Reflection on
Book: Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom - Armstrong
Chapter: 12 – MI and Cognitive Skills
Write a brief abstract of the chapter:
This chapter discusses how the use of the multiple intelligences can be used to help students achieve more in the classroom cognitively. It discusses this by using the skills of memory and problem solving as primary examples. It goes in depth as to how using the intelligences helps students to learn more effectively and develop the skill they are utilizing. For example when it comes to memory you could help students with spatial intelligences to visualize the concept, or for students with interpersonal intelligences the concept could be discussed. When it comes to problem solving bodily kinesthetic learners could act out the concept, where as naturalistic learners could use nature analogies to understand the concept. The chapter ends with many examples for how to foster cognitive skills in the classroom.
How did you connect to the reading? And briefly reflect on your thoughts.
This chapter is a good resource for methods of developing skills in the classroom, while still adhering to the needs of your learners. We appreciate the rich resource that this chapter is. We like how we are accomplishing two things in one by using the intelligence theory. Becoming a more informed student is only improved by becoming a more self-resourceful student at the same time.
