EDZU 9909 (3 credits / 45 hours) | |||
Howard Gardner, a graduate from Harvard, developed a multiple intelligence theory in 1983 and he published a book titled Frames of Mind explaining his theory. In his book he introduced nine distinct intelligences which all of us exhibit. These intelligences include visual/spatial, logical/mathematical, verbal/linguistic, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal, and naturalist. Gardner believes these intelligences can be nurtured and strengthened, or weakened and ignored. There have been many contributions made from Gardner’s theory. Many of them are prominent professors, teacher educators, consultants, and experts in the field. Thomas Armstrong, Carolyn Chapman, Ellen Weber and Jane Carlson-Pickering among the few. Today many educators incorporate multiple intelligences in their classrooms and are meeting the needs of the diverse classroom. In this course you will develop lessons and activities that incorporate all nine intelligences. You will see that it will add depth to your curriculum and meaning to the way you individualize instruction and prepare for students with many different learning styles. |
