According to Merriam Webster, intelligence is “the ability to learn or understand things or to cope with new or difficult situations.” Howard Gardener discovered the theory of multiple intelligence, namely musical, kinetic, linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, spatial, logical and existential intelligence. Unlike the normal school setting, Gardner's theory contributes to students' learning abilities by focusing on their strengths. Gardner believes that understanding these multiple intelligent theories will help students strengthen their knowledge. Gardner believes that each individual has the ability to use multiple intelligences, but some are stronger in one area than others. For example, some people who feel comfortable on farms or in any other natural environment have natural intelligence. Nature intelligence is about observing the environment. Natural intellectuals have jobs in the natural environment; they notice patterns in nature and enjoy being in the presence of animals. Children who appreciate nature are interested in senses such as touch, sight, smell and taste. Natural intelligence comes automatically because you explore nature, but musical intelligence you practice more to achieve the level of satisfaction. Musical intellectuals can create and reproduce music. Studies show that music and mathematics share a connection because they have a similar thought process. One study "showed that when groups of first graders received music instruction emphasizing sequential development of musical skills and games involving rhythm and pitch, after six months the students performed better in mathematics than students in groups who received traditional musical instruction. (Zhan, 2002). Musical intelligence deals with rhythm and middle of paper...... physical skill and the ability to manipulate objects. People who possess bodily kinesthetic intelligence are athletes, dancers and surgeons. (Gardner, nd) These children work best by being hands-on, learning with games and having a lot of movement, on the other hand spatial intelligence is the ability to visualize the world and transform information with the eyes of the mind. Spatial intelligence is when people focus on visual imagery and spatial judgment. Potential career choices for the spatial learner are architect, artist, and engineer. They also include directions, maps, tablets, illustrations and arts. (Gardner, nd) Overall, understanding multiple theories of intelligence will increase the student's ability to learn and they will retrieve information more effectively. They will be interested in school subjects and this will strengthen their knowledge.
