Teaching toward Multiple Intelligences: Identifying the characteristics of multiple intelligence through behavioral observation and instruction.
Introduction
In order to identify the characteristics of multiple intelligence through behavioral observation and instruction, one must first know what multiple intelligences are in theory and the practice behind them, before teaching toward them. Teaching toward multiple intelligences entails identifying the characteristic(s) of the multiple intelligence(s) that each student possesses, through the use of observation and instructional techniques. Research has been conducted on this subject by forerunners in the field. One of the major contributors of The Multiple Intelligence theory is Howard Gardner.
Multiple intelligence theory originates from the late seventies to the early eighties. In some sense it can be considered the birth child of Howard Gardner, Professor of Education and Co-Director now Senior Director of Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Adjunct Professor of Neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Before discussing multiple intelligences, we must first understand what they are.
