Week 5 Assignment#1 Ques. 1-2
1. How are students “smart” in different ways?
Students are smart in different ways because they have the ability to figure out situations in multiple ways by using cognitive thinking skills to conceptualize and figure out learning concepts. This is known as Multiple Intelligences. Multiple intelligences are not to be confused with transferred knowledge because multiple intelligences has two parts: 1. it offers students more than one entry point to a topic 2. It deepens the student understanding of a concept by allowing them to approach it from another perspective. Moreover, Transfer of knowledge is a learning style based on how to approach a task in contrast to MI that represents different innate learning abilities.
Below are the eight Linguistic intelligence described (Gardner Howard 1993) that students use and have the potential to develop over time. For example, students who exhibit an intelligence “awareness sensibility towards others” may, later on, pursue a career as teacher, politician or salespeople and are service oriented people. Whereas, a student who has a love for “agriculture, farming, or geology” has realized his or her Naturalistic intelligence.
See the Multiple Intelligences that students possess below.
1. Linguistic 2. Musical 3.Logical-mathematical 4.Spatial intelligence 5. Bodily-kinesthetic 6.Interpersonal 7. Intrapersonal 8. Naturalistic
Think, for example, of sailors in the South Seas, who find their way around hundreds, or even thousands of islands by looking at the constellations of stars in the sky, feeling the way a boat passes over the water, and noticing a few scattered landmarks. A word for intelligence in a society of these sailors would probably refer to that kind of navigational ability. Think of surgeons and engineers, hunters and fishermen, dancers and choreographers, athletes and athletic coaches, tribal chiefs and sorcerers. All of these different roles need to be taken into account if we accept the way I define intelligence—that is, as the ability to solve problems, or to fashion products, that are valued in one or more cultural or community settings. —Howard Gardner (1993, p. 3)
Gardner goes on to say, there could more intelligences we are not aware of to be explored.
How can teachers use Multiple Intelligences in the classroom?
Teachers can use MI in the many different ways to engage student learning and to create an inclusive classroom where all students have the opportunity to grow, I have used letters a-f. Multiple Intelligences can be used in all core and in Special’s for example, Musical Intelligences.
a. Verbal /Linguistic - writing short essays, creating poems for class, writing quotes, observing and studying habits of good speakers-multimedia
b. Logical/mathematics- play math games, makeup analogies, use a waffle maker and cook waffles to demonstrate how fractions and measurements are used, conducting experiments to demonstrate science topic
c. Interpersonal - turn and talk, cooperative groups, interviewing experts of the topic
d. Intrapersonal- writing reflective essays on the content area, use Chromebook for independent practice, make a scrapbook for their poetry, papers and reflection
e. Spatial - maps to study geography, taking photos for a yearbook,
f. Bodily-Kinesthetic - 5 minutes of movement through - dance each day, charades to act out a story
g. Naturalistic- caring for plants/pets, participate in recycling - collecting plastic bottles and cans
h. New Learning Theories/SMILE application
