multiple intelligences in the classroom

How do you learn?
What's your own way of learning - whether it's a language or anything else?
And might asking these questions be helpful in the classroom or at home?

One specific idea can be interesting to discuss:

Multiple Intelligences

Not everyone is intelligent in the same way. Everyone has strengths that they should not ignore and get help from other people in areas where they are weaker. For example, the lawyer may not be able to fix a car. At the same time, the auto mechanic may not be able to argue a case in court. The lawyer has verbal/linguistic intelligence and the auto mechanic has bodily/kinesthetic intelligence. Everyone has several intelligences.

The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

The Multiple Intelligences concepts and VAK (or VARK or VACT) learning styles models offer relatively simple and accessible methods to understand and explain people's preferred ways to learn and develop. Occasionally well-intentioned people will write that the use of such models and tests is wrong because it 'pigeon-holes' people, and ignores the point that we are all a mixture of styles and preferences, and not just one single type, which is true. Please remember that over-reliance on, or extreme interpretation of, any methodology or tool can be counter-productive.

In the case of the Multiple Intelligences model, and arguably to greater extent VAK (because VAK is such a simple model), remember that these concepts and tools are aids to understanding overall personality, preferences and strengths - which will almost always be a mixture in each individual person.

Therefore, as with any methodology or tool, use Multiple Intelligences concepts, VAK and other learning styles ideas with care and interpretation according to the needs of the situation.
