Howard
Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This
theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the
extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore
learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according
to Gardner (1991)
- Visual-Spatial - think in terms of physical space, as do architects and sailors.
- Bodily-kinesthetic - use the body effectively, like a dancer or a surgeon.
- Musical - show sensitivity to rhythm and sound. They love music, but they are also sensitive to sounds in their environments
- Interpersonal - understanding, interacting with others. These students learn through interaction.
- Intrapersonal - understanding one's own interests, goals. These learners tend to shy away from others.
- Linguistic - using words effectively. These learners have highly developed auditory skills and often think in words.
- Logical -Mathematical - reasoning, calculating. Think conceptually, abstractly
