I had studied Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theory and found that it is already in use in many places like play schools, colleges, and in most training sessions. None of us have utilized 100% because of various limiting factors.
Challenges in Implementing Theories
All that glitters is not gold. In the initial stage, everything seems to be interesting, but as we delve deeper, challenges pop up. Similarly, most of the proposed theories sound fascinating, but in reality, they are not. We human beings are blessed with multiple skills, and it is left to individuals to explore and utilize them to their fullest extent. Various theories are in practice (to some extent) by humans, but we do not know much about them unless someone has come up with a framework like what Howard Gardner did.
Seven Multiple Intelligences
For example, the seven multiple intelligences listed below are a part of most training programs practiced by trainers and trainees as well:
- Linguistic: words and language
- Logical-Mathematical: logic and numbers
- Musical: music, sound, rhythm
- Bodily-Kinesthetic: body movement control
- Spatial-Visual: images and space
- Interpersonal: other people's feelings
- Intrapersonal: self-awareness
The VAK Model is the most popular module used by trainers, and it has contributed to a greater extent towards successful delivery.
I wish to hear from other members (trainers especially) about its utilization.
With profound regards,
