Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests that individuals have different types of intelligences. Multiple Intelligence teaching methods recognize eight types of intelligence: visual-spatial, linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, and most recently naturalist. Gardner (1993) stressed that schools should not only focus on linguistic and logical intelligences but also on the diversity of student’s strengths. In this way, the students’ intelligences can be met and challenged. In line with this, Jensen (1995) claims that 40 percent of our students are auditory learners. Music in the classroom affected students’ mood and behavior, which …show more content…
According to leading educational authorities on brain-based learning, Caine & Caine (2010), brain-based learning involved both conscious and unconscious state. In support to this, Sousa (2006) included reflection and relaxed alertness to the concept brain-based learning. According to Caine and Caine, (2010) relaxed alertness is a state of being that promotes learning. It also believes that the search for meaning occurs through patterning and emotions are critical to patterning; (Caine & Caine, 2010). Wolfe (2009) and (Nunley, 2003) stressed that Brain-based integrates movement in the classroom plus varied instruction of lessons to motivate student alertness and anticipation (Woolfolk, …show more content…
A study by Akyurek and Afacan (2013) disclosed that brain-based learning approach improved students ' motivation and attitudes levels in Science class.
Duman (2010) investigated the effects of brain based learning on the academic achievement of students with different learning styles. The findings of the study revealed that the Brain Based Learning approach used in the experimental group was more effective in increasing student achievement than the traditional approach used in the control group. However no significant difference was observed among the achievement levels of the experimental group students with different learning styles.
The discussed concepts and principles and their common denominators are considered in the conduct of the study. Modified suggestopedia centers on a relaxed and active state (Lasanov, 1978; Caine and Caine, 2010), high motivation (Maslow,----) and low affective filter (Khrashen,2003) of self-actualized learners (Maslow,----) plus a comfortable classroom ambiance which is created by the music and the teacher in the
The brain holds knowledge and it can be used to educate; leaving behind the restrictions put on students by
"Brainology: Transforming Students ' Motivation to Learn" is collection of informative text by Carol S. Dwecks, covering the concept of Fixed and Growth mindsets, along with the cause and effect for each. Dwecks opens the text with a researched idea that our brains are constantly changing throughout our lives, while learning and experiencing, followed by a question "Does this learning have implications for students ' motivation and learning?". Later showing that what students believe about their brains and source of intelligence, whether sought as being fixed or having the ability to grow and change, does have effects on their motivation and will to learn. Another question is asked, how do said mindsets work, and how might we be able to
According to Johns Hopkins School of Education’s website, bringing in music to a classroom could result in altering one’s brain wave, a higher level of concentration, and increased attention and imagination (Brewer 1995). These are very similar to the positive outcomes that Romick discussed in his article that he noticed occurring in his classroom after creating lesson plans correlated with songs. Also similar to Romick’s beliefs, Chris Boyd Brewer states, “Music will activate students mentally, physically, and emotionally and create learning states which enhance understanding of learning,” which will not only benefit the teacher, but also the student while gaining a greater knowledge in the class (Brewer 1995). The music helps create different feelings to emerge, inspiring creativity and a different outlook than simple textbook related material. Another well given point I found that was stated by another ELA teacher, Heather Wolpert-Gawron, was that music enhances the brain and inspires great writing prompts or poetry connections, similar to what Romick referred to as well (Gawron
The topic of whether or not music has an impact on studying abilities is a conversation that many people have many different opinions on. In David Cutlers article, “Don’t Listen to Music While Studying”, he tries using evidence and reasoning to support, connect, and persuade his audience. In the article, David Cutler uses pathos and storytelling to connect with his readers. In the first couple of paragraphs, Cutler explains how he likes listening to music while studying also.
Imagine going to school and really succeeding; you understand everything, you’re getting good grades and all the praise you can dream of from your parents and teachers. But then you move up and things get harder, you don’t understand everything, your grades are dropping and you are scared that you will no longer get that praise. You have two options, you can either take on the challenge and get back to where you used to be, or you can sit down when you feel threated by the hard work. In “Brainology” by author Carol S. Dweck, we are shown research concerning those two options or “mindsets” and how we can change them.
Educational Self-Analysis As students the people who we surround ourselves with have a profound effect with our motivational level. Our surroundings can emotionally impact our life for the better or worse. By reading the article “Brainology” by Carol Dweck has also showed me the mindset I have and reflect on the way I view education. like most Parents, my Parents want to see me succeed in school since they did not have the chance to do so themselves.
During my research I found an article called,“The Effects of Music on Student’s work” by Rudy Miller. Rudy Miller states “Soothing music or classical music can help a student focus.” The author also exclaimed that, “British studies claim that listening to Mozart for 10 minutes produced a “Mozart Effect” where test-takers I.Q scores went up 8 or 9 points.” The writer of the article also announced, “After the 30-day course, the average retention rate per student was 92%.” Miller argues that “listening to music is good for the brain.
Music education provides personal benefits to students that enrich their lives. In the study of perceived benefits of music by Dimitra Kokotsaki and Susan Hallam, it was found that “participating in an ensemble enhanced feelings of self-achievement for the study’s participants, assisted individuals in overcoming challenges, built self-confidence, and raised determination to make more effort to meet group expectations regarding standards of playing” (12). In an ensemble, every member is equally important, from the first chair to the last chair. Thus every person must be able to play all of their music and be ready for anything. When one person does not practice their music and comes to rehearsal unprepared, it reflects upon the whole ensemble.
Evidence is provided of the presence of a learning curve in the use of music for positive mood alteration.” Teresa Lesiuk concluded that the quality of work done was at its lowest when music was removed as the time taken to complete a task was longest when music was removed. Furthermore music improved both a person’s mood and gave them an enhanced perception with specific reference to design. (Lesiuk, 2005) A study conducted by the journal of Neuroscience of Behaviour and Physiology shows that listening to classical music improves a person’s ability to identify visual images including letters and numbers.
Since, music is considerable as the useful tool and it makes things seems easier for people just by listening to it while concentrating or working on things. It is obvious that music is the best tool in relieving from stress and one study shows that music improves the performance of people at their work or children in school more effectively compared to their performance without music. Music does not just relaxing people but there are many benefits on the development of children with their brain, behavior, intellectual and cognitive that leads children to grow further than they could without music (Silberg, n.d.). This topic was interesting to work and conduct researches on because
THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE INTRODUCTION Throughout history, numerous researchers have suggested different definitions regarding intelligence and that it is a single, general ability, while other researchers believed that the definition of intelligence includes a range of skills. Spearman (general intelligence), Gardner (multiple intelligence) and Goleman (emotional intelligence) have all looked into further research regarding intelligence, where 3 different theories were formed regarding what intelligence is and how it should be defined. Since then, Binet, Simon and Terman have all contributed to intelligence testing. Although, there is still controversy over intelligence testing.
According to Wagner, humanistic approach is primarily a reaction to the two major views of humanity which are the Freudian perspective and the behavioral perspective thus humanitaristic approach is the “third force”. Humanistic approach highly gives emphasis to the individual that learning how to learn is more important than acquiring factual knowledge. Teachers can play their role in helping the students how to learn and their thinking gives emphasis rather than teachers’ teaching determination.
Results showed significant differences in social, cognitive and physical development preferring the children in the experimental group, this suggests that music can create a more relaxed learning
Gardner’s effort on multiple intelligences from past two decades has been quite significant. It was identified that intelligence is basically the ability for solving issues that are actually valued with in the cultural practice. According to Meunier (2003), when adults are able to learn from their lives from multiple intelligence models, they are able to find liberation in inspecting potentials which were never developed or highlighted. Programs for self-development from hobbies, programs and courses can mainly re-integrate the native intelligences of an individual in a way that can be satisfying from personal perspective. Discussion When it comes to multiple intelligence types and factors involved in clinical practices, we often realize
Some studies showed that people who listened to classical music performed worse in memory tests than those who didn’t” (See). We do know that some children and adults seem to be calmer and more engaged when music is incorporated into learning. People feel that this does impact the individual. Some people do not believe that arts in education are beneficial, but others feel that they are very monumental is
