Essays on Theory of Multiple Intelligences

In this critical reflection I will consider Abraham Maslow’s learning theory called Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It consists of five needs which he strongly argues are needed to learn. I will also consider Howard Gardner’s learning theory of multiple intelligences. He argues that we are all diverse learners and have our own style of learning. This reflective summary is an attempt to develop an understanding of the ways learning is described to happen by both Maslow and Gardner and how these ...

Intelligence could be defined as the capacity for understanding, logical thinking, self-awareness, planning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, creativity, critical thinking, and the ability to problems solving. More precisely, it could be defined as the ability to receive the information and to process it as knowledge for applying to adapt to the environment and context as behavior. “Intelligence is the ability to find and solve problems and creates products of a value of one’s own culture.”- ...

Arnold (2004) indicates that many learning contexts have been traditionally organized and many teachers have practiced these contexts as if all learners had the same characteristics. However, a considerable amount of studies done in the area of learner differences in the last decades show that the students in English language teaching classrooms possess significantly different learning patterns coming from their diversified traits. According to Kubat (2018), these traits which are individual ...

The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the established notion of intellect as a single general intelligence based on IQ testing was too limited. In addition, the theory refutes the idea that a person was born with a fixed level of intelligence, remaining unchanged throughout their lives. Gardner advocates that intelligence was instead a composite of individual capacities working together to ...

Learning styles and multiple intelligences though they seem like two different topics both share several aspects where they evidently overlap. Learning styles as the term suggests are the patterns different individuals follow to acquire, remember and assimilate information and concepts for learning. Learning styles from my understanding suggests that individuals specifically learn through one or two dominant ways. However, based on Howard Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences outlines ...

We are living in the age of human competition with artificial intelligence which will not only test our capabilities as leaders but also as intelligent beings (Anderson, & Rainie, 2018).A couple of important questions that arise are: what will it take to not only survive but to thrive and lead in this 21st-century world? And, what main intelligence will set us apart from intelligent machines and other humans in our organizations and institutions that we work for?Intelligence has been simply ...
