PMI of multiple intelligence theory

Positive

  • Students are given multiple entry points into the learning therefore promoting learner achievement.

  • When students are able to use their strengths in the learning, they will have agency and be more engaged in the learning.

  • Multiple Intelligences provides an opportunity for teachers to personalise learning

  • Multiple intelligences acknowledges a range of different skills and abilities that were not traditionally considered intelligence

  • Helps teachers create cross curricular links and/ or integrated units. For example researching information in English and creating a poster or a wall display. This would link verbal-linguistic and the visual-spatial intelligence.

  Minus

  • It takes time to plan for each intelligence when teachers are arguably busy enough.

  • Many students may not be aware in how they learn best and therefore it may be difficult to tailor the learning experiences.

  • You don’t want to limit children in thinking that they only learn in certain ways.

 
Interesting

  • Students are not restricted by their intelligence, but using students intelligences can help them achieve in other areas of learning.

  • There are misconception that if you lean more towards one type of intelligence that it is the only one you should use, when in fact it is better to use a range of intelligences.

  • In an ever changing society and with technology continuing to develop, should ICT ability be considered as intelligence?

  • Will the intelligence we have still be relevant in the next century? Will any other intelligence be added?
