My Brief Overview of Gardner’s Theory and its Intelligence.
Gardner reasons that different areas of the brain serve as access points for different types of learning so; therefore, he believes that everyone learns differently. Through his research not only did he identify seven intelligences, he also found that each one of those intelligences is located in separate parts of the brain. Its significance implies that since everyone does not learn the same way, they should be taught by one of these intelligences: the one that best fits that individual.
My Summary of Gardner’s Seven Intelligences
Logical-Mathematical: Being able to learn with numbers and patterns.
Linguistic: Being able to learn by expression of oneself through reading and writing.
Spatial: Being able to learn by remembering images or picturing images
Musical: Being able to learn with musical pitches, tomes and rhythms.
Bodily-Kinesthetic: Being able to learn hands on, action or movements.
Interpersonal: Being able to understand and relate to others.
Intrapersonal: Being able to understand and recognize one’s own feelings and motivations.
The two Intelligences that best apply to me I think are Bodily-Kinesthetic and Interpersonal. I learn best by doing things myself, Show me how to do something and I will learn it with most ease. When I first started working as a pharmacy technician I was concerned that I wasn’t going to know my way around the pharmacy even though I graduated at the top of my class. Textbooks and classrooms is one thing but being in the actual pharmacy was a whole different ball game. Once I began and I was taught each station in the pharmacy, I began feeling more at ease. I wanted to learn more and more and became very proficient at my job. Although I also learn by writing things down and even by remembering things, when I am taught by physical
