Multiple Intelligences - PART 2
What are Multiple Intelligences?
The concept of “Multiple Intelligences” is a theory proposed by Harvard Psychologist Howard Gardner, and praised by many educators and psychologists across the world. The theory suggests that “intelligence” can be divided into subcategories related to different sets of skills that influence how our learning and thinking works. At first, there were 7, but two more were added later on. Although also criticized by many, the theory has changed the way educators perceive and use the concept of “intelligence” when working with both children and adults.
What’s going on in these pitures?
These are some tables I made explaining a bit about the villains’ abilities and how their little brains work, what kinds of intelligence they are good at or bad at and so on. Besides the small text description about their biggest strengths and weaknesses, each of them has a complete table with all kinds of intelligence. Each column is a type of intelligence, if it has only one vertical bar, then that means this character is not good at this intelligence. If it has 2 bars, they have average competence in it. If it has all 3 bars, then it means they are really good at that intelligence. Also, you can see that for each villain you can find one intelligence with a set of three white arrows (up) and one with a set of three red arrows (down). These arrows show you the intelligence they are best at (white arrows) and the one they are worst at (red arrows). One more thing: each character is good at 3 kinds of intelligence, average at 3 kinds of intelligence and bad at 3 kinds of intelligence, plus having one intelligence they excel at and one they are very bad at.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen those drawings before...?
Yes, you probably did. These I was too lazy to draw all characters again for these charts (plus it would take too long and I wanted to finish this quickly) so I used the same pictures I made for the results of my personality quiz!
Where are the other characters?!!!
This is just the second part of the whole thing, because Tumblr is very annoying with image posts and will only allow 10 pictures per post, but I have 12 characters + the explanatory table about Multiple Intelligences AND an extra table comparing all villains (literally just an exel-style spreadsheet, nothing much). So I had to break the post in two otherwise I’d have to make a text post and resolution might end up weird.
What is “GROSS motor coordination”???
Gross motor coordination is the coordination of large movements (walking, running, dancing, playing sports, etc), while fine motor coordination is the coordination of small high-precision movements (drawing, writing, playing videogames, turning pages, etc)
Pragmatics is the branch of linguistics that studies the relationship between communication and social interaction, that is, how language is applied in communicative practices, for example, rethorical questions, conversational turns, unsaid implications, speech organization and so on.
Dissonance is a relationship between two notes that results in a lack or harmony, causing the combination of them to sound conflicting and tense.
What is “meta-cognition”?
Meta-cognition means the “cognition of cognition”, that is: thinking about thinking. Knowing about knowledge. Understanding and thinking about your own cognitive processes, about your own thoughts and about what you understand.
