What will be an ideal response?
(There are 9 intelligences):
1. Verbal-Linguistic is related to language and words.
2. Logical-Mathematical is related to reasoning and understanding abstract relationships.
3. Musical is related to responsiveness to elements of music including tone and rhythm.
4. Visual-Spatial is related to the use of sight and the ability to visualize objects and representations.
5. Bodily-Kinesthetic is related to physical movement and awareness of the body.
6. Interpersonal is related to person-to-person relationships.
7. Intrapersonal is related to self-refection and understanding of one’s self.
8. Naturalistic is related to an appreciation and use of the natural world.
9. Existentialist is related to striving to understand basic truths about life.
Gardner’s theory identified the many different ways children can be intelligent; it includes: Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Musical, Visual-Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic, and Existentialist. These strengths of young children can be recognized and planned for in early childhood classrooms. This view also supports the early childhood belief that quality programs are concerned about the “whole child” and finding the strengths of all children.
