MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES (Howard Gardner)

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES (Howard Gardner)
In order to begin my essay about the importance of multiple intelligences in the secondary (mainly), it is necessary to know which are the multiple intelligences.
Howard Gardner is regarded as the creator of the theory of multiple intelligences, they relate to the influence of the environment that develops the individual, their cognitive, styles the willingness to solve problems and create products, so that todos are born with a few potential marked by Genetics, but those potentialities are going to develop in a way or another depending on our environment , experiences, received education, etc.
For Gardner intelligence is the ability to generate new problems, solve everyday problems and to create products, all of this within a cultural area.
There are 8 types of intelligences by Howard Gardner and are:
Intelligence lógica-Matematica: Persons with a well-developed mathematical logical intelligence are able to use abstract thinking using logic and numbers to establish relationships between different data. They are, therefore, in the resolution of problems, the ability to perform complex mathematical calculations and logical reasoning. Is therefore one of the two great privileged system education.
Intrapersonal intelligence: Intrapersonal intelligence is, according to the definition of Howard Gardner, in the set of capabilities that allow us to form an accurate and truthful model of ourselves, as well as use this model to engage us in an efficient way in life.There are three types of intrapersonal skills: ability to perceive own emotions, control emotions and motivate one same.
Intrapersonal intelligence largely determines the success or failure of the students. For the students is important because without ability to auto - motivate is no possible performance. Any learning represents an effort. Control of emotions is important not only during a review, but on the day to day. Any learning something new entails inevitable periods of confusion and frustration and tension. Students unable to handle that kind of emotions often are reluctant to try new activities, for fear of failure. Because it depends on that we finish the course in better or worse state mood is also important from the point of view of the teacher.

Interpersonal intelligence: Interpersonal intelligence is what allows us to understand others, relies on the development of two major types of skills, empathy and the ability to handle relations interpersonal.
Interpersonal intelligence is important for any student, because it is that allows you to make friends, work in groups, or get help when you need it. Learning is a social activity greatly.
Interpersonal intelligence is even more important from the point of view of the Professor, because without it we cannot understand our students, their needs and their motivations.
Physics-kinesthetic intelligence: it is the ability to use one's body to express ideas and feelings, and their particularities of coordination, balance, dexterity, strength, flexibility and speed, as well as propioceptivas and touch.

Her seen in children who Excel in sports, dance, physical theatre, or works of buildings using specific materials. Also in those who are skilled in the execution of instruments.
Spatial intelligence: it is the ability to assess with certainty the image visual and spatial, graphically represent ideas, and raising the color, line, shape, figure, space and their interrelations.

It is children that they study better with graphs, diagrams, tables. They like to do mental and conceptual maps. They understand very well drawings and sketches.
Intelligence naturalist: is the ability to distinguish, classify and use elements of the environment, objects, animals or plants. Both the urban and suburban or rural atmosphere. Includes the skills of observation, experimentation, reflection and questioning of our environment.
Intelligence Linguistics: verbal-lingüística intelligence is a human characteristic that is indispensable for social life and is often described as the sensitivity to sounds, rhythms and meaning of words, often arriving to become a passion to learn to express themselves both orally and in writing.
Through the reading and writing, this type of intelligence, although it has to be developed by all children therefore allowing them access to knowledge through reading has been encouraged, it is important that not eclipse other skills, especially those of those children who have an inclination special towards another type of activities like dance, the arts, management with images, etc. Traditionally in school language has given priority over other resources
Musical intelligence: Referred to as Musical intelligence to the facility which has a person to identify different sounds and perceive its elements (intensity, direction, tone, timbre and frequency), as well as be able to distinguish a sound among others at the time.
Howard Gardner emphasizes the fact that all minds are equally important. The problem is that our school system not treated equally and h given priority to the intelligence logical - mathematical and linguistic intelligence to the point of denying the existence of the others.
All these intelligences are important in the classroom because through these capabilities, the master must pursue strategies to enable each student to develop different types of skills, however, there are capabilities that are not exactly developed in the classroom if that is not already given since birth, in such a way that the child learns from home to develop these skillsHowever there are also cases in which multiple intelligences must be developed gradually, so the teacher is considered an important piece for the development of these capabilities in the students which allows the student to feel motivated and show greater interest and dedication in the teaching-learning model.
When I have practiced in the classroom I given eh tells of how a variety of students that have great skills which teachers should focus more to its development and is why it is very important that there is a possibly link where the motivation and confidence are the precursor of such capacities.
