Reflection 9 - Gardner's Multiple Intelligences
Hello, everyone! Today, I want to share about Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.
This topic going to be my last reflection on this course learning. There are 9 types of multiple intelligences. All the types are important because we can learn to accept the similarities and differences of each individual. We cannot compare students because the level of acceptance of the person is different. As a teacher, we need to use a different approach to guide the student by knowing their weaknesses, factors, and more. Students will be more motivated to deepen and understand the learning if they are comfortable with the approach used by the teacher. Every student is unique, so teachers need to be creative, innovative, and more flexible in the approach used in teaching and learning (PdP) through Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.
