What are three positive ways that multiple intelligence theory has been used in schools?

Question

Sorry didn't mean to repost this question. I goofed somewhere....LOL!

Answer 1

Didn't you ask this same thing yesterday? Can you specify?
Recess/P.E: many kids are gifted athletically. If there were no recess or time for kids to be active and play sports them we would not be allowing them to express themselves in the way they can do best.
Art/music: by offering these subjects, same thing. Some kids are talented and given a chance will be successful in these areas. How do you know unless you are encouraged or try?!
DVDs/movies in history and science: both areas deal with abstract information. By seeing historical costumes, or artifacts from the past, Visual learners can better imagine what like was like long ago. Computer animations or graphics of biology or microscopic things, how planets rotate etc. help the kids to visualize what these things look like.
Not all kids can learn at the same rate or in the same way.
Think of how some people can take directions just by listening: "turn right at the light, go two blocks north, then turn left.." Other people say"Just show me a map!"
Two different types of learners. Schools ought to try and reach as many styles as possible.

Answer 2

Howard Gardener's multiple intelligence theory has been used to cater to the needs of every child. For example, in a school for learning disabled near where I live, some children take classes that are geared toward music, since they are auditory learners. Some are in theater classes because they are kinesthetic. It provides children with more opportunities to bring out the best in them. Good luck.
