Teaching & Learning through Multiple Intelligences
Campbell, Linda; Campbell, Bruce; Dickinson, Dee
ABSTRACT:
In his studies of human capacity, Howard Gardner revealed a wider family
of human intelligences than previously suggested. Noting that
restricting educational programs to focusing on a preponderance of
linguistic and mathematical intelligences minimizes the importance of
other forms of knowing, this book presents strategies for creating open
systems of education utilizing the multiple intelligences philosophy.
The book's introduction details each of Gardner's seven intelligences
and what the book offers in terms of addressing each intelligence. The
succeeding seven chapters correspond to each of these intelligences: (1)
verbal-linguistic intelligence and learning processes, focusing on
speaking, reading, and writing; (2) logical-mathematical intelligence,
focusing on teaching of logic, mathematical processes, working with
numbers, and sequencing; (3) kinesthetic intelligence, focusing on
drama, creative movement, dance, manipulatives, classroom games,
physical education, and exercise; (4) visual-spatial intelligence,
focusing on pictorial representation, flow charts, visualization, board
and card games, architecture and the visual arts; (5) musical
intelligence, focusing on singing, musical notation, curriculum songs,
and musical instruments; (6) interpersonal intelligence, focusing on
positive interpersonal environments, conflict management, learning
through service, appreciating differences, multiple perspectives,
problem-solving, and multicultural education; (7) intrapersonal
intelligence, focusing on self-esteem, goal setting, thinking skills,
emotional expression, and self-directed learning; (8) "Curriculum
Development through the Multiple Intelligences," focuses on lesson
planning, apprenticeships, and teaching for understanding and (9)
assessment that enhances learning. (SD)
