Although the Dunns’ learning styles and Gardner’s multiple intelligences theories are two distinct areas of research, they do not oppose each other and can be used together to improve learning. The design of this tutorial is an attempt to integrate students’ learning styles and their unique blend of intelligences in the library research process. The goal is to encourage higher-order thinking so...

Although results from factor-analytic studies of the broad, second-stratum abilities of human intelligence have been fairly consistent for decades, the list of broad abilities is far from complete, much less understood. We propose criteria by which the list of broad abilities could be amended and envision alternatives for how our understanding of the hot intelligences (abilities involving emoti...

The typical parent might react with curiosity tinged with suspicion: Is working with twigs and leaves supposed to help my child learn to spell? Yes, according to Thomas Armstrong, author of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, especia...

There is no universally accepted de nition for intelligence among educators and psychologists. One (early) viewpoint regards intelligence as a unitary trait which can be measured by a single IQ test score (such as Binet & Simon, 1905; Terman, 1925). This view has now largely been replaced by the multiple-intelligence conceptions (such as Guilford, 1967; Renzulli, 1986; Gardner, 1983). We have c...
