| multiple intelligences | An educational theory developed by Howard Gardner that describes intelligence as the interaction of several skills - bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, naturalistic, intrapersonal, spatial, musical - not just the single number that traditional IQ tests yield. According to this theory, students will learn more when teachers use different methodologies, exercises and activities to reach all students, not just those who excel at linguistic and logical intelligence. |
