Howard Gardner had a theory of multiple intelligences, and it has been extremely influential in the understanding of education. His claim is that there are multiple "frames of mind" varying from logical, to musical. These frames are the different ways of thinking about the world, and they are each very individual of each other. According to Howard, individuals vary in the type of intelligence in which they excel. In this essay I will discuss three different ways of thinking, along with examples…

counseling would be a perfect job. Ordinarily, social learners love team events, such as football or basketball. Furthermore, they prefer playing games that involve others.

if the child got a signature from the parent saying that they read, you reward them by putting a sticker in their log book. The next day the child comes back with another story read and earns themselves another sticker for their book.

If they are not…

Pink’s theory also relates to other motivation theories such as Abraham Maslow’s theory of “Hierarchy of Needs”. This “Hierarchy of Needs” is a pyramid broken up into eight levels.

Also, those eight levels are gathered together into three separate groupings. These three groupings show numerous…

In Gardner's (1983) point of view, intelligence is a combination of different abilities; he defines intelligence as “the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are of consequence in a particular cultural setting or community” (Gardner 1993, p.15).

What makes a person smart? Are there only two ends of the spectrum, smart and dumb? Howard Gardner believed this was not the case with his theory of multiple intelligences. A theory developed that different students had different types of minds, so therefore they will learn, remember, perform, and understand knowledge in their own different way. Gardner theorized that there were seven different areas of skills that a person can have in different amounts. With this theory he “developed a theory…
