•
Bodily/Kinesthetic intelligence gives students a strong connection to new content
through the movement and manipulation of body and external objects. Activities
help students create cognitive connections for easy recall and comprehension.
•
Musical/Rhythmic intelligence centers around melody, tune, pitch, rhythm, and
patterns found in types of music or cadence. For some students, music presents an
environment that fluctuates from peaceful to highly energetic. Their brains respond
accordingly and the recall of new information becomes tied to a specific rhythm or
cadence.
•
Visual/Spatial intelligence is based on the ability to recognize and respond to visual
content through written words or artistic designs. Visual/Spatial strength helps
students interpret maps and charts and form mental images of information that is
communicated by another person.
•
Intrapersonal intelligence provides a confidence in oneself that allows a student to
process new information through thought and reflection. Strong intrapersonal
intelligence indicates a strong personal connection to feelings and emotions, which
can take a student to a higher level of consciousness in learning.
•
Interpersonal intelligence allows a student to accurately perceive the emotions,
feelings, motivations, and intentions of others. Strong interpersonal intelligence
indicates a strong team-player mentality. A student with this strength will work
thoughtfully within group settings.
•
Naturalist intelligence allows students to recognize natural phenomenon such as
flora and fauna, soil and land, weather, and environmental issues. These students
easily make choices related to issues such as survival in the wild or the proper
clothing for different weather conditions.
Gardner believes that all individuals have strength in one or more of these intelligences and
they will follow a changing pattern of strength that depends on their stages of human life and
circumstances. For student achievement to be maximized, the Cisco Networking Academy
Program encourages instructors to identify the intelligence that best reflects the learning style
of individual students.
