What is intelligence? Which are the most important characteristics of it? Starting from these two questions that have a powerful impact over the researchers, Gardner fulfill to present a new meaning sense of the termen - intelligence, which continues to be discussed. During the article we will present some connections between the musical education systems of the 20th-21st centuries and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Even though some of them appeared before the theory, through his affirmations, Gardner manages to prove that the musical intelligence isn’t just a talent, it is in every human being. The study of the Theory Multiple Intelligence and the deepening of some of the well-known music education systems led to design and develop of some attractive and efficient music activities in school.

The theory of multiple intelligences has been embraced by the education and research communities worldwide. Substantial research has been conducted to understand multiple intelligences and learning. However, studies that examine how various types of technology affect across the board the different types of intelligences in learning is lacking. This chapter reviews the multiple intelligence (MI) theory and how emergent technologies can be used to support MI learning in education using a meta-analysis method. The results reveal that bodily-kinesthetic is most responsive to technology-based intervention compared to other types of intelligences and that immersive and visual images are effective in improving verbal linguistic and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences. Discussion of the findings are made along with their implications in educational practices. Suggestions for future research and practice are made in regard to multiple intelligence and emergent digital technology.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a discussion on the development of body expression as a mean of promoting disinhibition, in other words, the perception of one’s own body where there is other people. Consequently, it will produce motivation and promote creativity. In the foreign language classroom it is possible to get to this stage through the development of games, dance and activities that allow contact with the other. Thus, based on some questions raised by the cognitive development theory to treat the study of processes such as language, perception, memory, reasoning and problem solving and some discussion of the multiple intelligences theory of Gardner (1994), specifically about the bodily- kinesthetic intelligence, it is intended to analyze how the wok with body language can help in the development of a student's abilities and encourage his/her creativity and his/her process of acquisition and learning in the classroom, concretely, the foreign language class. In addition to bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Gardner proposes that each person has at least eight intelligences or cognitive skills which work together, but as autonomous entities that require interaction. The author assumes that all intelligences are equally important, although each person has an intelligence more developed than another, depending on the cultural setting in which he/she is inserted, which may explain, to some extent, why people learn in different ways, according to their skills. However, although all intelligences are equally important, our school system tends to emphasize logical-mathematical intelligence and linguistic intelligence to the point that, in some cases, deny the existence of the others. Therefore, education should be thought from a point of view which considers the different ways of learning and, in the specific case of the teaching and learning of foreign languages, it is important to adopt a "plural approach to cognition", not an "unilateral" one, different from many authors who have treated human development.RESUMENEste trabajo presenta una discusión sobre el desarrollo de la expresión corporal como uno de los medios de fomentar la desinhibición, la percepción del propio cuerpo en el espacio en que están los demás y, consecuentemente, produ-ce la motivación y promueve la creatividad. En la clase de lengua extranjera se puede lograr este desarrollo a través de juegos, danza y actividades que permitan el contacto con el otro. De esa manera, a partir de algunas cuestiones que plantea la teoría del desarrollo cognitivo al tratar del estudio de procesos tales como lenguaje, percepción, memoria, razonamiento y resolución de problema, y de algunas discusiones de la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples de Gardner (1994), específica-mente acerca de la inteligencia corporal-cenestésica, se analizará cómo el trabajo con la expresión corporal puede ayudar en el desarrollo de las capacidades del estudiante y fomentar su creatividad y su proceso de adquisición y de aprendizaje en clase, concretamente, en la clase de lengua extranjera. Además de la inteligencia corporal-cenestésica, Gardner propone que cada persona tiene, por lo menos, ocho inteligencias o habilidades cognitivas más que trabajan juntas, pero como entidades autónomas que requieren interacción. El autor asume que todas las inteligencias son igualmente importantes, aunque cada sujeto presenta una inteligencia más desarrollada que otra según el escenario cultural en el que se inserta, lo que explicaría, en cierta medida, por qué las personas aprenden de diferentes maneras, es decir, de acuerdo con sus habilidades. Sin embar-go, aunque todas las inteligencias son igualmente importantes, nuestro sistema escolar suele enfatizar la inteligencia lógico-matemática y la inteligencia lingüística hasta el punto de, en algunos casos, negar la existencia de las demás. Así, se debe pensar la educación desde un punto de vista que considera las distintas formas de aprender y, en el caso específico de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, se debe adoptar un “abordaje plural de la cognición” y no “unilineal” contrario al de muchos autores que trataron el desarrollo humano.

The theory of multiple-intelligences initiated by Howard Garner because of dissatisfaction with the education system, which introduced the intelligence quotient test system. The multiple-intelligences philosophy has changed the face of education today because it eliminates the distinction provided by schools to students. The multiple intelligences theory emphasizes that each is different and cannot be forced to be equal. This paper aims to discuss multiple-intelligences on student performance tests in 1st High School Tana Toraja. The author provides performance tests and questionnaire instruments to respondents. The results of the performance test and questionnaire instruments which had completed the performance tests and questionnaire instruments. The results showed that the students of 1st High School Tana Toraja were not optimal in using their intelligence to develop their potential. The reason is that students do not understand clearly the type of multiple-intelligence. Students are not interested in improving their type of multiple-intelligence and are more interested in developing other intelligence potentials.

Choosing the right career is always a big issue, an important concern for everyone. To have a job, which is suitable for you, firstly you must look at yourself, called the self, and you should be aware of what the self is then you can promote the strength of your own self and avoid your weakness. To help discover more about yourself, during researching and studying, we come up with the idea that we would propose a career counseling system based on Howard Gardner's theory. The system uses the theory of multiple intelligences (Abenti & Daradoumis, 2020) which is combined with the K-nearest neighbors (KNN) (Tang, Ying; Tang, Ying; Hare, Ryan; Wang, Fei-Yue;, 2020) algorithm to assist people and to give out a suitable suggestion about career path for them. We use the results of the eight intelligences retrieved from the KNN classification algorithm to give users the consulting for their career paths. This system is built with a dataset based on 56 multiple-choice questions. These include 48 multiple choice questions based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (Bravo, Leonardo Emiro Contreras; Molano, Jose Ignacio Rodriguez; Trujillo, Edwin Rivas, 2020), (businessballs, 2017) and 8 multiple choice questions which are the labels of the classifier. We divided the dataset into 8 subsets corresponding with 8 Intelligences defined by Howard Gardner with the collected dataset. In each subset, we build the KNN classifier model using KNN classification algorithm. This processing of 8 subsets come out with the results accuracy for the 8 Intelligences: linguistic intelligence (80.95%), logical-mathematical intelligence (82.14%), musical intelligence (96.43%), bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (82.14%), spatial-visual intelligence (82.14%), interpersonal intelligence (89.29%), intrapersonal intelligence (88.1%), existential intelligence (78.57%). With the outcome of 8 models, we have tested with 5 students and compared them to their actual intelligences. The comparison results tell us about the valuable potential in career path of the proposed counselling system, the advantages of this combination between Multiple Intelligence and KNN classifier.

Exploring learning style and multiple intelligence type of learners can enable the students to identify their strengths and weaknesses and learn from them. It is also very important for teachers to understand their learners’ learning styles and multiple intelligences since they can carefully identify their goals and design activities that can teach to the different intelligences, and design student-centered activities. This study aims to reveal secondary school students’ multiple intelligences and learning styles. It also aims to describe gender differences and the relationship between learning styles and multiple intelligences of the students. The research study employed a quantitative research design and the data were collected from the students of a state school in the winter term of 2015-2016 Education Year. The data were gathered by means of the two instruments: The Perceptual Learning-Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ), and the Multiple Intelligence Inventory. It was observed that the students had almost all these types of learning styles but mostly they were found to be tactile and auditory learners. The three intelligence groups: Naturalistic, Visual and Kinesthetic intelligences types received the highest score. The analyses also indicated that there was a significant difference between males and females. It was seen that most of the intelligence types and learning styles had a moderate positive correlation.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to discuss the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and to answer the question of appropriateness of the MI theory in the field of foreign language teaching. The paper also exemplifies the adaptation of the theory in the context of teaching English as a foreign language and foreign language teaching and learning in general by describing a set of activities and a lesson plan using the MI approach. The article reviews the types of intelligences described and defined by Howard Gardner and authors who followed and revised the theory in terms of language teaching. In addition, the article discusses the different modes of application of the theory of Multiple Intelligences in language teaching with young adults and adult learners of foreign languages. The article proceeds by grouping and listing possible activities and tasks which are appropriate for language learners with different sets of abilities or intelligences. In addition, the article provides a brief summary of the potential issues recommendations and conclusions regarding the implementation of theory of Multiple Intelligences and provides a sample lesson plan which provides activities and language learning tasks for the majority of intelligences defined

A learning style, or cognitive preference, is a consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in the context of learning. We can learn in many different ways, but when we use our preferred methods, we are generally at our best and feel most competent, natural, and energetic. There are many theories and various instruments to determine learning styles, but they are all essentially based on the idea that individuals perceive, organize, or process information differently on the basis of either learned or inherited traits. The related theory of multiple intelligences, introduced by Gardner (1983), states that every individual has a different set of developed intelligences, determining how easy or difficult it is to learn information presented in a particular manner. This can be seen as defining a specific learning style, although some authors (Silver, Strong, & Perini, 2000) claim that the multiple intelligences theory is centered around the content of learning in distinct fields of knowledge, while learning styles focus mostly on the process of learning.
