Theory of Multiple Intelligences

According to Howard Gardner (2006), every human being has at least two or more intelligence such as verbal-linguistic (VL), logic-mathematic (LM), intrapersonal (IA), interpersonal (IN), visual-spatial (VS), musical (MR), natural (NA) and existential (EX) intelligence. The first two which are verbal languages and mathematic skills are describe as Intelligent Quotients (IQ) and the last two which are IA and IN skills are describe as Emotional Intelligent (E.Q). 

It is believed that every human being has at least one intelligent, and some of them can even possess to a maximum of eight intelligence. With the strength acquired by students, the lecturers can prepare suitable teaching materials in a classroom. Lecturers should allow considerable elements of students’ choice when designing activities and tasks for the intelligence because students perform well in the tasks which appeal to their interests.

Multiple Intelligences Educational Courseware, 2008

Intan et. al (2008) believed that every human being has at least one intelligent, and some of them can even possess to a maximum of eight intelligences. MI Educational Courseware was developed based on the theory of MI in education by Howard Gardner for Smart School in Malaysia. This courseware provides a comprehensive and interactive notes, exercises, tutorials and quizzes that equipped with animated graphics and games which can excite and entertain students and improve the information transformation from short term memory into long-term memory.

Example of game style learning, learning through drawing, and click and drag exercises

The novelty of the courseware is that the system can easily be customized, maintained and updated. As an independent system, the courseware allows students to navigate through system to a specific part of their interest. The courseware is focus on Chemistry Subject (consists for 4 subtopic) at Sekolah Menengah Tengku Menteri Changkat Jering Taiping, one of the smart schools in Malaysia.

 The strengths of this courseware is before entering the system, students have to logon with their names and personal password. This system will find student’s name in file user.txt located in the project folder. If the student finds the user name in that specific files and that particular password is match, the system will brings him to the main menu. Teachers also have their own password that contains sensitive information such as student’s marks. Teachers can edit and delete students answer scripts from this site.

Another strengths of this courseware, teacher can update the content without having to edit any Authorware files because the notes were built in HTML format. They can edit and update these files using any HTML editor or web editor or even Ms. Word. However, they have to save with the same file name because Authorware package pieces will find file with the same name. 

A Framework for using Multiple Intelligences (EDUCE), 2004

A different approach is taken by D.Kelly & B.Tangney(2004), developed an Intelligent Tutoring System (EDUCE) that utilizes learning characteristics and the Multiple Intelligences concept to provide an individualized learning environment. EDUCE offers individualized learning by allowing the learner to take the initiative and choose from a diversity of instructional methods. It makes available a learning environment in which students can choose material according to their need and preferences.

The authors presents EDUCE’s framework for using Multiple Intelligences and describes how EDUCE incorporates the Multiple Intelligences theory into its architecture and design and demonstrates how students can choose between Multiple Intelligences differentiated material.

 EDUCE Architecture and the Role of MI 

Multiple Intelligences Learning Activities (MILA) Model

Sakchai et al (2008) proposed a MI Learning Activities (MILA) Model in e-learning Environment & group the intelligences into 3 regions:

1.       1. Interactive domain  (Linguistic, Interpersonal and Kinesthetic)

2.   Analytic domain (Logical- Mathematical, Musical and Naturalist)

3.    Introspective domain  (Intrapersonal, Spatial and Existential)

Converting from e-learning to m-learning..

Wow! This is the tools provided based on MI.

Naturalistic Activities

Children having naturalistic intelligence may exhibit some of the following characteristics. They may:

Have keen sensory skills - sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
Readily use heightened sensory skills to notice and categorize things from the natural world.
Like to be outside, or like outside activities like gardening, nature walks or field trips geared toward observing nature or natural phenomena.
Notice patterns easily from their surroundings -- likes, differences, similarities, anomalies.
Are interested and care about animals or plants.
Notice things in the environment others often miss.
Create, keep or have collections, scrapbooks, logs, or journals about natural objects -- these may include written observations, drawings, pictures and photographs or specimens.
Are very interested, from an early age, in television shows, videos, books, or objects from or about nature, science or animals.
Show heightened awareness and concern of the environment and/or for endangered species.
Easily learn characteristics, names, categorizations and data about objects or species found in the natural world.

Activities that children with naturalistic intelligence will enjoy

To collect leaves, stones, bugs, flowers etc.
To identify the types of flowers and trees in your back yard or neighborhood.
To learn the different types of animals (e.g., types of dogs and cats, wildlife, squirrels, birds, etc.).
To develop an interest in collecting pictures of animals such as eagles, horses, or dogs or plants etc.
To do outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, gardening etc.
To watch National Geographic, the Discover Channel, or other programming that examines wildlife, fish, whales, and other animals.

Naturalistic Intelligence

Naturalistic is the most recent addition to Gardner’s theory (Gardner,2001) and has been met with more resistance than his original seven intelligences. According to Gardner, individuals who are high in this type of intelligence are more in tune with nature and are often interesting in nurturing, exploring the environment and learning about other species. These individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.

Naturalistic intelligence is the ability to recognize patterns in nature and to classify according to minute detail. For those students in tune with nature, the inclusion of the following activities may help them learn material by creating a naturalist inclusive atmosphere: nature walks, pet or plant in the classroom, and nature films (Amstrong, 1994). Armstrong also suggests using plants as props, this is where natural things or elements are used to explain course concepts and it also invokes learning from observation from class windows. To incorporate the naturalist intelligence, Kagan and Kagan(1998) suggest using categorization of class concepts. Activities such as blindfolded walks (for the purpose of relying on different senses), inferring, theorizing, keeping field logs, noting distinctions among similar items, understanding interdependence, hypothesizing, and experimenting all engage with the naturalist intelligence as well (Campbell, Campbell, Dickinson,1996).

Intrapersonal Activities

Strengths: Introspection and Self-Reflection

Individuals who are strong in intrapersonal intelligence are good at being aware of their own emotional states, feelings and motivations. They tend to enjoy self-reflection and analysis, including day-dreaming, exploring relationships with others and assessing their personal strengths.


Intrapersonal Intelligence Involves Being Aware of Self

•Keep a diary/journal about what they learn each day & what it means to them
•Share meaningful personal experience.
•Write about your perceptions.
•Focus on some particular weakness and strengthen it.
•keep track of his/her moods and feelings when working in a given area of study.
•imagine & create having a dialog with a famous figure, historical or otherwise.

Intrapersonal Intelligences

The person with intrapersonal intelligence can be introverted, prefers to work alone and has clear knowledge of what he or she needs in most settings. This knowledge is based on a very keen understanding of self. Such people may be excellent at self-reflection and possess clear goals for the future. They also may be highly motivated people because of what appears to be an innate understanding of what they need.

Some people who agree with Gardner’s theories believe that those who possess intrapersonal intelligence in great degree need opportunities to work alone, but may require some extra care because of a high level of perfectionism associated with this form of intelligence. Children who seem very self-reflective but that lack interpersonal skills might be served by being encouraged to work in group settings from time to time to develop other intelligences. The inherent danger of intrapersonal intelligence is that the person becomes too reclusive because he or she is most satisfied by his own thoughts or work. Helping such people learn not to isolate themselves and to tolerate others who may have different goals can be valuable.

In college, students are given an opportunity to reflect and express themselves through the materials they are learning. Students need to examine their belief systems and values in relation to the materials being studied or discussed and may call for higher-order thinking and reasoning such as synthesizing. Meta-cognitive processing where students need to think about and analyze their own patterns of thinking would play a pivotal role in the acquisition of intrapersonal intelligence. Activities such as autobiographical reporting, or reflective exercises which explore how certain issues or events have changed one's life lend themselves effectively to developing interpersonal intelligence.

Instructors can include the intrapersonal intelligence through activities such as independent study, self-paced instruction, individualized projects and games, private spaces for study, one minute reflection periods, encouraging personal connections, options for assignments or projects, exposure to inspirational/motivational curricula, journal keeping, self-esteem activities, and goal setting (Armstrong, 1994). Campbell, Campbell, and Dickinson(1996) also add the following activities for the inclusion of intrapersonal intelligence: compliment circles, individual acknowledgement, peer support, challenging students to learn, metacognition and encouraging the identification and expression of feelings.

•Conduct a meeting to solve problems.
•Resolve conflict.
•Discuss and debate an issue.
•Brainstorm on any subject.
•Interpret others' feelings.
•Join a sports activity group.
•Form activity or social clubs.
•Participate in group book reading and share views.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to make distinctions among other individuals in regard to their moods, motivations and temperaments and to communicate with others. Interpersonal intelligence would emphasize the ability of students to work as part of a group, which requires verbal and non verbal communication skills, co-operation and empathy within a group. The focus would be on learning in groups or in pairs. Students should be encouraged to use the knowledge and skills to help the group or partner succeed. Brainstorming, coaching, demonstration of certain skills, carrying out surveys and writing a report on the findings, projects, discussion and debates would be some of the activities under interpersonal intelligence.

To help students learn with and from others, instructors can incorporate cooperative groups, interpersonal interaction, conflict mediation, peer teaching, group brainstorming, peer sharing, community involvement, and parties or social gatherings as context for learning (Armstrong, 1994). Approaches such as encouraging the development of social skills and service learning are also interpersonally grounded (Campbell, Campbell, Dickinson,1996), as well as interviewing for knowledge and finding individuals with like interests. (Kagan and Kagan ,1998). To encourage interpersonal interaction in my classes, students often work in small groups that I assign. Later in the semester, students have become comfortable enough to choose their own groups.

Visual/ Spatial Career
