Multiple Intelligences Students

By Leah Davies, M.Ed. In 1983, Howard Gardner, a noted Harvard psychologist and educator, wrote Frames of Mind. In it he claimed that human intelligence was more than a score gleaned from administrating an intelligence (IQ) test. He said that IQ tests cover verbal, logical, and some spatial intelligence, but lack acknowledgment of other forms of intelligence. After much research, he theorized that there are multiple intelligences that dictate how children and adults process and understand information. Dr. Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) validates what teachers have observed. Children think and learn in different ways. His work provides educators with a framework for reflecting on alternative methods of teaching and assessing student learning. He proposes that schools adopt the MI approach as an effective way to help every student master material. Using his approach, teachers identify and support each child’s capabilities.

Consider the different possibilities of how something in your day could have gone, and explore the consequences. This improves creativity and makes you a better p...

COVID-19: Governor Abiodun’s show of dexterity praiseworthy OPINIONS By Olamide Lawal The governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has shown to be a quality leadership personified. The governor has once again caught the high regard of Ogun residents following the adroitness with which he handled the criminality perpetrated by One Million Boys in some parts of the state recently, and the manner in which he current renders leadership to cushion the effects of lockdown that stare residents in the face in the wake of COVID-19 is also exemplary. No doubt, the governor’s handling of One Million Boys in the early weeks of lockdown and the ongoing delivery of palliatives are demonstrations of Thomas Jefferson’s maxim: “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government”. Without being immodest, everyone knows that the entire good people of Ogun are enjoying maximum security now, while the vulnerable have been direct beneficiaries...
