MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is the
facility that people have for doing a task. Teacher must apply different
techniques that facilitating the learning of each student. It is important to
know that existing different types of intelligences and these must be present in
the teaching-learning process. Howard Gardner said that all people are
intelligent in different way, he defined the word intelligence in this way "An intelligence is the ability to
solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more
cultural settings (Gardner,1983/2003, p. x)", and he classify in eight
different intelligences: Linguistics, Mathematical, Musical, Spatial,
Naturalists, Bodily-kinesthetic, Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence.
We know that all
people are intelligent because everyone can do something much better than any
other. People should find out what their strengths and apply them in their
daily lives for better performance. It is important that the teacher discover
the intelligences of each student for this doesn’t lose.
It is important that the teacher knows his/her
students because this facilitates the teaching-learning process. The teacher
can apply different techniques for students improve in the learning process as
some students don`t learn easily as other. The teacher has the responsibility
to find ways for students to learn easily because when the student feels the
teacher is worried by her/his learning he/she makes an effort to improve too.
According to Howard Gardner al people are intelligent but
so they can discover this we must provide the necessary tools. Howard Gardner talked about the old
conception about the term Intelligence “In the heyday of the psychometric and
behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single
entity that was inherited; and that human beings - initially a blank slate -
could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an
appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely
the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent
of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints;
that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly
difficult to teach things that go against early 'naive' theories of that
challenge the natural lines of force within an intelligence and its matching
domains. (Gardner 1993: xxiii)”.
In conclusion, all people develop
intelligence but this does not mean that people are not able to develop the
other intelligences. We can say that our
intelligence is one that does not require much effort for us, all people are
able to develop all intelligences but all these are not develop with the same
ease. It`s important that the intelligence of each people is fed for that this
is not lost.
