MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES WE’RE ALL INTELLIGENT – JUST IN DIFFERENT WAYS
WHAT ARE MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES? Dr Howard Gardner developed the theory of ‘Multiple Intelligences’. He says that there are eight kinds of intelligence, not just one. People are intelligent in different ways and therefore they learn things in different ways. We should see all the different types of intelligence as important and valuable. Education should help people to learn in different ways.
LINGUISTIC Being sensitive to words and sounds and the use of language.
VISUAL/SPATIAL Understanding the visual world and responding well to it
BODILY-KINESTHETIC Controlling the body and handling objects
INTERPERSONAL Being sensitive to feelings of others and responding well
INTRAPERSONAL Understanding our own feelings and controlling our own behaviour
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL Seeing number patterns and following an argument
MUSICAL Hearing and making sounds and rhythm in music
NATURALIST Recognizing and classifying flora and fauna
