I found the readings of Howard
Gardener's theory of Multiple Intelligence very useful. It helps to categorize the different levels
of intelligence and also the different learning diversity of learners in the
classroom and in everyday life. If we were to use one method/ tool to implement
in the classroom among the diverse learning style of learners, then there will
be problems resulting from this because not everyone learns the same way. As
educators Gardener’s theory helps us to employ differentiate teaching method in
the classroom to bring about learning.
I know at times, I fail to implement
the different teaching strategies which cater for the needs of my students with
mixed ability. However, the readings by Gardener and Bloom reminded me
that my students are all different and that they don’t always learn the same
way. Am also reminded that I should always cater for diversity within my
classroom with proper planning, analysis and assessment methods.
This activity helps to reinforce Gardener’s
theory of Multiple Intelligence and as an educator I have to address these intelligence
levels within my classroom. Therefore, I will implement Gardener’s theory of
intelligence into my teaching and learning process. I will review my syllabus
and learning outcomes more thoroughly and find ways to execute the intelligence
levels suitable for my learners as identified by Gardener.
