3. WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE?
It is the ability to learn
about, learn from,
understand, and interact
with one’s environment.
Howard Gardner viewed
intelligence as “the
capacity to solve
problems or to fashion
products that are valued
in one or more cultural
setting.”
4. MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
THE BIG “8”
1. Linguistic and verbal intelligence: good with words.
2. Logical intelligence: good with math and logic.
3. Visual/Spatial intelligence: good with pictures and space.
4. Kinesthetic intelligence: good with activities.
5. Musical intelligence: good with rhythm.
6. Interpersonal intelligence: good with communication.
7. Intrapersonal intelligence: good with analyzing things.
8. Naturalist intelligence: good with understanding the
natural world.
5. STUDY SKILLS VS. LEARNING
STRATEGIES
• Study Skills: Are the various
techniques you utilize in which to
learn certain subject matters.
• Learning Strategies: Is the plan of
action that incorporates various
study skill techniques.
8. LINGUISTIC LEARNER
• Acronym mnemonics use words, focusing on the first letter of the word
to make up another word or memorable sequence. You can also
make up phrases using the items you want to memorize.
• e.g. HOMES and WYSIWYG
• Note taking/Summarizing is a powerful tool for you. You don’t just
have to write things down. Record your summaries using a tape or
digital audio recorder (such as an MP3 player, iphone), and use it
later for reviews.
• Read aloud dramatically—perhaps even with an accent, and use a
digital audio recorder (such as an MP3 player, iphone), to record and
listen to lectures or to record and listen to notes you read.
10. LOGICAL LEARNER
• List the key points of what you are learning in a
logical, numbered sequence.
• Make a flow chart or diagram that expresses what
you are learning in a step-by-step manner.
• Create a file management system for school.
• Create a study schedule and organize your time on
paper or software (Microsoft Excel).
15. SPATIAL LEARNING STRATEGY
Study and create maps, diagrams and graphs
using graph paper to demonstrate key points.
Use visual clues or landmarks rather than (verbal)
sequential steps.
Look for visual/spatial dimensions in your study
Use the Cornell method of note taking to create
and organize lecture notes using various colored
pens.
16. CORNELL NOTE-TAKING TECHNIQUES
Perfectionism for
visual/spatial
learners is:
- a well-ordered
and designed
space with each
object in its place
and appealingly so.

18. INTRAPERSONAL LEARNING
STRATEGY
• Time alone.
• Self-paced projects.
• Study in a quiet setting.
• Keep a “Learning Journal” where you start to make the
connections of the things you’ve learned and the projects
you’ve completed.
• Relate study material to your life. Look for something of
personal significance in whatever you are studying.
• Write short summaries of what the material means to you.
• Consider the causes and effects involved.
• Try EVERNOTE!
21. INTERPERSONAL LEARNER
• Use a buddy to help you study.
E-mail/phone
• Teach what you are learning to someone else
(Tutoring).
• Compare notes with someone else taking the
course that may have a different MI.
• Form and work within study groups.
• Choose study areas where is highly populated.
• Use online collaboration tools like Google Docs
23. KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
• EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE !!!!!
• Walk around while reading.
• Listen to recorded lectures while exercising (treadmill).
• Act out or role play what you are learning.
• Practice a skill as soon as it is learned—hands-on experience.
• Let the information sink in while you take a walk or go do something
else.
• Paraphrase information on post-it notes and arrange the ideas on a
large surface.
• Take notes on postcards and then arrange the topics so that they
make better sense to you or make new relationships.
• Use the computer to type.
25. VISUAL LEARNING STRATEGY
• Color highlight new ideas.
• Write down what is heard and later create a visual
storyboard of that class lecture.
• Create graphs and diagrams and place them throughout
your notes.
• Create a poster, cartoon, a video, or time line.
• Use symbols instead of words. (make a legend)
• Use multi-colored pens to write down your notes.
• Paraphrase what you just read by creating a mind map of
your ideas.
29. MUSICAL LEARNING STRATEGY
• Make-up and repeat rhymes to remember facts, dates,
names, etc.
• Set some key points to a familiar song, jingle or theme.
• Play appropriate background music as you think about
the topic. Quiet classical music has proven to stimulate
the emotional center of the brain.
• Try to choose music that represents what you are
learning. Review MP3 audio books while they drive.
33. NATURALIST LEARNING STRATEGY
• The universe is your classroom.
• Spend time outside noticing patterns in nature.
• The uses of all of your natural senses:
Hearing
Seeing
Smelling
Touching
Tasting
• Take hikes , visit the beach, sit in a park and re-write your note
and /or complete your homework assignments.

Notes de l'éditeur
Well according to Howard Gardner, a developmental psychologist and a professor at Howard University, Intelligence is the capacity to do something useful in the society in which we live. Intelligence is the ability to respond successfully to new situations and the capacity to learn from one’s past experiences.”
