Multiple Intelligences
According to Howard Gardner, this theory proposes that people possess eight relatively distinct abilities, including linguistic, musical, spatial, and interpersonal abilities.
What is Multiple Intelligences?
This term refers to an individual's preferred ways of learning or studying.
What are learning styles?
This refers to the ways students differ in abilities, experiences, interests, backgrounds, and approaches to learning.
What are individual differences?
This federal law requires states to provide eligible students with disabilities a free appropriate public education.
What is IDEA?
This document describes the special education services and supports an eligible student with a disability will receive.
What is an IEP?
A student is especially good at understanding other people's feelings, working cooperatively, and resolving conflicts. Gardner would identify this as this intelligence.
What is interpersonal intelligence?
A student says, "I learn best when I can see pictures." According to the chapter, this statement is best viewed as a learning ____.
What is a preference?
Spearman proposed that this general factor contributes to performance across many different mental tasks.
What is general intelligence (g)?
Under IDEA, this principle means that no child with a disability can simply be denied access to an appropriate public education.
What is zero reject?
Parents, teachers, specialists, and the student, when appropriate, are among the people who may participate in developing this document.
What is the IEP?
A student struggles with traditional written work but excels at building models, demonstrating physical skills, and learning through movement. Which intelligence might be a particular strength?
What is bodily-kinesthetic intelligence?
Research reviewed by Pashler and colleagues found little evidence supporting this popular idea that instruction should be matched to a student's supposed learning style.
What is the meshing hypothesis?
Cattell and Horn distinguished between these two types of intelligence: one involves mental efficiency and novel problem solving, while the other involves accumulated knowledge and culturally learned problem-solving methods.
What are fluid and crystallized intelligence?
IDEA requires students with disabilities to be educated with students without disabilities to the greatest extent appropriate. This principle is abbreviated _____.
What is LRE—Least Restrictive Environment?
An IEP includes present levels of academic achievement and functional performance, measurable annual goals, services, and this important component showing how progress toward goals will be measured.
What is progress monitoring/measurement of progress?
Gardner's theory has been influential in education, but researchers have raised this major concern about the theory.
What is that there is insufficient strong research evidence that the eight intelligences are separate abilities?
Instead of labeling students "visual learners" or "auditory learners," teachers can use learning preferences to encourage students to develop this ability.
What is self-monitoring/self-awareness of how they learn?
Sternberg's theory includes analytical, creative, and practical skills. A student who figures out how to adapt successfully to a new school environment is demonstrating this type.
What is practical intelligence?

What is nondiscriminatory assessment?
This federal civil rights law prohibits disability discrimination in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
What is Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973?
A teacher wants to use the educational value of multiple intelligences without assuming that students are permanently "one type" of learner. Give two appropriate teaching practices suggested by the chapter.
What are differentiating instruction, using multiple representations, connecting concepts in several ways, and allowing students different ways to demonstrate understanding?
A teacher gives every student a "learning styles test" and then teaches each child only according to the identified style. Why is this approach problematic?
What is that research does not provide adequate evidence that matching instruction to learning styles improves learning?
A student's IQ is relatively high, but the teacher notices that motivation, self-regulation, creativity, and social skills also influence the student's performance. What important principle from the chapter does this illustrate?
What is that intelligence is only one factor affecting academic and life outcomes?
A school wants to place a student with a disability in a separate classroom simply because it is more convenient for the school. What IDEA principle should the team consider?
What is Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)?
A student has ADHD and needs accommodations but does not meet IDEA eligibility requirements for special education. Which federal protection may still provide a basis for accommodations?
What is Section 504?
