Strategies Of Multiple Intelligences Theory In The Teaching Of Secondary Chemistry

Multiple Intelligences is one of the most famous theories in educational psychology since 1990s. Theory of Multiple Intelligence stands out with the development of teaching reform, which cares about students'development in all aspects and pays attention to understanding of new curriculum concept. However, nowadays we still pay more attention to intelligence tests in school. Theory of Intelligence in traditional holds these points: Intelligence has only one quality and we can get Intelligence marks through tests. Centralized education is the concentrated expression of this thought in school. That is to say, through studying the same subjects, we can measure the students by testing. Whoever gets high marks is good students or has high intelligence. So, the work in school must be based on tests. In fact, marks on can reflect one or some aspects in intelligence. According to Howard·Gardner, a psychologist from Howard university in the USA, man's intelligence is multiple, including verbal/linguistic intelligence , logical/mathematical intelligence as well as visual/spatial intelligence, bodily/kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, interpersonal intelligence musical rhythmic intelligence, naturalist intelligence, existential intelligence. Every one has advantage in one or some aspects of man's intelligence. And man's intelligence develops all the time. The weak points can turn into the strong points in some case.Based on traditional intelligence theory, this paper is to analyses the theory of Multiple Intelligence and makes some research on how to train up students' multiple intelligences in chemistry class of high school. At present, we can't avoid teaching situation that we use tests and classify according to subjects. So ,in the paper, under the guidance of Multiple Intelligence ,I make some research on teaching strategy in chemistry class of high school, First of all ,I make s survey on the actual situation of students' Multiple Intelligence and interests in chemistry learning. Then we put forward some teaching strategies according to MI. that is ,by telling story, listening stories and taking part in group discussion, encouraging students to work as a group and expend the knowledge area by themselves to train up their intelligence of team woik; applying computer as a tool for teaching and guiding them making teaching tools and models by themselves to train up intelligence for recognizing themselves of their view and space; Guiding students to write self-evaluation to train up intelligence for recognizing themselves.In all, through the whole term of study and survey, the following conclusions have made: Through the teaching practice of Multiple Intelligences, I have improved the students' way of learning. They have come to show interest in chemistry. As the intelligence of the students have been improved, their learning score has also become satisfactory.
