• Gardner's theory was first espoused in his 1983 book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
• Gardner believes “that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc. And all of us have computers that respond to those kinds of contents. But the strength or weakness of one computer doesn't particularly correlate with the other computer”
"Learning styles" is defined by the National
Association of Secondary School Principles as:
“The composite of characteristic cognitive,
affective and physiological factors that serve as
relatively stable indicators of how a learner
perceives, interacts with and responds to the
learning environment”
(Kefe, 1979)
• Social: Learning in groups and by working collaboratively
• Solitary: Learning independently and introspectively
• Visual/Spatial: Learning through seeing
• Verbal/Linguistic: Learning through hearing
• Logical/Mathematical: Learning through numbers
• Physical/Kinesthetic: Learning through moving, doing, and touching
• Aural/Musical: Learning through music
Field Dependent Learner: • Perceives globally
• Experiences in a global fashion, adheres to structures as
given-ships
• Social orientation
• Learns material with social content best
• Attends best to material relevant to own experience
• Requires externally defined goals and reinforcements

or restrictions
• Makes specific concept distinctions, little overlap
