Multiple Intelligence Profile of Cristo Rey Regional High School
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
Intelligence refers to a general mental capability to reason, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to learn and understand new material, and to profit from past experience. Moreover, this can be measured by many different kinds of tasks. Likewise, this ability is expressed in many aspects of a person’s life. Intelligence draws on a variety of mental processes, including memory, learning, perception, decision-making, thinking, and reasoning (Microsoft Encarta, 2007).
The "Theory of Multiple Intelligences," as introduced by Howard Gardner in which argued that the traditional educational model favored verbal and mathematical intelligences, but that every person possessed several types of intelligence, some stronger than others, and that teachers should expand their teaching techniques and content to draw upon these multiple intelligences (Douglas, 2004).
The researcher’s had chosen he topic as they had observed in classroom, they noticed that students’ intellectual capacity and interests in learning varies because it’s varied, upon assessing their multiple intelligences, one can prepare his lesson suited to the kind of learners being handled. Moreover, as the researchers were sent to trainings, speakers always pointed out that MI should be applied as one of the learning styles to determine how a student had learned so that at the end of academic year, teacher and learner may realize that there are many ways to be “smart”. Thus, all forms of intelligences are equally celebrated, by having students create work that is displayed to parents and other members of the community. Parents should somehow be proud of and would likely to get more involved or boost students’ self-worth that will build their strengths and work towards becoming an expert or students may develop strong problem skills that they can use real life situations (Bellany and Baler, 2005).
