  1. Psychology of Teaching and Learning Missouri Baptist University Kristi Scott March 9, 2010

  2. Howard Gardner “The multiple intelligences approach does not require a teacher to design a lesson in nine different ways so that all students can access the material. Rather, it involves creating rich experiences in which students with different intelligence profiles can interact with the materials and ideas using their particular combinations of strengths and weaknesses.”

  3. History • Born July 11, 1943 • Grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania • Talented musician • Married to developmental psychologist Ellen Winner and has four children

  4. Mentors Influenced by • Erik Erikson • Jerome Bruner • Jean Piaget

  5. Overview In his landmark book Frames of Mind: The Theory Of Multiple Intelligences, published in 1983, Harvard University education professor Howard Gardner unveiled a theory of multiple intelligences that famously rejected the traditional and long-held view that aptitude consists solely of the ability to reason and understand complex ideas.

  6. Overview Instead, he identified seven separate human capacities: musical, verbal, physical, interpersonal, visual, logical, and intrapersonal. And not all of them, including the category he added years later -- naturalistic -- could be easily evaluated by the standard measuring stick of the time: the IQ test.

  10. Multiple Intelligences Implications Linguistic Intelligence • Write a sequel to a story • Use cooperative learning techniques and get involved in group activities. • Make a speech on a relevant topic • Keep a log or journal about daily experiences • Read and write poetry

  11. Multiple Intelligences Implications Logical-Mathematical • Create a detailed outline on a subject they are studying • Compare and contrast objects –physical things or concepts—mental things • Construct a logical argument for some process or idea • Participate in an empirical study based on the scientific method • Analyze a series of events or phenomena for underlying patterns

  12. Multiple Intelligences Implications Visual-Spatial • Design a building • Study a picture and then list objects in the picture without reference to it • Study a picture and then describe what lies just outside the scope of the picture • Develop a mind-map for a given area of study • Develop a highly visual presentation for a given area of study

  13. Multiple Intelligences Implications Bodily-Kinesthetic • Physically build something • Get involved in a sport that teaches, such as Karate • Act out scientific processes, such as planetary rotation • Learn to play physical games that are popular in other cultures • Teach someone how to use a physical device

  14. Multiple Intelligences Implications Musical-Rhythmic • Listen to different types of music to prepare for an activity, such as relaxing music before a test • Create a tune about a given area of study • Analyze how different people speak, such as inflections or pitches • Listen to various sounds from nature in an attempt to discern patterns and rhymes, such as bird songs • Listen to a famous piece of music and describe it’s mood

  15. Multiple Intelligences Implications Interpersonal • Utilize cooperative learning techniques for covering subject matter • Conduct interviews to gather information on a given area of study • Teach someone how to do/understand something in a given area of study • Role-play a famous character to gain understanding about the character • Work on an important issue to the community

  16. Multiple Intelligences Implications Intrapersonal • Imagine having a dialog with a famous figure, historical or otherwise • Keep a diary/journal about what you learn each day and what it means to you • Keep track of his/her moods and feelings when working in a given area of study • Build a mind map of a given area of study • Brainstorm on how his/her culture influences his/her thinking in a given area of study

  17. Multiple Intelligences Implications Naturalistic • Field trips • Categorizing/interacting with something natural, such as bugs or rocks • Observe animal behavior • Manipulate outdoor equipment • Design experiments

  18. Awards • MacArthur Prize Fellowship • Grawemeyer Award in Education • Guggenheim Fellowship • Recipient of 20 honorary degrees from 26 colleges and universities around the world

  19. Current Activities • The John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education • Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Harvard University • Adjunct Professor of Neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine • Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero • Director of the GoodWork Project • Newest Book — Five Minds For The Future
