    ]]>     http://www.paultilley.net/my-weekly-tweets-paulmtilley-11/feed     Multiple Intelligences In Youth Work/Ministry http://www.paultilley.net/multiple-intelligences-in-youth-workministry http://www.paultilley.net/multiple-intelligences-in-youth-workministry#comments Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:58:55 +0000 admin http://www.paultilley.net/?p=260 I am just working on an essay on adult learning and looking into Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory (MI).

    It’s not how smart you are, but how you are smart. This idea refers to Gardener’s MI, Frames of Mind, in 1983. Inspired by his work with brain damaged veterans and with developing minds of children, Gardner used what he had learned to formulate a theory advocating seven ways of viewing the world. Gardner hypothesized that human potential also encompasses spatial, musical, and kinesthetic, as well as interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences. He has since added two more intelligences, the naturalist and the existentialist. Gardener writes that a skilled teacher is a person who can open a number of different windows on the same concept.

    This is a detailed look at MI idea (taken from businessballs.com)

    intelligence type description typical roles related tasks, activities or tests preferred learning style clues
    1 Linguistic words and language, written and spoken; retention, interpretation and explanation of ideas and information via language, understands relationship between communication and meaning writers, lawyers, journalists, speakers, trainers, copy-writers, english teachers, poets, editors, linguists, translators, PR consultants, media consultants, TV and radio presenters, voice-over artistes write a set of instructions; speak on a subject; edit a written piece or work; write a speech; commentate on an event; apply positive or negative ’spin’ to a story words and language
    2 Logical-Mathematical logical thinking, detecting patterns, scientific reasoning and deduction; analyse problems, perform mathematical calculations, understands relationship between cause and effect towards a tangible outcome or result scientists, engineers, computer experts, accountants, statisticians, researchers, analysts, traders, bankers bookmakers, insurance brokers, negotiators, deal-makers, trouble-shooters, directors perform a mental arithmetic calculation; create a process to measure something difficult; analyse how a machine works; create a process; devise a strategy to achieve an aim; assess the value of a business or a proposition numbers and logic
    3 Musical musical ability, awareness, appreciation and use of sound; recognition of tonal and rhythmic patterns, understands relationship between sound and feeling musicians, singers, composers, DJ’s, music producers, piano tuners, acoustic engineers, entertainers, party-planners, environment and noise advisors, voice coaches perform a musical piece; sing a song; review a musical work; coach someone to play a musical instrument; specify mood music for telephone systems and receptions music, sounds, rhythm
    4 Bodily-Kinesthetic body movement control, manual dexterity, physical agility and balance; eye and body coordination dancers, demonstrators, actors, athletes, divers, sports-people, soldiers, fire-fighters, PTI’s, performance artistes; ergonomists, osteopaths, fishermen, drivers, crafts-people; gardeners, chefs, acupuncturists, healers, adventurers juggle; demonstrate a sports technique; flip a beer-mat; create a mime to explain something; toss a pancake; fly a kite; coach workplace posture, assess work-station ergonomics physical experience and movement, touch and feel
    5 Spatial-Visual visual and spatial perception; interpretation and creation of visual images; pictorial imagination and expression; understands relationship between images and meanings, and between space and effect artists, designers, cartoonists, story-boarders, architects, photographers, sculptors, town-planners, visionaries, inventors, engineers, cosmetics and beauty consultants design a costume; interpret a painting; create a room layout; create a corporate logo; design a building; pack a suitcase or the boot of a car pictures, shapes, images, 3D space
    6 Interpersonal perception of other people’s feelings; ability to relate to others; interpretation of behaviour and communications; understands the relationships between people and their situations, including other people therapists, HR professionals, mediators, leaders, counsellors, politicians, eductors, sales-people, clergy, psychologists, teachers, doctors, healers, organisers, carers, advertising professionals, coaches and mentors; (there is clear association between this type of intelligence and what is now termed ‘Emotional Intelligence’ or EQ) interpret moods from facial expressions; demonstrate feelings through body language; affect the feelings of others in a planned way; coach or counsel another person human contact, communications, cooperation, teamwork
    7 Intrapersonal self-awareness, personal cognisance, personal objectivity, the capability to understand oneself, one’s relationship to others and the world, and one’s own need for, and reaction to change arguably anyone (see note below) who is self-aware and involved in the process of changing personal thoughts, beliefs and behaviour in relation to their situation, other people, their purpose and aims - in this respect there is a similarity to Maslow’s Self-Actualisation level, and again there is clear association between this type of intelligence and what is now termed ‘Emotional Intelligence’ or EQ consider and decide one’s own aims and personal changes required to achieve them (not necessarily reveal this to others); consider one’s own ‘Johari Window’, and decide options for development; consider and decide one’s own position in relation to the Emotional Intelligence model self-reflection, self-discovery

    Some examples:

    • A person who is strong musically and weak numerically will be more likely to develop numerical and logical skills through music, and not by being bombarded by numbers alone.
    • A person who is weak spatially and strong numerically, will be more likely to develop spatial ability if it is explained and developed by using numbers and logic, and not by asking them to pack a suitcase in front of an audience.
    • A person who is weak bodily and physically and strong numerically might best be encouraged to increase their physical activity by encouraging them to learn about the mathematical and scientific relationships between exercise, diet and health, rather than forcing them to box or play rugby.

    So how could the idea of MI apply to youth work/ministry?  My first thought is how in churches,  teaching/preaching tends to focus on the spoken word with a powerpoint for or good luck!  If the sermon/teaching were to concider MI, how would it change?  How about the classic bible study, how could we plan this with MI?  And how about street work, when we engage with young people in schools, on the streets ect, and try to build relashionships, could we purposful intergrate MI within the interaction.
