UNDERSTANDING THE THEORIES AND CONCEPTS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND LEARNING STYLES Reporter: Jayson B. Gulla , MED- Math UNDERSTANDING THE THEORIES AND CONCEPTS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND LEARNING STYLES
The Theory of Multiple Intelligences was created by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983. Gardner’s theory places an emphasis on the idea that the traditional understanding of intelligence by means of IQ testing is far too limited. Dr. Howard Gardner, 1983 Multiple Intelligences
Multiple Intelligences To broaden this notion of intelligence, Gardner introduced eight different types of intelligences consisting of the following: A more recent picture of Dr. Gardner
What is intelligence according to Gardner? It is the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are valuable in one or more cultural settings. Each person may have different multiple intelligences. Everyone can possess more than one of it. In January 2016, Gardner mentioned in an interview with BigThink * that he is considering adding the teaching-pedagogical intelligence "which allows us to be able to teach successfully to other people" In the same interview, he explicitly refused some other suggested intelligences like humor , cooking and sexual intelligence . * BigThink is a multimedium web portal founded in 2007 by Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins. .
Verbal-linguistic intelligence refers to an individual’s ability to analyze information and produce work that involves oral and written language, such as speeches, books, and emails. Jose Rizal, William Shakespeare 2. Logical-mathematical intelligence describes the ability to develop equations and proofs, make calculations, and solve abstract problems. Bill Gates, Isaac Newton 3. Visual-spatial intelligence allows people to comprehend maps and other types of graphical information . Leonardo da Vinci, Stan Lee Types of Multiple Intelligence
4. Musical intelligence enables individuals to produce and make meaning of different types of sound. Beethoven, Stevie Wonder 5. Naturalistic intelligence refers to the ability to identify and distinguish among different types of plants, animals, and weather formations found in the natural world. Charles Darwin, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark 6. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence entails using one's own body to create products or solve problems. Michael Jordan, Manny Pacquiao Types of Multiple Intelligence
7 . Interpersonal intelligence reflects an ability to recognize and understand other people's moods, desires, motivations, and intentions. Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa 8 . Intrapersonal intelligence refers to people's ability to recognize and assess those same characteristics within themselves. Sigmund Freud, Socrates Types of Multiple Intelligence
To date, there are 9 types of multiple intelligence proposed by Gardner. Gardner did not want to commit to a spiritual intelligence , but suggested that an " existential " intelligence may be a useful construct, also proposed his 1999 book. 9. Existential intelligence: “The sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why we die and how we got here. Socrates, Buddha
Multiple intelligences is the same thing with learning styles. Multiple intelligences represents different intellectual abilities. Learning style is the approach to a wide range of materials or tasks Learning experiences necessarily to relate to a person's strongest area of intelligence. Information can be presented in different ways. Students can be classified as being specific types of learners or as having an innate or fixed type of intelligence. The learning styles of students are their individual gifts. The Connection Between Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles
Learning styles simply group common ways people learn and store information in their brain. Each person is born with tendencies toward one main style. There is no best style. Each style has its own advantages and disadvantages. Each learning style correspond to one type of intelligence. The Connection Between Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles
What are the different learning styles ?
Different Learning Styles for High School 1. Visual (spatial): You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. 2. Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music. 3. Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing. 4. Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands, and sense of touch. 5. Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning, and systems. 6. Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people. 7. Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
Who needs learning styles ?
Who needs learning styles? Learning style strategies are most important for learners who: are being introduced to a new or relatively unfamiliar content are studying challenging or difficult information lack confidence have previously underachieved with one-size-fits all strategies require learning support, especially in spelling, reading, or mathematics Are striving to master a foreign language or second language
Why do we have to adopt different teaching styles ?
How do students learn and how should teachers prepare information to be learned ?
The Visual/spatial learner is sometimes called a right-brained learner. Visual learners tend to represent a larger percentage of overall learning styles. Sees the big picture but may miss all the little details Does not work or learn in a step-by-step process Arrives at correct solutions but not able to explain why Drill and repetition does not facilitate learning Develops own method of (unusual) problem solving May be a late bloomer Is a good synthesizer Reads maps well Much better at keyboarding than handwriting Use computer assisted learning Use charts, graphs, diagrams, and flowcharts Use color, layout, ‘visual words’, and spatial organization in your teaching Use mind maps Use color and pictures in place of text whenever possible Underline or highlight important points Use a variety of colored pens, symbols, concept maps, or time lines Place information note cards in highly visible places in your study area Make an outline, summarize on paper Suggested Activities for a Visual Learner Characteristics of a Visual Learner
The Aural (auditory) learner learns best by hearing (active listening). These learners can usually remember information more accurately when it has been explained to them orally. Think in words Relate well to time Tend to have incredible memories for past conversations (such as jokes) Are step-by-step learners Learn by trial and error Attends well to details Have a great memory for music and lyrics Enjoy discussions, debates, and talking to others Memorization is helpful Oral reading–Read, sub-vocalize, and summarize aloud Listen to stories read to you Make use of tapes or CDs, and other recorded materials Participate in co-op groups Record lectures and discussions Listen to the voice in your head Explain things to someone else Create mnemonic devices or rhymes to memorize facts, lists…then to make the most out of it, set them to a jingle or part of a song. Suggested Activities for an Aural Learner Characteristics of an Aural Learner
The Verbal (linguistic) learner has the ability to communicate through language–listening, reading, writing, and speaking. They have the ability to reason, solve problems, and learn using language. The verbal learner does well in areas such as reading and writing. They are good listeners and have a well-developed memory for things they have read. They are good at recalling spoken information. Prefer math word problems rather than solving equations Enjoys writing poetry, speech and drama classes, and language classes Tends to rewrite notes and outline chapters Likes to recite information, learn scripts, or participate in debates Can hear words, phrases and sentences as they are being read silently Translates emotions into linguistic form Lkfnjg;ajoenrg;oaneg;oreng Ta ke comprehensive notes Make lists and headings in your notes Develop a word list, using key words or phrases to trigger ideas Write summary paragraphs from your notes Re-write or re-read your notes Review old tests Use outlines to organize information Generate test questions from lecture notes Talk yourself through procedures step-by-step Suggested Activities for a Verbal Learner Characteristics of a Verbal Learner
The Physical (kinesthetic/tactile) learner is an active doer. They learn best by becoming physically involved with what is being learned. These kids are in almost constant motion–fidgety or never sits still. Preference for “hands on” learning Can assemble parts without reading directions Needs to be able to touch or manipulate what is being learned Benefits from pictures or diagrams in notes Usually don’t have visuals in mind Tends to be less organized Sense of time difficult because they work better in the present moment Likes to do artwork Likes to piece things together “Hands-on” or discussion-based lessons are best Include personal examples to make lecture notes more meaningful Make pictures, graphs. or concept maps to engage all senses Recite, review information while engaged in a physical activity such as walking, jogging, bouncing a basketball, riding a stationary bike Use workbooks and old tests to review information Use role playing, use games, drama, mime–act out material or design games Turn projects or lessons into art projects Use manipulatives Suggested Activities for a Physical Learner Characteristics of a Physical Learner
The Logical (mathematical) learner likes using his or her brain for logical and mathematical reasoning. They have the ability to reason, solve problems, and learn using numbers, abstract visual information, and analysis of cause and effect relationships. They are methodical, linear thinkers who can recognize patterns and logically analyze problems. Thinks logically most of the time Uses logical means to describe things, ideas and emotions Wants to find out what logical concepts are called Has strong visual analysis and memory and problem solving skills Works best in structured, organized environment Seeks new ways to express self logically Can tell when something is ‘wrong’ in a certain logical style/when something is incomplete or missing in a classification system Write short summaries of what the material means to you Aim to understand the reasons behind lessons and skills. Don’t just rote learn. Understanding more detail behind the lesson content helps you memorize and learn the material that you need to know. Think about why it is important and what it relates to. Create and use lists by extracting key points from lessons–include statistics and other analysis Play computer math games Conduct experiments in the back yard Suggested Activities for a Logical Learner Characteristics of a Logical Learner
The Social (interpersonal) learner communicates well with people, both verbally and nonverbally. These learners are sensitive to their motivations, feelings, or moods. Others often come to them for advice or help. Social learners usually prefer learning in groups or classes, so homeschool co-ops might be very beneficial. Enjoys mentoring or counseling others Has a strong sense of intuition regarding others’ opinions and preferences Is good at reading people and is good at getting to the root cause of communication problems Relates well with peers Likes cooperative learning activities Displays emotion appropriate to the situation Helps others in need when appropriate Demonstrates conscious awareness of relationship dynamics Role playing and drama are helpful Participate in co-op classes Use mind maps Use props to think through situations or lessons Keep in touch with family and friends-calls, letters, visits Join a volunteer or service-oriented group Find several pen friends from different cultures and parts of the world Tutor another sibling or friend in an area of expertise Use the praise-question-polish technique Give personal feedback to your learner Interview others for projects Suggested Activities for a Social Learner Characteristics of a Social Learner
A solitary learner, also known as an intrapersonal learner is someone who prefers learning on their own. These types of students are self-motivated, enjoy working independently, and learn best when working alone. Keeps a journal or diary Enjoys spending time alone Struggles in large crowds and noisy rooms Likes to set goals and make plans Struggles in opening up to others Excellent self-management skills Has a strong sense of self Highly independent Set aside a little quiet time each day Keep a journal or learning log Be creative with role-playing. Make a personal development plan; set short and long-term goals for yourself and then follow through on them Suggested Activities for a Solitary Learner Characteristics of a Solitary Learner
