Howard Gardner

constantly asked what we like and or what we are good at, we usually answer with something like “I don 't know” or with something we enjoy such as art or music. There is so much more to us than just one single word and is why Howard Gardner 's proposition interests me so much. Howard Gardner proposed that “rather than one g score for intelligence, we should consider eight different intelligences for all people”. This is basically putting humans in categories based on our abilities,…

means being intelligent in a single way, but being intelligent in multiple ways. The works of Howard Gardner and Gerald Graff both elaborate on what it is to be intelligent and how the school system should encourage or make available different strategies for students to truly succeed in school and in life. Although Gerald Graff’s view points have a more relevance in todays approach in teaching, Howard Garner’s theories are better well structured and better to follow in todays school education…

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner after he suggests or questions that the traditional notion and definition of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. He found that people had many other gifts and talents that weren't necessarily reflected in the traditional ideals of intelligence. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in…

By reading the different intelligences that Howard Gardner wrote, I think my strongest two areas of intelligence would be Bodily-Kinesthetic, and Interpersonal. Bodily-kinesthetic to me is when you can learn things hands on to understand the picture better and get a better visual that makes since to you. I chose this one because I feel I learn better with hands on things. I understand when there is something in front of me and I can see and see how the instructor teaches us how to do what she…

He is an American psychologist and a graduate of Harvard University. Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as ‘the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting’ (Gardner & Hatch, 1989). In 1983, Gardner introduced a new way of measuring intelligence. He argued that there was 8 eight different ways for intelligence to be shown. These intelligences are: linguistic…

I had never heard of the theory of multiple intelligences and I had no previous knowledge about Howard Gardner. It was really interesting to learn about him, his life and his theory. I think there is many good points in the theory of multiple intelligences, and I think it was important for me to learn about this theory because it has influenced education and thinking in the United States. Gardner’s theory suggests that the traditional view of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is inadequate.…

Gardner believed schools only focus on verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical intelligences (p.161). I agree with this because American schools basically test math, science, and language skills on state tests such as the MAP test. It would be a completely…

you define intelligence? Howard Gardner defines intelligence into 9 different categories, Randall Engle says it may predict your future, while I think it is substantial based on my research. First, Howard Gardner says there are 9 types of intelligences. In the article “Multiple Intelligence (MI) – Howard Gardner” it says there is spatial, linguistic, mathematical, kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist, and existentialist intelligence. Gardner explains how he figures…

Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory was developed by an American psychologist named Howard Gardner (Child development theorists: Freud to Erikson to Spock . . . And beyond, 2009). With his extensive musical and artistic passion as a young person, he noticed the absence of these categories when he began his research in psychology as an adult. He made it a personal goal for his career to find the place where these categories could exist as part of psychology research (Helding, 2009). The MI theory…

How do you imagine that Howard Gardner would respond to a concerned parent seeking guidance who asks, "How can I get my Kristen more motivated to achieve in school? She is starting to fall behind in both reading and math! All she wants to do is get outside and play softball!" How would Dr. Gardner foster intrapersonal intellignece in this student? Interpersonal intelligence? In regards to Gardner’s Eight Frames of Mind, Kristen would be considered “Bodily-Kinesthetic” since she loves baseball…
