In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the different "ways of knowing" and in theories regarding different types of intelligence, including emotional intelligence (EQ) and related learning styles. Below you will find a series of links that you may find interesting. Multiple IntelligencesThe theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are a number of distinct forms of intelligence that each individual possesses in varying degrees. Gardner proposes seven primary forms : linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, inter-personal (e.g. insight, metacognition) and interpersonal (e.g. social skills). Gardner also emphasises the cultural context of multiple intelligences. Each culture tends to emphasise particular intelligences. Exploring "The theory of multiple intelligences" : accelerated learning network This site further unpacks the e mentioned above and offers an interesting test for you to ascertain your preferred intelligences. The Seven Learning Styles (Stacy Mantle)This article examines learning styles and several of these can be seen to have links to the concept of intelligences. Structure of Intellect (J.P. Guilford) This site explores Guilford's structure of intellect theory based around reasoning and problem-solving skills, memory, decision-making skills and language-related skills. These can be linked to both the concept of intelligences and also Edward de Bono's "Thinking Hats". |
