Who is Howard Gardner? Picture obtained from: http://pzweb.harvard.edu/PIs/HG.htm John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education (1998-present) Senior Director of Harvard University 's Project Zero Theorist behind Multiple Intelligences
What is Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences? • Intelligence is more than IQ • Human beings possess all of these intelligences • All humans, “exhibit different profiles of intelligences.” Gardner, H. (2004). A multiplicity of intelligences: In tribute to Professor Luigi Vignolo. Scientific American. Obtained from: http://www.howardgardner.com/Papers/documents/T-101%20A%20Multiplicity%20REVISED.pdf Image obtained from: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://expectumf.umf.maine.edu/piechart.gif&imgrefurl=http://expectumf.umf.maine.edu/mihome.html&usg=__L35jp516ucInbBNun4-7pBeEJco=&h=450&w=600&sz=17&hl=en&start=11&zoom=1&itbs=1&tbnid=JFauyjE7muogTM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=
Video Clip Howard Gardner speaks briefly about his Multiple Intelligences theory. (Note: Ability to access YouTube is necessary to view this clip.)
Visual Spatial • “The ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems.” (Brualdi, 1996) • Sensitivity to color, line, shape, form, space, and the relationships that exist between these elements. (Armstrong, 1994) I like puzzles! Maps are great!
Naturalistic • Aperson "who demonstrates expertise in recognition and classification of the numerous species - the flora and fauna - of her or his environment.” (Gardner, 1998) I’ll take care of the class pet! I’d love to start a rock collection!
Time for a break! Check for Understanding #1 • A person who has a high level of intelligence in visual-spatial reasoning would most likely enjoy working on which of the following projects: • a. Song composing • b. Rock collection • c. 3-D model of the solar system • d. Scavenger hunt
Correct! • Visual-spatial learners enjoy creating visual representations of their knowledge. Click here to continue learning about Multiple Intelligences!

Interpersonal • Easily understands the intentions, desires, and motivations of others. • Works effectively with others. I’m most comfortable working in a group! I excel in class discussions!
Intrapersonal • The ability to understand one's own feelings and motivations. I prefer to work alone! I would enjoy writing in a journal!
Did you get that?Check for Understanding #2 • You need to select a leader to organize a class bake sale. Which type of learner should you choose? • a. Intrapersonal • b. Interpersonal • c. Naturalistic • d. Visual-Spatial
Correct! Students with high levels of interpersonal intelligence enjoy working with others! Click here to continue learning about Multiple Intelligences!

Logical-Mathematical • The ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. • Usually associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. Math and Science are my favorite subjects! I like rational explanations!
Verbal-Linguistic • The ability to effectively use language to express oneself orally or in writing. I am an avid reader! English and Social Studies are my favorite subjects!
Is this making sense?Check for Understanding #3 • Which type of career would be most appropriate for a learner with high levels of logical-mathematical intelligence? • a. Guidance Counselor • b. Poet • c. Park Ranger • d. Computer Programmer
Correct! • Logical-Mathematical learners possess many of the skills necessary to be a successful computer programmer! Click here to continue learning about Multiple Intelligences!
Sorry! Try again! • This career would be more appropriate for another type of learner. • Click here to try again
Bodily-Kinesthetic • Expertise in using your body to express ideas or feelings. • Skilled in using their hands to produce or transform things. I like working with my hands! I think best when I’m doing something physical!
Musical-Rhythmical • Skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. • The ability to perceive, discriminate, transform and express musical forms. I listen to music a lot! I often make tapping noises or sing while I work.
Final Question!Check for Understanding #4 • A great team project for Bodily-Kinesthetic and Musical-Rhythmical learners would be: • a. Choreographing a dance • b. Writing a play • c. Completing a Science lab • d. Current events debate
Correct! • This project allows both types of learners to use their strengths! • Click here to continue learning • about Multiple Intelligences!
Sorry! Try again! • This project would be better suited for other types of learners. • Click here to try again
