CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The eight types of intelligence described by Gardner include: musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic. In 2009, he also suggested two additional types of intelligence, namely, existential and moral.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gardner defines an intelligence as “bio-psychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture.” According to Gardner, there are more ways to do this than just through logical and linguistic intelligence.

Detailed explanation-3: -As defined by Gardner, the intelligences are logical-mathematical, spatial, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because humans excel in different areas, Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory can provide students with a better understanding of how they learn. When students are able to identify which type of multiple intelligence they use to learn material, they can adapt the information to their learning (Bilash, 2009).

Detailed explanation-5: -Among them is the theory of multiple intelligences developed by Howard Gardner, Ph.D., John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University.
