Research And Practice On The Development Of The Students' Multivariant Intelligence In The Teaching Of Chinese

Professor Howard Gardner of the University of Harvard put forward the theory of Multiple Intelligences in Frame of Mind in 1983. The theory recognizes human being's intelligences as multiple, which includes lingual intelligence, musical intelligence, logical-reasoning intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, body-exercising intelligence, social intelligence, idiotropic intelligence and nature-observing intelligence.To cultivate the students'multiple intelligences, we employ introduction-on-scene during classroom teaching, various homework and complex lessons. We make use of different means for the development of lingual intelligences; intuitionistic means for the visual-spatial intelligence; co-operative study and research work for the social intelligence; we also instruct the students to observe nature and appreciate its beauty to cultivate their natural intelligence; and we also make use of reading, scenic romancing, acting and some other various means to cultivate the students'other intelligences. While cultivating the students'multiple intelligences the teachers assess their intelligences via investigation and research and expansibility evaluation.The languages of Chinese embodies the excellent historical culture of our own country as well as much advance culture of human beings. We regard Chinese teaching as one of the courses that can most cultivate the students'multivariant intelligence. In classroom teaching we should begin with the development of the students'multivariant intelligence and employ various and rich teaching methods on basis of it. Thus we should be able to restore the real quality of the middle school Chinese teaching with extremely rich interests, images and emotions, then form a classroom operation with a main basis which attaches importance to digestion, accumulation, transference and sentiment. We also need multivariant evalutions. If we consciously and actively rather than unconsciously and passively apply the theory in our daily work, our teaching will be more improved and the development of the students'multivariant intelligence will also be promoted.
