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)

As the United States has strived to be continually recognized as the best country in the world, they have fallen victim to the global pandemic known as standardized testing. Individuals, both young and old, are put under what is seemingly constant stress to make sure that they obtain passing scores. Oftentimes, these scores can be directly associated with one’s candidacy for crucial milestones such as career certification, college acceptance, educational placement, and, even in some cases, financial

TEACHING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES IN THE SCHOOL A major enigma in the world is perhaps to know how the brain works and why people have different styles of learning; nowadays it is very important to develop multiple intelligences with children in the schools and not just teach based on the traditional method, where students only memorise the topics to pass the exams. Today the challenge is more complex because every person learns depending of their abilities, for example, an individual may possess

Sharla Emmers EXP105 – Pamela Bartlett Gardner’s Theory Gardner’s theory was a new proposition as to how one’s brain is inherently pre-tuned for a particular job or function. Additionally, each type of intelligence directly relates to the methods people use to solve problems. Gardner’s contribution was largely different than previous psychologist’s belief, which was based predominantly upon IQ tests. He summarized that it is the uniqueness of each person which predicates how one could approach

Multiple Intelligences University of Phoenix Parisha Hinton November 14, 2010 The study of human intelligence is the most controversial area in psychology. Even though many theories of intelligence have been achieved scientist still disagree on this complex phenomenon. Since individuals diverge in their ability to understand, to learn from past experiences, to overcome impediments, and to adapt to their environment it is difficult to grasp the true understanding of the human intelligence. With

spatial representation, musical thinking, and the use of the body to solve problems or to make things an understanding of other individuals and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains. Gardner says that these differences, “challenge an educational system that assumes that everyone can learn the

Gardner proposed his theory of multiple intelligences in 1983 with his book Frames of Mind. Gardner thought of intelligence as the ability to solve problems. He believed that intelligence could be broken down into eight different types, and that even though we use all of these intelligences we tend to be stronger at some than others. In the development of his theory, he first wanted to set up a criterion to help him determine what would be worthy of being called intelligence. He then came up with

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

Gardner’s theory helps us signifies the importance of ourselves and also the understanding of ourselves and others around us. All individuals are different in our strengths and weaknesses. Gardner’s theory is a lay out for the way that we could lead our lives and to make better choices with the things that we know from Gardner. Logical mathematical is the act of reasoning and calculating. If you like to solve problems and puzzles this would be you. Linguistic is using words effectively. You would
