MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCES
“In our descriptions of our activities in the classroom, we do not see too
many opportunities for students to employ all their intellectual
capacities. And one wonders about the significance of what students learn while listening sitting
or performing relatively repetitive exercises, year after year. A part of the brain known as brain Magoun,
is stimulated by novelty. I think that students who
spent twelve years in schools have
not had the opportunity to experience
much news. Then: a part of the brain is asleep?.”
John I. Goodlad.
The theory of multiple intelligences, promote that
this does not happen. Teachers
need to increase their repertoire of
techniques, strategies and tools.
According to the
study of
John Goodlad in
the U.S., he noted that almost 70%
of class time is consumed by the teacher giving instructions or explaining the lesson.
To better
understand the multiple
intelligences, I present a table
that explains the eight
intelligences:
Then I created a
schedule of IM:
The first step is to establish a way to plan our lessons using Multiple Intelligences:
• We will focus on a specific issue or objective and write in the middle of a sheet.

• Formulate key
questions. These questions
can help us and be more creative .
• Consider the possibilities : what methods and materials are best suited ?
I'll have to consider my goal. Such as using discussions, visual presentations puzzles , dancing, ....
•Brainstorm: about the activities.

• Select
appropriate activities.
• Establish a
sequential plan.
• Put the plan
into practice: Gather the necessary materials and modify the plan according to
the needs of the students.
