Howard Gardner 8 Areas of Intelligence
In Project based learning project World Connections Howard Gardner point of view can be use to improve students intelligences by getting a group of student to work on one project and find out different thing about the culture. Within this group of about 5 student their can be student who know more about Bodily kinesthetic, Interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical- mathematical, musical, naturalistic or spatial intelligence. Each student can ask question form what intelligence that they more about and the other people in the group learn from what is being asked from the other members in their group. With Gardner point of view student can will be able to learn something about the culture they didn’t know and plus learning something outside their intelligence. Just to make sure that students did learn from the project they when presenting they have to teach the class something outside of their intelligence. This will give the student the chance to teach and or coach their team members in something different and the make the member want to teach what they learned from their groups.

I like the idea of multiple intelligences. Each person has their own talents and abilities which can't always be measured by traditional IQ type testing. We as teachers should be aware of this and tailor our lessons so that each student has a chance to make the most of his/her talents.
ReplyDeleteA project such as this would make good use of the intelligences. Each student could pick a different aspect of a particular culture and examine it. Music, art, writing, and numbers could all be studied. Good pick for a project making use of the intelligences, Kendra.

As I mentioned in my blog, Gardner's multiple intelligences is one of my favorite educational theories. From a teaching standpoint, it is a great guide to use to create lessons and projects. You want to give your students a opportunity to be successful, and giving them lessons to utilize their intelligences is a way to accomplish that.
