Multiple Intelligence Approach

Multiple Intelligence Approach is a student
centered based approach to learning, which
educators should use to enhance the teaching and
learning process and to identify their varied learning
style of students in their class. Using this, students
will be able to identify ways in which they learn.

educators need to maximize the probability of each students

success in school; the most logical way to accomplish this
outcome is to structure a diverse range of activities so that
students have a chance to try different patterns of ability
subsequently discover their strongest ability and master as
soon as they can as much of them as possible.

1. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart)

Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in
words and to use language to express and
