Chapter 4 MI

Research shows that “children benefit from instructional approaches that help them reflect on their own learn processes.” When shown properly, students can discover proper techniques for problem solving. In order to help students discover which of the multiple intelligences they find their strongest, teaching the MI model in all eight intelligences is how a teacher should explain the model. There are many different way children of different intelligences can find which is their strongest. Taking field trips, reading biographies, experiential activities are just a few examples. Having students learn in each of the eight intelligences is a strategic way to help them discover which one works for them.
