For long , the world gave much
importance to intelligence quotient (IQ).later in 1990’s Psychologists stressed
the importance of emotional quotient (eq).
Now new dimension to human
intelligence has introduced i.e. Multiple Intelligence. "We are all able
to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial
representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to
make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of
ourselves.” Every child differs in these dimensions of intelligences. If child
is not performing well in the academics that doesn’t mean he is not
intelligent. He might have other profile of intelligence. One student could
have more than two intelligences. Such intelligences are invoked and combined
to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems and progress in various
domains.
Each
child will have his own unique set of intellectual strengths and weaknesses.
These sets determine how easy or difficult it is for a student to learn
information when it is presented in a particular manner. Multiple
intelligence gives a student, whole new way to look at their lives and
examining their potentials. One can excel into different intelligences through
various learning styles such as –visual, kinesthetic (bodily) and auditory. It’s
commonly believed that most people favor some particular method of interacting
with, talking in and processing information. It can work as a fuel to
strengthen the multiple intelligences among children.
The awakening of one’s intelligence may be a time of great joy and meaning and may pave for personal growth and feeling of being in control.
Gardner proposed eight abilities that he held to meet these criteria:
- musical-rhythmic,
- visual- spatial
- verbal-linguistic,
- logical-mathematical,
- bodily-kinesthetic,
- interpersonal,
- intrapersonal,
- naturalistic
