Gardners Multiple Intelligence
Theory
Concept of learners intelligence has gone beyond
linguistic and mathematical intelligence

Intelligences as dispositions


Benefits of using Multiple
Intelligences Theory
Curriculum --Traditional schooling heavily favors
the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical
intelligences. Gardner suggests a more balanced
curriculum that incorporates the arts, self-
awareness, communication, and physical
education.
Instruction -- Gardner advocates instructional
methods that appeal to all the intelligences, including
role playing, musical performance, cooperative
learning, reflection, visualization, story telling, and
soon.

Assessment -- This theory calls for assessment
methods that take into account the diversity of
intelligences, as well as self-assessment tools that
help students understand their intelligences.

Guide questions for discussions
1. Are the body and spirit independent of each

2. Do imperfections in the functioning of the sense
organs affect learning? Why? Why not?
3. Can there be learning without feelings or
emotions involved?
4. Do you believe that every child is a potential
genius?
