INTRODUCTION HOWARD GARNER’S THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES The Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences was developed by a psychologist Howard Gardner in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. it speculates the individuals have eight or more relatively independent intelligences. The eight identified intelligences include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence (Gardner, 1999). According to Gardner’s analysis, only two intelligences—linguistic and logical mathematical—have been valued and tested for in modern secular schools; it is valuable to contemplate of that …show more content…

Linguistic intelligence basically involves the ability of using language efficiently to express oneself verbally or flowingly, and also to able to recall information by use of language. Logical-mathematical intelligence this type of intelligence entails the capability to evaluate problems logically, to perform mathematical tasks, and to investigate matters scientifically. Howard Gardner words state “it entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. Musical intelligence It includes skill in performing, composing and appreciate musical patterns. It also comprises the ability to recognize and compose musical tones, pitches and rhythms. According to Gardner musical intelligence goes along with linguistic intelligence. Bodily-kinesthetic …show more content…

Accordingly, in developing MI theory and its broader characterization of intelligence, Gardner did not focus on the creation and interpretation of psychometric instruments. Rather, he drew upon research findings from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, psychometrics and psychological studies of prodigies and savants. Through synthesis of relevant research across these fields, Gardner established several criteria for identification of a unique intelligence (see Table

Many ideas about the requirements of personhood have been circulating throughout Earth’s history. Many relate to religion and spirituality, and many of the others either contribute to the people v. property debate of the abolition movement or the contemporary pro-life v. pro-choice debates.

This character will then be juxtaposed with a character of a separate work: Lucky from Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.

While the first word (artificial) means directly man made, the second has been defined several times differently. However, the most recent and best description comes from the Harvard professor Howard Gardener in his book Frames of the mind "An intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings.” According to his definition, he proposed a theory that implies the presence of different kinds of intelligences that solve different type of problems. He categorized them in eight categories: Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence, Mathematical-Logical Intelligence, Visual-Spatial Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal, Naturalist Intelligence, and Musical-Rhythmic Intelligence.(sometimes the intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence are collectively called Emotional intelligence).

Testing intelligence now has become multidimensional in schools, migrating from a strictly test based system to an interactive platform where students are guided through project based learning, comprehensively assessing intelligence and capability. Lately, kids have not been getting the same message that adults got in the past.

Standardized tests have been a common feature of education systems for decades. They are intended to provide an objective measure of student learning and achievement, but there is growing concern that they are not an accurate reflection of intelligence.

In this essay, we will explore why standardized tests are not an effective way to measure student intelligence and suggest alternative solutions. Firstly, standardized tests only measure a narrow range of skills, primarily in math and reading.
