Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

• identify the person who developed the Theory of Multiple intelligences

• recognize the nine commonly identified intelligencies; and

• discuss the Multiples intelligence theory and Centered- based Learning.

• discover the guidelines in centered- based learning

 What is
Multiple

Intelligence?
The Theory of Multiple Intelligence (1983)
• proposed by Howard Gardner
• enlarged the parameters of intelligent
behavior to embrace the diversity of
human capacities (Bender, 2002)
• each person possesses capacities in all
nine intelligences
• Utilized to achieve three goals: (1)
matching instruction to the ways learners
learn,(2) encouraging learners to expand
their skills and develop their intelligences
as fully possible and (3) honoring and
celebrating diversity (Ozdemir et.al,
2006).
What is Center-
Based Learning?
Center-Based Learning
• Learner-centered educational
environment
• Providing and expanding
various styles and teaching
techniques
• Recognizes an individual has
multiple intelligences
• An approach emphasizes both
teamwork and individual
teamwork
Guidelines in Center-based Learning
1.Consider a theme of interest.
2. After deciding on a theme, teachers can
ask following questions:
Linguistic- How can I use the spoken
word?
Logical/mathematical- How can I bring
numbers?
Spatial- How can I use visual aids?
 Bodily-kinesthetic- How can I use the whole body?
Musical- How I can bring in music?
Interpersonal- How can I engage learners in group
work?
Intrapersonal- How I can I evoke personal
feelings?
Naturalistic- How can I bring in nature?
Existential- How can I bring in philosophical questions?

3. Create centers in the classroom with materials that are

appropriate for each identified multiple intelligences.
