Transcript Mulitple Intelligences PPT

Multiple
Intelligences
The multiple
intelligences theory was
first published in 1983 in
Howard Gardner’s book,
Frames of Mind: The
Theory of Multiple
Intelligences.
Gardner derived his theory
from extensive brain
research, which included
interviews, tests, and research
on hundreds
of individuals.
Gardner defines an
“intelligence” as consisting
of three components:
1. The ability to create an effective product
or offer a service that is valuable
in one’s culture.
2. A set of skills that enables an individual to
solve problems encountered in life.
3. The potential for finding or creating solutions
for problems, which enables a person to
acquire new knowledge.
Instead of asking if someone
is smart, ask how he/she is
smart.
There are many ways each
person is smart. Even
though one intelligence
may be dominant, each
person possesses multiple
intelligences.
Why is it important that you
know which smart(s) you are?
Instruction can be based on this
information, reaching each
individual student & you can
capitalize on your strengths
and abilities!!
