Missing Paragraphs Exercise: Multiple Intelligences

1. The passage discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and how it challenged traditional views of intelligence being measured solely by IQ tests. 2. Gardner argued that there are at least seven distinct types of intelligence rather than just a single general intelligence, including verbal, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. 3. The passage examines how teachers can incorporate principles of multiple intelligences into their classrooms by allowing students to choose assignments tailored to their strengths and differing profiles of intelligence.

READING MISSIING PARAGRAPHS - CAE CAMBRIDGE EXAM

PART 1: Choose from the paragraphs A-D the one which fits each gap (1-4). (2 POINTS EACH)

Do all students really think the same? Should all students be required to do the same assignments and be
graded in the same manner? 1.
Howard Gardners work around multiple intelligences has had a profound impact on thinking and practice
in educationespecially in the United States (Smith, 2008, pg. 1).
Multiple Intelligence Theory has been quite misunderstood since Howard Gardner first introduced it
in 1983, when at the time most students were placed in classes based on a score from an general Intelligence
Quotient (IQ) test. 2.
Gardner felt that there was more to people than how well they could read or perform math skills.
Gardners multiple intelligence theory says that instead of one kind of general intelligence, there are at
least seven different kinds, which include verbal intelligence, musical intelligence, logical-mathematical
intelligence, spatial intelligence, body movement intelligence, intelligence to understand oneself, and the
intelligence to understand others. 3.
Im sure there are lots of different intelligences. Im sure kids differ in their profiles. Im sure an education
approach that pays attention to this is going to be more effective than one that denies it.
4.
I think teachers can make good use of the principles of Gardners ideas in their classroom. In this study I
will be examining how students perform on assignments that are geared towards their intelligence domain.
A. Even though Gardner has never endorsed an MI based curriculum, he is quoted in a TIME magazine
article by James Collins (1998), Heres a credo Ive never stated before.
B. After doing much research it is my opinion that all students do not think the same and at times it
may be best practice to let students choose their assignments based on their intelligences needs.
C. I think teachers can make good use of the principles of Gardners ideas in their classroom.
D. This general cognitive ability, known as the g factor was derived from Charles Spearman. In a
famous article, General Intelligence Objectively Determined and Measured, Spearman proposed the
idea that intelligent behavior is generated by a single, unitary quality within the human mind or
brain
