Gardner’s Theory
My brief overview of Gardner’s theory and it’s significance
According to Gardner everyone learns differently, he argues that different areas of the brain serve as access points for different types of learning. Gardner identified seven types of intelligence and through his research found that these intelligences are all separated anatomically in the brain. They all compliment each other and function together to build skills and be able to solve problems. It’s significance according to Gardner implies that not everyone learns the same and should be taught according to one of the seven intelligences.
Summary of The Seven Intelligences
Logical- Mathematical-- students that are good with numbers and patterns and are able to think logically.
Linguistic- being able to express oneself through reading and writing and understanding the order of both.
Spatial-Visual- being able to remember and image or picture an image to solve a problem
Bodily- Kinesthetic- being able to learn through action , movement or hand on.
Musical- ability to recognize or learn through tones, rhythms or pitches.
Interpersonal- ability to relate and understand others.
Intrapersonal-being aware of one’s own feelings, emotional state and motivation.
Two Intelligences that apply to me
I would say the two intelligences that apply to me are Interpersonal Intelligence and Spatial-Visual Intelligence. I say Interpersonal because I am good at listening to people and being able to communicate with them. For some reason people are drawn to me and feel that they can share things with me that they wouldn’t otherwise share with someone else. Spatial- Visual Intelligence in order for me to learn something I first have to see a picture or be able to imagine who, what or when. For example when doing a project of some sort I either go online and try and find what I want or create it from the image I pictured in my
