    1. Multiple Intelligences presented by J. Maxwell Principles of Curriculum and Instruction EDUC 5116

    2. Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner What is it? Impact on curriculum Impact on instruction Issues with M.I.

    3. What is intelligence? According to Gardner, intelligence is the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural settings (Gardner & Hatch, 1989) all societies value different types of intelligences (Gardner, 1983)

    4. Howard Gardner proposes that there is not a single intelligence, but rather that there are nine, maybe more: Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence Naturalist intelligence Existential intelligence (Smith, 2002)

    5. Howard Gardner claims we all possess all of these intelligences but in varying degrees of strength, skill and limitation just as we all look different and have unique personalities and temperaments, we also have different profiles of intelligences no one kind of intelligence is better than another each intelligence has its own sphere of expertise intelligences are independent of each another.

    6. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence

    7. Linguistic Intelligence often called verbal/linguistic intelligence having mastery of language ability to manipulate language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically use language as a means to remember information

    8. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence

    9. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking

    10. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence

    11. Visual / Spatial Intelligence gives one the ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems this intelligence is not limited to visual domains Gardner notes that spatial intelligence is also formed in blind children.

    12. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence

    13. Musical Intelligence encompasses the capability to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms auditory functions are required for a person to develop this intelligence in relation to pitch and tone, but it is not needed for the knowledge of rhythm

    14. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence

    15. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence ability of ones one mental abilities to coordinate ones own bodily movements this intelligence challenges the popular belief that mental and physical activity are unrelated

    16. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence

    17. Interpersonal Intelligence ability to recognize feelings, intentions and motivations of others

    18. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence

    19. Intrapersonal Intelligence ability to understand ones own feelings and motivations ability to use that information to regulate ones own life

    20. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence Naturalist intelligence

    21. Naturalist Intelligence ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other objects in nature

    22. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence Naturalist intelligence Existential intelligence

    23. Existential Intelligence sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence (i.e., the meaning of life? why do we die? how did we get here?)

    24. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences Linguistic intelligence Logical/Mathematical intelligence Visual/Spatial intelligence Musical intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence Interpersonal intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence Naturalist intelligence Existential intelligence

    25. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences, still being examined. Spiritual intelligence Moral intelligence

    26. Spiritual Intelligence ability to grasp cosmic and transcendent truths depends on affective characteristics we have as yet no scientifically reliable way of investigating such traits. precursor to existential intelligence

    27. Moral Intelligence is a concern with those rules, behaviours and attitudes that govern the sanctity of life in particular, the sanctity of human life and, in many cases, the sanctity of any other living creatures and the world they inhabit (Gardner, 1999) Gardner believes, that until we accept the existence of a moral realm is it then possible to speak of moral intelligence if we speak of a moral code then Gardner cannot accept the term moral intelligence

    28. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum Gardners theory states that all seven intelligences are needed to functions in society implies that educators should recognize and teacher to a broader range of talents and skills

    29. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum a deeper understanding of curriculum material takes place when more intelligences are incorporated curriculum needs to facilitate the interconnections between the intelligences

    30. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Curriculum providing opportunities for assessment of students using their stronger intelligences gives an better idea of their knowledge of the material Student portfolios, independent projects, student journals and assigning creative tasks (Lazear, 1992)

    31. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Instruction teachers can demonstrate to students how they can use their stronger intelligence in understanding a subject which usually uses their weaker intelligence similar to the idea of teaching style and learning style

    32. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Instruction allows educators to reflect on the curriculum and their pedagogy to better meet the needs of their students material to be learnt in authentic environments utilise mentoring with experts in the area of development

    33. Multiple Intelligences Impact on the Instruction education needs to be embedded in all aspects of society educators need to instruct the same subject in different ways to accommodate students with different intelligence strengths

    34. Issues with M.I. are musical and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences more like talents lack of empirical data to support Gardners work development of tests to develop norms for them lack of tests to measure specific intelligences (Gilman, 2001) time required to teach subject to activate or promote differing intelligences

    35. Issues with M.I. how do primarily urban children fare in the naturalist intelligence how many intelligences will there be
