In my opinion, everyone has the ability to understand the universe through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial depiction, musical reasoning, using their bodies to create things or solve issues, knowing other people, and understanding themselves. The extent to which this intelligence is used and combined to accomplish various activities tackle multiple problems, and advance in different fields varies among individuals.
Interactional cognitive skills are both included in person-related levels of intelligence. Self-awareness, self-understanding, and the capacity to identify one’s strengths and flaws as a way of directing one’s behavior are all characteristics of integrative motivation. Understanding, perceiving, and appreciating others’ emotions and moods are examples of interpersonal intelligence. People that possess strong communication skills are able to cooperate reasonably, clearly communicate, empathize with others, and inspire others.
The most significant proof of this theory is the close interweaving of studies and types of education, so I am ready to agree with my classmate. Some people might think it is challenging to teach to all learning preferences. However, it is getting simpler as more professors use multimedia. It is becoming increasingly evident to teachers how and why different media is more efficient and how and why multimedia is appropriate for all learners. Multimedia has the ability to educate a diverse class or community and appeals to the various learning preferences that one person may have.
The educational system has a strong bias in favor of linguistic methods of evaluation and interaction, and to a lesser extent, in favor of logical, quantitative modalities. There is usually a dominant form of intelligence, though each person may have some degree of each type. The idea of multiple intelligences went on to education and social pedagogy, as well as pertinent policy and legislation around the world, with a focus on how teachers must evaluate students’ development in order to decide the best teaching strategies for each unique learner.
In addition to learning preferences, each person is also born unique without realizing it. This supports the classmate’s argument that each person is born with their own set of values and attributes. There are also many examples in the Bible of how specific attributes are used to serve the greater good, which I believe supports multiple intelligences. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (English Standard Version Bible, 2001. 1 Peter, 4:10). This quote, chosen by my classmate, shows that every person at birth receives a particular gift, which eventually manifests itself in practice.
Multiple intelligence tests can be used as a footing ground that can be used by teachers in making group engineering and physics learning design in the classroom that accommodates multiple intelligences. This is important, considering the distribution of multiple intelligence profiles in a class is not only dominated by one kind of multiple intelligences. It is necessary to improve and develop standard testing tools in order to create a worldwide assessment system, which in the future may be auxiliary in determining the career industry or education. Also, this test should be validated, as the results can be very different in different periods of life. In this case, my classmate’s method is a good example. This could be done using predictive validity measures by having college students take this test close to their graduation and then following up at a later time to test for validity.
