EANINFUL LEARNING
Meaningful learningrefers to the concept thatthe learned
knowledge(lets say a fact) is fully understoodby the individual
and that the individual knows how that specic fact relates to other
stored fact(stored in your brain that is).
When meaningful learning occurs the facts are storedin a relational
manner .That is, the brain stores them togetherbecause they are
related to each other. Now, when one fact is recalled, the other facts
are also recalled at that moment (or shortly thereafter). This
phenomenon is called thespread of activation. This is the gist ofmeaningful learning.
THEORY OF MUT!"E !#TE!$E#%E&
"Multiple intelligences is a psychological theory about the
mind. It's a critique of the notion that there's a single
intelligence which we're born with, which can't be
changed, and which psychologists can measure. It's based
on a lot of scientic research in elds ranging from
psychology to anthropology to biology. It's not based upon
based on test correlations, which most other intelligence
theories are based on. The claim is that there are at least
eight dierent human intelligences. Most intelligence tests
loo at language or logic or both ! those are ust two of
the intelligences. The other si# are musical, spatial,
bodily$inesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, andnaturalist. I mae two claims. The rst claim is that all
human beings ha%e all of these intelligences. It's part of
our species denition. The second claim is that, both
because of our genetics and our en%ironment, no two
people ha%e e#actly the same prole of intelligences, not
e%en identical twins, because their e#periences are
dierent."

s we can see, the theory of multiple intelligences proposes a big
transformation in the way our schools are run. !ue to the fact that.
Traditionally school education is mostly focus on linguistic and
mathematical intelligences. !r. "ardner suggests that teachers
should be trained to present their lessons in a wide variety of waysusing music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia,
eld trips, inner re#ection, and much more.
$ completely agree with this point of view, because when you are a
teacher, you easily perceive that not all your students learn through
the same way. Therefore, on the one hand, you should have into
account the di%erent intelligences there are in your class and, on the
other hand, you have to have a clear idea about the contents and the
concepts you want the students achieve in order to provide them with
the biggest range of di%erent activities focused in these multiplesintelligences to cover all their needs.

This is a &ognitive educational principle. $t is connected with the
process in which students obtain the knowledge. $n fact, N' deals
specically with the various ways in which they do that.
$n order to obtain knowledge, students have to process information,
and N' e%ectiveness in helping students gain a better understanding
of the way they learn.
s ichard *andler and +ohn "rinder said &( shows us how
language and beha%iours are really structured, and that this structure
can be 'modeled' or copied into a reproducible form.
$n addition, these techni-ues are closely connected to the theory of
multiple intelligences due to the fact of taking into account the
di%erent ways that di%erent students learn (visual learning, auditory
learning or kinaesthetic learning). Therefore, some teachers are
apliying N' in the classroom for the benet of all kind of learners.
$ think that having into account not only the concepts or contents to
be learned but also the process in which these is ac-uired, is essential
when we are aware of the di%erent types of learners we have in our
classroom.
