Overview of Multiple Intelligences |
| Howard
Gardner developed his theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) as a direct
challenge to the "classical view of intelligence." He believes that people are smart in more areas than math or English, and that
these types of intelligences should be recognized. |
Originally
intended for the psychological realm of intelligence theory, MI has
become widespread and very successful among educators on all levels.
New intelligences are certain to be defined later, but as it stands
Gardner defines eight intelligences: visual-spatial, logical-mathematical,
bodily-kinesthetic, musical-rhythmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
linguistic, and naturalist. |
| These
types of intelligence, when recognized in school, boost children's self-esteem
by simply calling attention to their talents. Teachers can use this theory
in planning lessons by keeping all kinds of intelligence in mind. Each
intelligence is defined in this web site, along with additional information
on MI theory in general. |
