Students are unique and need more than paper and
pencil learning. They vary in their capacities
and ways of processing information. They even
learn differently on different days.

Howard Gardners theory of Multiple Intelligence
states that individuals are capable of processing
information in at least seven multiple
intelligence, and having different abilities in
each area. The seven intelligences are
linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial,
musical, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and
interpersonal.
4
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

• Explores patterns and relationships
• Likes to problem solve and reason logically
• Follows sequential, logical directions
  
• Enjoys mathematics
• Uses experiments to test things out

Teaching Methods- charting, graphing, listing,
patterning, categorizing, sequencing, outlining,
measuring, reasoning, solving problems,
calculation, predicting, questioning, and
analyzing.
5
Linguistic Intelligence

• High auditory skills
• Enjoys reading and writing
• Has a good memory
• Spells words easily and accurately
• Uses language fluently

Teaching Methods- lectures, word games,
storytelling, debate, speech, reading, writing,
spelling, and listening.
6
Spatial Intelligence

• Enjoys art activities
• Reads maps, charts, and diagrams
• Things with images and pictures
• Does jigsaw puzzles

Teaching Methods- pictures, computer graphics,
slides, diagrams, posters, graphs, movies, mind
maps, and using different colors.
7
Musical Intelligence

• Sensitive to sounds
• Enjoys music
• Listens to music when studying or reading
• Sings songs
• Taps or hums rhythms

Teaching Methods-chants, clapping and snapping
fingers, poetry, music that matches the
curriculum, moving rhythmically.
8
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

• Processes information through body sensations
• Requires hands-on learning
• Moves and acts things out
• Uses body in unique and skilled ways and is often
  well coordinated

Teaching Methods- manipulatives, games,
simulations, laboratory experiments, movement,
hands-on activities, action-packed stories
9
Intrapersonal Intelligence

• Prefer working alone and being independent

Teaching Methods- independent study projects,
journals, need to develop trust
Interpersonal Intelligence

• Enjoys working with others and prefer studying in
  groups

Teaching Methods- group study projects and
activities

According to Teeles data in Rainbows of
Intelligence-

• Primary level students use more of their
  linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence
• Older students learn in more active,
  interpersonal and visual ways
• Males process more in logical-mathematical and
  spatial intelligence
• Females are stronger in linguistic intelligence

Conclusion
Educators need to provide a wide range of
materials to successfully teach in all the
diverse ways that learning takes place. They
should teach in multidimensional ways with
pictures, music, and movement using as much
audiovisual material as possible.
