Research On Intelligence Structure Of High School Students Based On Multiple Intelligence Theory

Howard Gardner, Harvard psychology professor, presented the Theory of Multiple Intelligences in the 80s of the 20th century. He believes that human intelligence is not a core competency, but a group of equally important capacity, and the ability of this group is relatively independent of the form.The scientific understanding of human intelligence from the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, had a profound impact in the education sector, and MI Theory has become a guiding ideology of our basic education curriculum reform. The research on structure of intelligence of the high school students has practical significance.This article, based on MI Theory, constitute a situation of high school students Intelligence from the view of Curriculum development, with the combination of literature review and survey. It tries to create new ways of intellectual structure studying, while deepening the curriculum relevant research, makes MI Theory more closely linked with the curriculum reform. This research work done in three areas:First, make deep research on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Understand the background and basic content of MI Theory, and on this basis to analyze the essence, extract its underlying educational philosophy.Second, explore the intellectual structure of high school students. Understand high school curriculum, and discipline and the quantification of hours, and then outline the basic contours of intelligence structure of high school students by statistical data.Third, make recommendations of high school Curriculum development from the Multiple Intelligences view. Analyze the current curriculum deficiencies, make targeted recommendations.The results show that high school students are serious imbalance in the development of multiple intelligences, with Logical-mathematical intelligence and Verbal-lingustic intelligence dominant, others at a low level of development. The current curriculum can not achieve a good basic education and training requirements of comprehensive development of human resources.The preparation of the current curriculum is directly linked with the traditional view of intelligence, the nature of curriculum and the school assessment system. For comprehensive development of students multiple intelligence, multiple intelligence theory should be the first to be supported, and more attention should be paid to curriculum flexibility factors and school-based curriculum development.
