Multiple Intelligences
Texte du Storyboard
- I am Howard Gardner
- I published a book in 1983 called "Frames of Mind".
- I am a psychologist at Harvard University.
- In my book I presented my theory of multiple intelligences.
- I found that standardized testing wasn't always fair because it only tested one type of talent or gift.
- Teachers really liked my theory because they knew that they could help more students by individualizing instruction to help them.
- We are all gifted in different areas!
- I am gifted in linguistics.
- Math for me! I like logic!
- I am a gifted visual artist.
- My strength is music.
- I am athletic.
- Interpersonal and Intrapersonal relationships.
- I am a naturalist.
- Thank you Howard!
- We need to acknowledge everyone's strengths!
- How can I use this information to help my studnets?
- Give students more choice when they choose projects. They can run with their strengths and they will feel more success!
- You said you are a naturalist? If I were your teacher I would help you find a project that relates to nature.
- You could research something in nature, draw it, write about it and essentially create your own project!
- That sounds like a project that I would really enjoy!
- That is the whole idea!
- Students can create a learning activity or a project that showcases several of the multiple intelligences and also helps them learn an important concept with a passion project or inquiry based learning project.
- An example of this could be applied to a science lesson about life cycles.
- In project based learning students could create 5 different mini projects or activities that utilize different intelligences. For linguistics, students could choose to write poetry or write a story about life cycles. Artists could create an illustration. Musically gifted students would create a musical composition.
- Athletic students could create a movement activity or a dance.Students gifted in Interpersonal and Intrapersonal relationships can do group work or reflective activities.
- With computer skills and media projects , students can explore a variety of activities and create projects that are meaningful to them and showcase their strengths.
- I am glad that my theory has been able to help students find more joy in the learning process.
