Multiple Intelligences
Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion
of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight
different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and
Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on
people of our culture. However, Dr. Gardner says that we should also place equal attention
on individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences: the artists, architects, musicians,
naturalists, designers, dancers, therapists, entrepreneurs, and others who enrich the world in
which we live. Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts don’t receive much

reinforcement for them in school. Many of these kids, in fact, end up being labeled "learning
disabled," "ADD (attention deficit disorder," or simply underachievers, when their unique
transformation in the way our schools are run. It suggests that teachers be trained to present
their lessons in a wide variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role
play, multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more. The good news is that the
theory of multiple intelligences has grabbed the attention of many educators around the
country, and hundreds of schools are currently using its philosophy to redesign the way it
educates children. The bad new is that there are thousands of schools still out there that
teach in the same old dull way, through dry lectures, and boring worksheets and textbooks.
The challenge is to get this information out to many more teachers, school administrators,
and others who work with children, so that each child has the opportunity to learn in ways
The theory of multiple intelligences also has strong implications for adult learning
and development. Many adults find themselves in jobs that do not make optimal use of their
most highly developed intelligences (for example, the highly bodily-kinesthetic individual
who is stuck in a linguistic or logical desk-job when he or she would be much happier in a
job where they could move around, such as a recreational leader, a forest ranger, or physical
therapist). The theory of multiple intelligences gives adults a whole new way to look at their
lives, examining potentials that they left behind in their childhood (such as a love for art or
drama) but now have the opportunity to develop through courses, hobbies, or other programs
of self-development.

theory has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence
display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing,
telling stories, and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking
notes, and listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently
skilled at explaining, teaching, and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-
linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory
and recall and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. Careers which
suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, politicians, and
teachers.
This theory has to do with logic, abstractions, inductive and deductive reasoning, and
numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in
more accurate definition places emphasis less on traditional mathematical ability and more
reasoning capabilities, abstract pattern recognition, scientific thinking and investigation, and
criticize this intelligence by arguing that logical ability is often more strongly correlated
with verbal rather than mathematical ability: for example, the old Analytic section of the
Graduate Record Examination correlated more strongly with the Verbal section than the
Mathematical. One possibility is that formal, symbolic logic, and strict logic games are
under the command of mathematical intelligence, while skills such as fallacy hunting,
4
argument construction, etc. are under the command of verbal intelligence. Careers which
suit those with this intelligence include scientists, mathematicians, doctors, philosophers,
and economists.
The third theory of multiple intelligence is the Spatial intelligence. This theory has
to do with vision and spatial judgment. People with strong visual-spatial intelligence are
typically very good at visualizing and mentally manipulating objects. They have a strong
visual memory and are often artistically inclined. Those with visual-spatial intelligence also
generally have a very good sense of direction and may also have very good hand-eye
intelligence.
Some critics point out the high correlation between the spatial and mathematical
abilities, which seems to disprove the clear separation of the intelligences as Gardner
however, as the two intelligences do not precisely conform to the definitions of visual and
mathematical abilities. Although they may share certain characteristics, they are easily
distinguished by several factors, and there are many with strong logical-mathematical
intelligence and weak visual-spatial, and vice versa. Careers which suit those with this
theory entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.
It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Howard Gardner sees
mental and physical activity as related. This area has to do with movement and doing. In
this category, people are generally adept at physical activities such as sports or dance and
5
often prefer activities which utilize movement. They may enjoy acting or performing, and in
general they are good at building and making things. They often learn best by physically
doing something, rather than reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-
kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory; i.e., they
remember things through their body, rather than through words (verbal memory) or images
(visual memory). It requires the skills and dexterity for fine motor movements such as those
required for dancing, athletics, surgery, craft making, etc. Careers which suit those with this
The fifth theory is the Musical intelligence. This theory has to do with rhythm,
music, and hearing. Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display
greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. They normally have good pitch and
may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose
music. Since there is a strong aural component to this intelligence, those who are strongest
in it may learn best via lecture. In addition, they will often use songs or rhythms to learn and
memorize information, and may work best with music playing. Careers which suit those
The sixth theory is called the Naturalist intelligence. It has to do with nature,
nurturing, and classification. This is the newest of the intelligences and is not as widely
accepted as the original seven. Those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and
their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in caring for,
taming, and interacting with animals. They are also good at recognizing and classifying
different species. The theory behind this intelligence is often criticized, much like the
intelligence but rather an interest. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include
The seventh theory is the Intrapersonal intelligence. This has something to do with
interaction with others. People in this category are usually extroverts and are characterized
by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments, and motivations and their
ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and
empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They typically learn
best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate. Careers which suit those
with this intelligence include politicians, managers, social workers, and diplomats.
This area has to do with oneself. Those who are strongest in this intelligence are typically
introverts and prefer to work alone. They are usually highly self-aware and capable of
understanding their own emotions, goals, and motivations. They often have an affinity for
thought-based pursuits such as philosophy. They learn best when allowed to concentrate on
the subject by themselves. There is often a high level of perfectionism associated with this
intelligence. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include philosophers,
In essence Howard Gardner argues that he was making two essential claims about
multiple intelligences. He says that the theory is an account of human cognition in its
fullness. The intelligences provided 'a new definition of human nature, cognitively speaking'
(Gardner 1999: 44). Human beings are organisms who possess a basic set of intelligences.
The second one is that the people have a unique blend of intelligences. Gardner
argues that the big challenge facing the deployment of human resources 'is how to best take

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences has not been readily accepted
within academic psychology. However, it has met with a strongly positive response from
many educators. It has been embraced by a range of educational theorists and, significantly,
North America have looked to structure curricula according to the intelligences, and to
design classrooms and even whole schools to reflect the understandings that Howard
Gardner develops. The theory can also be found in use within pre-school, higher, vocational
This appeal was not, at first, obvious. At first blush, this diagnosis would appear to
sound a death knell for formal education. It is hard to teach one intelligence; what if there
are seven? It is hard to enough to teach even when anything can be taught; what to do if
there are distinct limits and strong constraints on human cognition and learning? (Howard
Gardner 1993: xxiii)Howard Gardner responds to his questions by first making the point that
psychology does not directly dictate education, 'it merely helps one to understand the
Seven kinds of intelligence would allow seven ways to teach, rather than one. And
powerful constraints that exist in the mind can be mobilized to introduce a particular concept
(or whole system of thinking) in a way that children are most likely to learn it and least
likely to distort it. Paradoxically, constraints can be suggestive and ultimately freeing.

While there may some significant questions and issues around Howard Gardner's
notion of multiple intelligences, it still has had utility in education. It has helped a significant
number of educators to question their work and to encourage them to look beyond the
narrow confines of the dominant discourses of skilling, curriculum, and testing. For
example, Mindy Kornhaber and her colleagues at the Project SUMIT (Schools Using
Multiple Intelligences Theory) have examined the performance of a number of schools and
concluded that there have been significant gains in respect of SATs scores, parental
the extent that Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory has helped educators to
reflect on their practice, and given them a basis to broaden their focus and to attend to what
might assist people to live their lives well, then it has to be judged a useful addition.
Project SUMIT (2000) uses the metaphor of Compass Points -'routes that educators
using the theory have taken and which appear to benefit students'. They have identified the
following markers that characterize schools with some success in implementing practices
When asked how educators should implement the theory of multiple intelligences,

innate level of emotional can be different than another’s, let’s look at a baby’s feelings of
fear.
Fear, of course, is a natural feeling. Its purpose, as designed by nature, is to help the
baby survive. A baby has a natural fear of abandonment because the baby knows its life
depends on others. When it is left alone, it feels afraid. A baby is also afraid of being
separated from its parents, so if a stranger tries to take the baby away from them, it is natural
for the baby to feel afraid. But not all babies respond to fear in exactly the same way. Let’s

other.

Facilitator. A student centered approach where the instructor facilitates and focuses
on activities. Responsibility is placed on the students to take initiative to achieve results for
the various tasks. Students who are independent, active, collaborative learners thrive in this
environment. Instructors typically design group activities which necessitate active learning,
much control and responsibility for learning on individuals or groups of students. This type
of instructor will often require students to design and implement a complex learning project
and will act solely in a consultative role. Students are often asked to work independently or
in groups and must be able to effectively work in group situations and manage various

these, each academic unit may have established local criteria. Contact your academic unit's

more inclusive goal of encouraging the professional development of teachers. These are to

levels -- are summative goals involving personnel decisions. The ninth objective, to give
administrator greater control over teacher job performance, does not fit into either category.
Most teachers perceive that evaluations at their school are used to promote the development
of improved teaching skills rather than to assist administrators and other teachers to make
judgments affecting personnel decisions for teachers. Furthermore, most teachers do not
believe that the latter goals should be objectives of performance evaluations at their schools.
Resiliency means being able to bounce back from life developments that may feel
totally overwhelming at first. When resilient people have their lives disrupted they handle
their feelings in healthy ways. They allow themselves to feel grief, anger, loss, and
confusion when hurt and distressed, but they don't let it become a permanent feeling state.
An unexpected outcome is that they not only heal, they often bounce back stronger than
before. They are examples of Wilhelm Nietzsche's famous statement, "That which does not

in a detached way thinking that the technique will make things better. Then when things
don't turn out well, they blame the technique for not working. This is like tossing a can

A few people are born resilient. Like natural athletes, they have it in them from the
start. The rest of us have inborn resiliency potentials that we can access and develop if we
choose to. You were born with the ability to learn how to hold up under pressure, adapt
quickly to change, bounce back from setbacks, and find ways to have bad situations to turn

is to understand that we humans can learn new abilities at any age. Developing your

Student Learning. Miller (1981) notes that teacher morale "can have a positive
effect on pupil attitudes and learning. Raising teacher morale level is not only making
teaching more pleasant for teachers, but also learning more pleasant for the students. This
Students’ Achievement. Morale and achievement are also related. Ellenberg (1972)
found that "where morale was high, schools showed an increase in student achievement."
Teachers’ Health. Conversely, low levels of satisfaction and morale can lead to
decreased teacher productivity and burnout, which is associated with "a loss of concern for
and detachment from the people with whom one works, decreased quality of teaching,
depression, greater use of sick leave, efforts to leave the profession, and a cynical and
27
Sometimes teacher morale drops almost imperceptibly over time, so subtly that
teachers may not be fully cognizant of the decline. Nothing can change, however, in the
absence of awareness. If teachers are to be encouraged, they must first recognize their
diminished status--that they are "discouraged--and take action to become 'couraged' again"
(Bolin 1987). Reassessment, when coupled with renewal, can often lead to encouragement.
renewal "implies recovery. To become renewed, teachers must reopen the case for teaching,
looking again at why they chose to set out on such a vocational venture" (Bolin).
Berman (1987) also emphasizes the need for individuals "to give attention to the care
who get excited about ideas and people. Teachers need to be able to keep the freshness and
spark that frequently mark a novice in the field, while at the same time embedding freshness
Berman advises teachers to consider what is uplifting and energizing for them and
then work toward integrating those things more fully into their lives. She suggests breaking
out of routines and doing the unusual, planning for next steps in professional development,
developing a network of individuals to dialogue with, and investing fully in tasks at hand as
routes to replenishment.
Administrators also influence teachers’ morale. People who feel empowered tend to
have higher morale. As Maehr, Midgley, and Urdan (1993) state, "People are more
personally invested in their work with an organization when (1) they have a voice in what
happens to them; and (2) their work has meaning and significance in contributing to a higher
28
purpose or goal."
When teachers' sense of self-determination and purpose are supported, teachers relate
By treating teachers in ways that empower them, such as involving them in decisions
about policies and practices and acknowledging their expertise, administrators can help
Principals can also strengthen teacher morale by actively standing behind teachers.
Effective principals serve as guardians of teachers' instructional time, "assist teachers with
student discipline matters, allow teachers to develop discipline codes, and support teachers'
satisfaction and morale, they must also be nurtured, supported, and valued by the broader
school community. When teachers are provided with what they need to remain inspired and

RESPONDENTS PROFILE
The given profile below were the teacher respondents for the Multiple Intelligences,
Emotional Intelligence, Resiliency Skills and Abilities, Teachers’ Morale and Teaching
Multiple Intelligence of the Teachers. The seven multiple intelligences for the
teacher respondents are shown in several tables. Table 1.A shows the Bodily-Kinesthetic
The given data shows that the highest mean of 4.2 were obtained by the two (2)
teacher respondents while the lowest mean of 3.2 was obtained by the three (3) teacher
respondents. The overall mean for the Bodili-Kinesthetic ability is 3.7 which is interpreted
as Strong Ability.
