different levels of intelligence are Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, Environmental intelligence, and Heredity Intelligence. First, according to Howard Gardner of Howard University, there are eight distinctly different kinds of intelligences which are Language (linguistic abilities), Logic and Math (numeric abilities), Visual and spatial (pictorial abilities), Music (musical abilities), Bodily-kinesthetic (physical abilities), Intrapersonal (having and underlying understanding of oneself), Interpersonal (understanding of other people), and Naturalist (ability to understand the natural environment). These intelligences are the different mental “languages” that people use for thinking (Coon & Mitterer, 2015, p. 338) . The drawbacks of this theory are no researches or assessments done to prove this theory. This theory is also contradictory....

Volume 11, Number 9. May 16, 2006. Topic In high school, my psychology briefly explained the theory of the multiple intelligences. We even took a test that should have told us what parts each of us were good at. Ever since, I have strongly believed in this theory and wanted to know more about it. This article had caught my eye and thought it would be very interesting and before even reading it all the way through, I started to make hypothesis of my own about it. In our book, multiple intelligence is explained in chapter 9. Hypothesis and Background Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence states that intelligence is split up into eight independent parts Logical-Mathematical (ability to reason), Linguistic(ability to use words), Musical(ability to perceive and cerate pitch and rhythm), Spatial(ability to navigate and form mental images), Bodily-Kinesthetics(muscle movements), Interpersonal(ability to understand other people), Intrapersonal(ability to understand self), and Naturalist(ability to identify and employ distinctions in the natural world). In the study however, two more intelligences were added to the theory: Spiritual Intelligence (ability to think about cosmic issues) and Existential (the ability to understand life, death, and love).

...Internet Activity #10 Howard Gardner initially came up with seven intelligences and grouped them into three categories. He grouped the intelligences as ones that are valued in schools, intelligences associated with the arts, and personal intelligences. Gardner grouped Linguistic intelligence and logical-mathematical intelligences as the two intelligences that are valued in schools. Linguistic intelligence involves spoken and written languages, the ability to learn languages, and the ability to express yourself through the use of language. Poets and lawyers are people Gardner would use as examples of people possessing linguistic intelligence. Logical-mathematical intelligence is like scientific and mathematical thinking. It involves analyzing...

...ABSTRACT John Donne is acknowledged as the master of metaphysical poetry and is admired for his talent and magnificent wit exercised in his writing. Metaphysical poetry is a special branch of poetry that deals with the pedagogic use of intellect and emotion in a harmonic manner. The basic praxis of metaphysical poetry is to highlight the philosophical view of nature and its ambience concerning human life. Despite criticisms from various corners, Donne and his other companions remained busy with their work to concentrate on metaphysical poetry to portray the feelings and sentiments of human beings by dint of their skillful and artful literary accomplishments. This paper is to address the outstanding performance of John Donne in the arena of metaphysical poetry and it endeavours to make a critical assessment of the diverse issues allembracing metaphysical poetry as well as to establish the relevance of metaphysical poetry in the literary realm. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION ―Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere‖ The Sun Rising: John Donne The startling conversational lines marvellously enumerate the poet‘s intense appeal to spread the beams of sun on the lovers‘ world as a mark of illuminating the macrocosmic world and beckon the readers to enter into a new realm of poetry with a sense of attachment and belonging between different objects of nature...

When they’d slid open the rain shutters, it had flown up before their eyes from a lower branch of the pine, but it seemed to have come back. During breakfast, there was the sound of whirring wings. “That bird’s a nuisance.” The younger brother started to get to his feet. “It’s all right. It’s all right.” The grandmother stopped him. “It’s looking for its child. Apparently the chick fell out of the nest yesterday. It was flying around until late in the evening. Doesn’t she know where it is? But what a good mother. This morning she came right back to look.” “Grandmother understands well,” Yoshiko said. Her grandmother’s eyes were bad. Aside from a bout with nephritis about ten years ago, she had never been ill in her life. But, because of her cataracts, which she’d had since girlhood, she could only see dimly out of her left eye. One had to hand her the rice bowl and the chopsticks. Although she could grope her way around the familiar interior of the house, she could not go into the garden by herself. Sometimes, standing or sitting in front of the sliding-glass door, she would spread out her hands, fanning out her fingers against the sunlight that came through the glass, and gaze out. She was concentrating all...
