Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence
Characteristics of the intelligence types How can awareness of MI be used to
improve learning? Making MI profiles Examples of MI learning sequences Planning lessons with the MI approach Assessment of MI performance

EU-programme and an Italian artist – who claimed that people
should be able to: Look as an artist Listen like a musician Eat like a chef Touch like a lover Move like a dancer Talk like a poet
i.e. use all our senses and abilities! Is not this what good teaching should
create???

I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place. Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do...
(Howard Gardner 1999: 180-181 Intelligence reframed)

Intelligence is: 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting'
People have a unique blend of intelligences. Howard Gardner argues that the big challenge facing the deployment of human resources 'is how to best take advantage of the uniqueness conferred on us as a species exhibiting several intelligences'

Teacher’s background and preferred intelligence
A more and more academic perception of teaching and learning
Students with learning disabilities or
Teachers with teaching disabilities?

Learning is facilitated if students and teachers are aware of preferred learning profiles
Diferent approaches can lead to same results
Attract interest by starting where the student feels strong and has best opportunity for success
Flexible and individualised learning!

'it merely helps one to understand the conditions within which education takes place‘
▪ Howard Gardner ... the theory validates educators' everyday
experience: students think and learn in many different ways. It also provides educators with a conceptual framework for organizing and reflecting on curriculum assessment and pedagogical practices. In turn, this reflection has led many educators to develop new approaches that might better meet the needs of the range of learners in their classrooms.

8 ways of being smart – quick descriptions 1 colour attached to each intelligence Self assessment. More than / same as. Use
smileys. Making colour profile for classroom wall. Serve as a reminder of the classroom mix
Other profiling instruments.▪ Quetionnaires▪ Dialogue tools
![Page 14: Teaching with Awareness of Multiple Intelligence](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815196550346895dbfce21/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2 approaches▪ All students must have tasks in all intelligence
areas▪ Each student will be adressed according to own
intelligence profile Ideas and good planning is vital Define topic, target group, and learning
objectives▪ Same goals for all students, but different ways to
get there Brainstorming 1 intelligence at a time.

Healthy and nutritious food. – 3rd. Form – understand connections between what we eat and the way we look and feel.
Create learning elements in resource sheet. 1 intelligence at a time Do not think about connections Small elements
A ressource tool where ideas can be added continously

Pick and choose preferred ideas and elements Elements which suit profiles of your
studentsCreate learning sequences or
projectsThink of how you will assess multiple
intelligence performance.
