Learning Styles/Multiple Intelligences

Dear all

Psychologist Howard Gardner extended the traditional conceptualizations of intelligence based on nine “frames on mind”, according to Gardner,

• All human beings possess all nine intelligences in varying amounts.
• Each person has a different intellectual composition.
• We can improve education by addressing the multiple intelligences of our students.
• These intelligences are located in different areas of the brain and can either work independently or together.
• These intelligences may define the human species.

 As a teacher we need to discover individual abilities and one good way is to pay attention when students work in groups where each member develops his/her talent to do a project.  They work like a team, developing each talent, or doing something where each one is good and like to do it. Through Portfolio we can see students’ strength and weakness.

Best regards
