What is Intelligence? Anyone can define intelligence because it is an open-ended word. Psychologists who study intelligence define it. McDougal (2001:158-159) states that "Intelligence is the ability to learn and adopt to the environment". Also, Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting". (Marca Registrada(1991:V10-P320)) Psychologists defined eight types of intelligence. I will highlight three types which are considered strong types of intelligence. Then, I will discuss the relationship between them and education.
Musical intelligence is the ability to discern and express musical forms and sensitivity to rhythm, tone and timbre. This intelligence can recognize, create and reproduce music.(http://htm.myweb.org) Also, the people who have this kind of intelligence are a highly developed ability to distinguish the sound of a violin form that of a flute or human voice. So, a person strong in this area is good with music and rhythm. To be intelligent musically Howard Gardner says that: "you still need to practice things, remember things, compare things, new skills to ones that you already know".(http://www.videojug.com) Musical intelligence in education is very important because the teachers using recording in different materials and may to show the students some films have different sound. Students can increase musical intelligence by listening carefully when teachers do that. The good careers for musically intelligent people is composers, musicians and conductors. The famous examples of musically intelligent people is Yoyo Ma and Beethoven.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is the ability to understand numbers and logical concepts. This intelligence can analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations and perceive numerical and logical patterns.(http://htm.myweb.org) So, a person in this area is good with math and logic problems. To be intelligent logical-mathematically Howard Gardner says that: "you need more practicing with number, organizing the new information that we find".(http://www.videojued.com) Education can increase logical-mathematical intelligence in different method. For example, teachers can use a different approach to teach the mathematics material and give students more activity with numbers and hypotheses. These students enjoy solving puzzles and arithmetic problems. Teachers can give students more proposition with difficult problems. Physicists, computer programmers and business are examples of logical-mathematically intelligent people. Famous examples of logical-mathematically intelligent people is Albert Einstein.
Linguistic Intelligence is the ability to use language, express yourself and understand people. It "is the ability to think words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings". (http://skyview.vansd.org) So, a person strong in this area is good with words. The best way to be intelligent linguistically is learning through hearing, speaking or seeing words. Education can improve linguistic intelligence in different ways. People specially students have this intelligence love speaking, writing and reading. Teachers can do many practice and activities with include this thing, I mentioned previous. For example, give students many subject. Also, students can make presentation in classes. Students who have this intelligence can easily learn more than one language. There are many people have this type of intelligence for instance poets, writers, journalists, lawyers and public speakers. Famous examples of people have linguistic intelligence is William Shakespeare.
