multiple intelligences (mi), second/foreign (l2) proficiency and gender are postulated to contribute to language learning strategies (lls). this study, first, examined whether there was any relationship between iranian efl learners’ lls, on the one hand, and their mi, l2 proficiency, on the other hand. in so doing, it explored the relationship of the overall l2 strategy as well as individual st...

The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits and multiple intelligences, and learners’ reading proficiency. To this end, 384 graduate EFL students participated in the present study. Two questionnaires, namely the NEO personality inventory-revised, and McKenzie’s (1999) MI inventory as well as a sample TOFEL reading comprehension test were used to collect the data. ...

Teachers should have acceptable ratios of multiple intelligences. Knowing their most dominate intelligence, teachers will be capable understanding and considering the intelligences students. Accordingly, they able to use Gardner’s theory as an effective approach teaching for all kinds learners not limited a specific type students especially those who high verbal-linguistic logic-mathematical

This paper addresses the designing of Online Multiple Intelligence (MI) Teaching Tools for Polytechnic lecturers. These teaching tools can assist lecturers to create their own teaching materials without having any knowledge of Information Technology (IT) especially in programming. The theory of MI is used in this paper and this theory postulates that everybody has at least two or more intellige...

Article history: Received 23 October 2007 Received in revised form 3 May 2010 Accepted 8 July 2010 Available online 3 August 2010 This paper compares different theoretical models of the structure of intelligence, based on the analysis of data obtained in a series of measured abilities corresponding to the Spectrum assessment activities (Gardner, Feldman & Krechevsky, 1998) in a sample of 393 ch...

There is overwhelming evidence that human intelligence is a product of Darwinian evolution. Investigating the consequences of self-modification, and more precisely, the consequences of utility function self-modification, leads to the stronger claim that not only human, but any form of intelligence is ultimately only possible within evolutionary processes. Humandesigned artificial intelligences ...

The paper deals with didactical scenarios on the notion of geometric congruence based on previous successful experience with using a specific model T which reflects the relations among structures, activities and intelligences (in the sense of Howard Gardner). The underlying idea is that different representations of the same object of study (Figure 1) enable the learner to use his/her strong int...

A large body of research work demonstrates the importance and effectiveness of adapting a learning game to its players. This process is driven by understanding the differences between individuals in terms of abilities and preferences. One of the rather interesting but least explored approaches for understanding individual differences among learners is Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences ...

The present study investigated the possible relationships between multiple intelligences, critical thinking and language proficiency level of Iranian English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The participants of the study included 117 intermediate young - adult EFL learners from ILI language i n- st i tute in Tehran, Iran. The participants were invited to complete MIDAS and Critical thinking ...

Correlational studies supporting the link between learners’ multiple intelligences and their learning are superseded by interventionist attempts to explore direct applications of Multiple Intelligence (MI) Theory in language teaching and learning. This quasi-experimental study examined the extent to which engaging ELT major university students in writing tasks, compatible to their dominant inte...
