HOWARD GARDNER LESSON PLAN

HOWARD GARDNER

• Pre-Gardner theory on human intelligence

– Single intelligence factor among correlated abilities

– Measured by IQ test

HOWARD GARDNER

• Basis for Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence in humans

– an account of human cognition in its fullness. The intelligences provided a new definition of human nature. Human beings are organisms who possess a basic set of intelligences.

– People have a unique blend of intelligences.

HOWARD GARDNER

• Seven Multiple Intelligences

– Linguistic

– Logic-mathematical

– Musical

– Spatial

– Bodily/kinesthetic

– interpersonal

Multiple Intelligences

• Linguistic– involves sensitivity to spoken and written

language– the ability to learn languages. – ability to effectively use language to

express oneself rhetorically or poetically– language as a means to remember

information.– Includes writers, speakers and lawyers.


• Logic-mathematical

– consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically

– carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.

– entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically.

– scientific and mathematical thinking.


• Musical– involves skill in the performance,

composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.

– encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.

– runs in an almost structural parallel to linguistic intelligence


• Spatial– involves the potential to recognize and

use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.


• Bodily/kinesthetic

– entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.

– ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements.

– sees mental and physical activity as related.


• Interpersonal– concerns the capacity to understand

the intentions, motivations and desires of other people.

– allows people to work effectively with others.

– Includes educators, salespeople, religious and political leaders and counselors.


• Intrapersonal

– entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations.

– involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.


• Two intelligences being considered

– Naturalist

– Moral

Multiple Intelligences-new

• Naturalistic

– enables human beings to recognize, categorize and draw upon certain features of the environment.

– combines a description of the core ability with a characterization of the role that many cultures value

Multiple Intelligences-new

• Moral

– is a concern with those rules, behaviors and attitudes that govern the sanctity of life - in particular, the sanctity of human life.

Impact on Education and Curriculum

• Curriculum and classroom design– Culture: support for diverse learners and

hard work. • maintains that diverse students can

learn and succeed, learning is exciting – Readiness: awareness-building for

implementing MI.• Builds staff awareness of MI and of

the different ways that students learn.


• Curriculum and classroom design– Collaboration:

• Sharing ideas and constructive suggestions.

– Choice:• meaningful curriculum and assessment

options. Valued both by students and the wider culture.

– Arts. • develop skills and understanding within

and across disciplines


• Questions IQ test as single intelligence evaluation

Applications to your classroom•

Be sure that you adapt your classroom space as best you can to the parameters of the lesson.– lecture– group work– roleplay

• Be prepared not only to encourage collaboration and "thinking outside the box," but also to maintain some control by setting specific boundaries for students.

Applications to your classroom

• One "answer" or outcome is not the only acceptable measure of a child's understanding. Different learners might grasp the concept in different ways. – Drawing, acting, speaking, writing

• Students need to have a clear understanding of how their work will be evaluated. Be sure to lay out the exact objectives and expectations of your lesson before beginning.
