Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A school curriculum built on Howard Gardner’s theory of intelligence would provide ____
A
neuromuscular training because such skills underlie general intelligence
B
a diverse curriculum to cultivate a wide range of skills and talents, both traditional and nontraditional
C
training in logic, rhetoric, philosophy, and math to strengthen the general factor of intelligence
D
emphasis only on creative, artistic abilities and not the traditional emphasis on analytic abilities
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is b. a diverse curriculum to cultivate a wide range of skills and talents, both traditional and nontraditional.

Detailed explanation-2: -The theory claims that human beings have different ways in which they process data, each being independent. The eight types of intelligence described by Gardner include: musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Gardner, the implication of the theory is that learning/teaching should focus on the particular intelligences of each person. For example, if an individual has strong spatial or musical intelligences, they should be encouraged to develop these abilities.

Detailed explanation-4: -The multiple intelligences theory is connected to multisensory learning, which teaches that children learn better with activities that involve more than one sense. [14] Engage your students’ visual, tactile, auditory, and other senses to reach more students.

Detailed explanation-5: -Students often equate intelligence with grades and/or test scores. But teaching students about Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory can show them that they are all intelligent in different ways. This perspective can boost their confidence and increase their motivation to learn.
