A mile wide and an inch deep. I have been saying this for years and I've never studied education until now. Kids only pay attention to pass the test, and don't deeply understand the material. Like he said, we need to have priorities and go deeply into them. 100% agree Mr. Gardner.

Dam this guy should be secretary of education and try to fix our system

I can listen to this guy. He didn't bore me to tears because of the inflection of his voice. He makes excellent points also.

i agree. Also the pause when he ends a topic.

Excellent reminder of what teachers and schools should be doing!

i wish i had a teacher like him earlier in life but im glad i found him now.

This may be KZread's most brilliant eight minutes.

Very nice concentrated dose of essential 'wisdom'! Thank you to Doctor Gardner and Edutopia. One can only hope that this reaches the teachers and administrators in significant-enough numbers to make a difference.

People like this man speak a universal reason that makes great sense. It would be good to explain this to teens at high school at a time when they are thinking about how they compare to each other.

I've thought this for years! This is really affirming to hear about.

I 'so' support what Howard Gardner states here. Having been through rote learning, I still remembr so many facts, but in the long term they have not assisted me much in my chosen career, except to know who, when, why, how and what. Those areas that really impacted was when I got involved with my daughter's education. Those that took away the rote, limited the 'vastness', but brought it back to understanding, research and delivery of a results-orienetated assignment based in those two, with a well thought out assessment/criticism of the topic, self-assessed before handing in. This showed me she had truly thought it out, made a statement and made a commitment to the final view of her research work. And that is what is expected of us in the workforce - research, review, assess and most of all commit. And no, it's not just related to the office 'johnnies' - even those talented individuals witha more practical approach have developed, through a system of 'lateral learning and thinking', ways to effectively produce amazing results. So I agree, limit the extent of the knowledge and prevent the student from being overwhelmed. Rather bring it right back to deeper understanding of a few subjects, with a knowledge of expectation and a route of self-assessment before delivery. Produces a most amazing outcome in young people who are able to walk away from an education with their faith and trust in themselves and their abilities till intact.

Every teacher and every class at our school utilizes Dr. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. We've made a few videos (that are posted on our KZread page) that show examples of it in action.

I’ve followed Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences with a passion for many years. I taught MIs to all of my students - children and adults, from the time there were only 7 intelligences in Gardner’s theory. I answer a out of questions on Quora about education. I believe in it because so much emphasis is on IQ in the USA, yet they can’t test anything outside the four corners of a piece of paper or a computer screen. Someone with Asperger Syndrome may score very high in an IQ test, but can never be happy in a relationship because they have neither Intrapersonal or Interpersonal intelligence. A gifted musician may have a low IQ score even though they have an abundance of musical talent although this is never assessed in an IQ test, although Musical Intelligence should be. It’s impossible within the set boundaries of a written test. The same goes for elite athletes. IQ tests are only valued by people who score highly. What students need to learn is how to work smarter with what they have. Forget bloody IQ tests! They shouldn’t define success as they are far too narrow.

A theory which every teacher/educator should know & understand.

I enjoyed this video. I am studying this in my college course for teaching. It is a real eye opener. Howard Gardner's theory is better understood for me by watching this video. Very useful information for teachers. :)

This is an excellent explanation, also Dr. Gardener has a very easy-listening voice.

High school drop out here, GED all the way! If men like this are honestly heard we may be able to actually make a difference. I will post this link on my FB and hope all will do the same. I have an IQ (according to Mensa Int.) in the top two percent of the world (149). Had schools been like what this kind man has described, things may have gone differently for me. Kudos, my friend, may success find you wherever you go!

There is something in his voice or the way he speaks that is quite attractive (for lack of better word I can think of as English isn't my first language). You just want to keep listening him and it doesn't feel tiring

I read and learned a lot about MI. The video tells more about MI but also about Howard Gardner. It's interesting what he tells you in this youtube-clip.

I love this. I fully support and agree with the logic. This should be shown to every prospective teacher and then re-shown every year to remind them, that children are not all the same in the way they learn and the teachers themselves with be challenged to think outside the box to offer the best education possible to our children.

Very good teaching ,

Fantastic! that's how teachers should be thinking and planning learning.

Hats off for this man! you are way ahead of your time Mr, the world is yet to catch up

Very informative thank you

Lol! Good for you. I am a teacher. Tomorrow, I will teach a lesson about Multiple Intelligences. Gardner developed the theory of MI in the early 1980s and has worked on them for a long time. Recently, he has been developing different types of "minds" such as the ethical mind, the creative mind, etc and what he would do to education, etc, if he was a policy maker. Anyway, best wishes to getting your teacher to teach Multiple Intelligences.

What a brilliant mind. No doubt the negative comments to Gardners message illustrates perfectly the missed opportunity for people to have improved their interlect under a multiple intelligence learning system.

This video made my day. ♥

One of the most significant theories in modern history, and one of the foundations of our innovative music program from Vienna!

Chryll Rajh. BEd. ECDFS. UWI. Year 3 Student.I believe Mr. Gardner is on point when he relates that learning is evolving in the many Intelligences that one aspires to use as a learning tool for lifelong learners.

i find the theory of multiple intelligence very convincing based on my learning pattern.. it has put things in place in my life.. in the past.. as to why i used to think in a particular manner at some time and differently in another..

Sterling explanation!

That is epic Mr. Dr. Professor Gardner

Watching this in 2020 and I couldn't agree more!!

It has been interesting to revise information on multiple intelligence and I think working on multiple intelligence is very vital in educational system, as all types of learners are activated in the process of the lesson.. What has been important in this video of cource is an assessment question, reflection on providing feedback and how to account for all kids abilities that involve multiple intelligence and its different range of approaches for teaching

I think the idea of MI is empirically shown to be true. I think the problem starts when we conclude that it is telling us something about how we need to teach when I think the reality is it's telling us something about what should be taught to each individual. We have this system in the U.S. where the only way we ever think you should live a decent life is if you move to the top. We refuse to see the dignity of traditional blue collar and hands on trades and now we make sure these people can't even make a living with crappy wages and no beneftits. So, we now feel it is our responsibility to teach everyone the same curriculum that will get them into college. The real conclusion for me behind the concept of MI (which again to me is empirical) is that people are not the same and should be treated differently in teaching but maybe in what they will be most adept at learning and doing in life. You can't be a good woodworker through lectures--it necessitates hands on and many people are not great at that (although we'd never call them stupid). But if you're a kinesthetic learner forget differential equations--it simply isn't going to happen. Certain domains DEMAND certain ways of thinking. We must face that. This new stuff is one reason American kids get into STEM programs and get wiped out. They can't deal with the material because they were never suited for it in the first place and were being told that "they are the center" and that they somehow shouldn't have to do hard stuff like memorize and take good notes. Then comes something like anatomy in pre-med or any hard science program where the prof barely even knows you're alive and you need tons of memorization and the ability to sit through a boring lecture and learn, especially in the first several years, and they crash and burn. But now, because they were never allowed to pursue younger what they really would have been good at they have nothing (except of course a lot of student debt)..

It's obviously a valid concept, and acceptable, if not bound by the same tautological conceptions that IQ rests on. There is no fair reason to assume intelligence is 'constant', 'general', or 'unmalleable'. Those are convenient assumptions that are adopted by proponents of IQ, and in the interest of living up to the Kantian paradigm of 'pure reason'. In effect, we've created a glorified short-term memory test and call it an 'intelligence test'. Many people are happy with it, but that doesn't mean it's a kosher test. Most people are unexceptional, and would rather take an inflated number, than have to show for it. Personally, I begin looking at education/expertise level, as the first prerequisite to high human intelligence, than intuition; the level of fluency(s) within that education/expertise level, which determines at what rate and what distance ideas come together, and is the first source of generative thinking (not 'fluid IQ' as IQ proponents say), then I'll look at IQ.

is a great topic and very interesting and lot of information as well too. enjoyed it alot.

I am a neuroeducator and psychopedagogue, I deeply believe in changing the educational system for one more adapted to the multiplicity of cognitive and motor skills in children, in my country Colombia, and LATAM, I believe that our greatest challenge has been political commitment

anybody else notice how window it was outside?

great video ....I'm going to the site now

this is marvelous

@chrismca Actually, there are many studies that show that students achieve more and they keep their interest in learning. Learning becomes meaningful while the learner takes an active part in their learning. Why limit a person's way of learning when there are multiple ways each individual learns. Also, brain imaging shows that more areas of the brain are active when engaging different intelligences.

I like this guy the way he explains the subject..

As much as this theory is supported or not, this video helped me to understand some points in MI theory!

@pseudosimplicity Are you saying that these studies show these good outcomes because of the use of Gardner's ideas? I've looked through the literature pretty thoroughly, and I can't find any studies that allow a reader to conclude this. If you have the references, I'd be very glad to read the studies or anything you think might help me learn more about this. Thanks

The student has to see the Value of what they are learning, which creates an excitement in them to learn more and participate more in order to learn more .

Thank you

The idea of publicly exhibiting multiple intelligence's, as Gardner suggests, is cultural in nature. Perhaps there are schools and environments where children can utilize, nurture, and exhibit their intelligence's. This is a reflection of Gardner's 2009 perspectives which have evolved since. Nice comprehensive presentation.

I am Mensa member and I can tell you something honestly: I have been told many times that I am smart and stuff like that. that helped me maybe to learn SOMETHING faster,but all of my achievements I attribute 95% to emotional and social intelligence.So that is the MOST important of all -in my humble opinion.

@chrismca ...Because, like i said, it's common sense. Unless you disagree that people are all individuals and all different and learn things in different ways?

As a 58yo male that just finished his masters degree in marine biology, I whole heartedly agree with the premise that the student must be able to recreate in his mind the ideas in order to really learn them. An fine example of this was an animal physiology class I had in which the exams were a series of "essay questions". I knew that I had to prepare to answer the questions in that fashion. While the material was quite detail oriented, I was constantly digesting it in a more wholistic manner, knowing that I needed to understand the way in which the pieces fit together. It didn't hurt that I had an truly extraordinary professor. My comment on the course evaluation was " the most efficient and effective delivery of course material in my academic career". Many other ideas in the video that are important and pertinent as I embark on my instructor journey

@terafrayne111 I wasn't trying to imply that you had. Sorry if it seemed so. But what do you think of the ethical/scientific status of Gardner's claims?

I agree with meeting the child where he/she is in order for them to want to learn and be assessed based on the way they learn............

@LeeMIlby I think you're 100% right in that there is much to improve in our current system. But, the question is: Do we replace the status quo with things shown to work (e.g., class sizes of 15, better trained teachers, - see the research), or with pseudo-science like MI? See Michael Shermer's book "Why People Believe Weird Things" It has a list of qualities of pseudoscience. Make a list of how many of these qualities MI has. I honestly think you'll be surprised. Cheers

Am Raphael nyakenyanya, the fact that one can be born intelligent we need to develop our way of thinking by learning more

This is true and if teachers realized this theory and put it into practice the most learners could benefit from schooling.

How do we teach professionals the skill/ability to recognise various subtle intelligences? Then apply that to planning for the classroom? Seems like a logistical nightmare to me. Isn't that the key? Being able to recognise a students intellectual strengths and then apply techniques or practices to foster that students improvement in learning?

One way for me has been to give students opportunities to work with different intelligences in the classroom. I taught an art/design class, and certain students were better at analizing visual works of art, and others at doing them. The next step (I hope I can do that, some day) will be that students can make some choices concerning the type of intelligence they want to focus.

The Alternative Hypothesis You don´t believe me?

@ChuckBart100 The current curriculum has been proven to fail in countless ways. Is it better to stick to a regiment that we know for certain fails than to try something that might actually work?

With what Blayne states isn't it the pen that is mightier than the sword. We need the future to be with brains and not brawn. Fund schools and not war.

@gmccall22 "have to be thought out before executed physically" sounds like the process of making art, to me! Skill needs to be valued in the classroom- all kinds of skill! It gives people confidence and broadens their abilities and perspectives. Wonder why has it become more important to memorize things to pass tests than learn skills that will last a lifetime??? :/

1:20 - To document the fact? How the hell can you "document" anything when you oppose any kind of standardized testing?

Such an interesting theory which is also realistic and i believe it could work in schools if given the chance ... by the way im in University in SA and we are being taught about this theory oh i actually have a test tomorrow regarding this theory 😅.

no, you're right, and I thinks he agrees with you. But to explain and teach people about various intelligences, I think it was important to cut it out roughly into these eight areas of intelligence, for them to understand the idea of not one, nut several ways to be intelligent. I don't believe either, that people learn in one way only. I personally think, that people each have their set of intelligence areas, which is easier for them to learn, and therefore have surden ways to easier understand and learn stuff.

THIS. *applause*

@LeeMIlby I don't want you to repeat yourself or help me, just think about something honestly. Common sense says that multi-ton objects won't fly or float, but science gives us planes and ships that do. Common sense says that inoculations won't work, yet this science has saved millions of lives. As to schooling, common sense tells us that a child suffering from hyperactivity will not be helped by a stimulant, but science has shown us that they are. Isn't science is the far better guide?

@LeeMIlby #3 "Not only is technique a problem, but so is content." Again your diagnosis of this problem is right on the money but, any implication that MI would, somehow, effectively address this issue runs counter to the facts we have. MI has been around for more than 25 years and it has no supporting evidence. Question: It seems you're (rightly) criticizing the use of unproven methods, so, do you think MI has evidence? If so, where? Or, are you advocating it without evidence? If so, why?

holy shit, i need to show this to my teachers :O
