A Study on Multiple Intelligences Based Pedagogy for Effective Learning Outcomes at Secondary Level

Education

It is a universal truth that every child is unique, not even twins are alike because God doesn‘t repeat his creation. Yet, our education system is such, in which offers similar ways of teaching and learning irrespective of ascribed and achieved leaning inclinations. Another point is that we all are the creation of God and God doesn‘t create waste. Even then the outcome of our education system classifies students in failures, average and bright. The theory of Multiple Intelligences classifies students in eight ways and assumes that every child is unique and productive. But this assumption can be met only if each child is taught as per his or her inclination and inherited strength. This paper suggests different teaching learning strategies as per the multiple intelligences of the learners. Although there are eight intelligence ( Gardiner,1999), this paper entitled ―Multiple Intelligences Based Pedagogy for Effective Learning Outcomes ― suggests teaching strategies for learners with linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence etc. Besides, the outcome of the study will provide bases to government/policy makers for policy formation, decision making and forward planning, curriculum developers for incorporating appropriate pedagogy in curriculum, teachers in planning their learning experiences, and creating cohesive yet diverse classroom environment, researchers in exploring individual potential of learners and provide bases for their development, parents in nurturing their children in accordance with the natural tendencies.
