Today, i don't want to share to all viewer about my life story... Suddenly, i think i want to share about pleasure and privilege that Allah give to every creature namely "Intelligence"...
All of u knew, human given brain to think, and this mind's distinguishes human with animal. So, lets we knowing a little bit about "MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE" that we knew or vice versa.
Multiple Intelligence
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are, linguistic intelligence ("word smart"), logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart"), spatial intelligence ("picture smart"), bodily-kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart"), musical intelligence ("music smart"), interpersonal intelligence ("people smart"), intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart"), and the last one is naturalist intelligence ("nature smart"). But, in this essay, only linguistic, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences will be discussed.
Howard Gardner’s theory says that intelligence can be learned throughout life. He also claims that everyone is intelligent in at least seven different ways and can develop each aspect of intelligence to an average level of competency. That’s mean, the theory of multiple intelligences has encouraged the idea that a person is not born with all the intelligences they will ever possess.
Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting’. (Gardner & Hatch, 1989).
Intelligence, as defined by Gardner, is the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are valuable in one or more cultural settings. The linguistic intelligence is the capacity to use language, your mother tongue, and perhaps other languages, to express what's on your mind and to understand other people. As teachers, we should have these types of talents to provide effective lesson. They can make activities like letter writing, storytelling and debating. Students who have these skills also will be able to read, write and communicate. They can understand words and manipulate the structure of language. Furthermore, they also know how to use grammar correctly and have wide range of vocabulary. This person learns best through saying, hearing, writing, and reading. For example authors, journalist, poets, editors, and writers. The famous people with linguistic intelligence are William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Earnest Hemmingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Emily Dickinson, Agatha Christie, T.S. Eliot and Rudyard Kipling.
Interpersonal intelligence is also one of the skills in multiple intelligences. Interpersonal intelligence, is understand other people. Whose are in this group may be able to quietly contemplate and assess one’s accomplishments. This ability we all need, but is at a premium if you are a teacher. Our lesson become meaningful when we know our student’s competent. Students who have this kind of intelligence will give feedback to the teacher or to their classmates. They also understanding other's feelings and happy when works in group. So, which students tend to this intelligence can choose their career like counselor, politician, teacher, psychologist and many other careers that they want. The most famous people in interpersonal intelligence are Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Ghandi, Oprah Winfrey, Jesse Jackson, and Martin Luther King.
The last multiple intelligence that will be discussed is intrapersonal intelligence. What is intrapersonal intelligence? Intrapersonal intelligence is self-knowledge and the ability to act adaptively on the basis of that knowledge. Students who have this kind of intelligence also can be able to work effectively with others to relate to other people. They also can increased their responsibility, self-direction and independence through this skills. Without we realizing it, the discipline problems were significantly reduced when students have their own intrapersonal intelligence. On the other hand, the teachers who have intrapersonal intelligence will become more creative and multimodal in their own thinking and learning. The well-known experts that used intrapersonal intelligence are Aristotle, Helen Keller and Mohammed.
In conclusion, all multiple intelligences are very important to teachers to innate strengths and talents and the unique learning styles for each of their students. Students also feel more comfortable and motivated when they know that their learning styles will be addressed. By knowing different kinds of multiple intelligences, teaching learning process in classroom will become more cheerful and interesting.
