Asked by Jamie
The idea of Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are specific intelligences that are inherent in all individuals. The author, however, suggests that a preferred style may not necessarily be the best way an individual learns. With that in mind, what relevance do you see using the intelligences in your classroom in light of the fact that an individual’s preferred intelligence may not be the best way for them to take in and master new information? Outside of the classroom, what purpose do the intelligences serve in the way you interact with people at work or with friends?
