Major ContributionTheory of Multiple
Intelligences
13
Howard Gardner identified the following distinct
types of intelligence. They are listed here with
respect to gifted / talented children.
14
1) Linguistic Children with this kind of
intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling
stories or doing crossword puzzles.
15
2) Logical-Mathematical Children with lots of
logical intelligence are interested in patterns,
categories and relationships. They are drawn to
arithmetic problems, strategy games and
experiments.
16
3) Bodily-kinesthetic (???) These kids process
knowledge through bodily sensations. They are
often athletic, dancers or good at crafts such as
sewing or woodworking.
17
4) Spatial These children think in images and
pictures. They may be fascinated with mazes or
jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing,
building with Legos or daydreaming.
18
5) Musical Musical children are always singing
or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite
aware of sounds others may miss. These kids are
often discriminating listeners.
19
6) Interpersonal Children who are leaders among
their peers, who are good at communicating and
who seem to understand others' feelings and
motives possess interpersonal intelligence.
20
7) Intra-personal (in the mind)These children
may be shy. They are very aware of their own
feelings and are self-motivated.(Text from Bill

  • III. Remarks about Chinese Students

34
Remarks about Chinese studentsby Foreign
Professors
  • Unfortunately, they are used to obeying. In the
  • past, they have always been given sth. on the
  • blackboard to copy down sth. that they have to
  • accept without comment or discussion, and
  • that has given them a passive mindset.

35
  • When you tell first year students to design a
    pink sweater, they can do that, but if you tell
    them to design whatever they want, to be
    creative, then they have no energy.
  • By the second and the third year, they are much
    more creative,. We have to train them how to
    express themselves.

36
  • Portelli, an Italian designer and professor, has
    good reason to be hopeful. Some of his students
    are already working in the fashion business in
    China. One has even landed a job in Paris.
  •  

37
  • Generally, Chinese garments are known for their
    low prices and sometimes, inferior quality.
    Traditionally, the printed fabrics are cheap and
    synthetic looking. Chinas traditional
    low-quality approach to production can even
    affect companies that stress high quality and
    design because design and service is a
    conceptual problem for factories.

38
  • Even if our quality is the same and our price is
    better than Italian goods, the buyer will still
    buy Italian.
  • A test in time saves time --- and energy!
  • This is a solution for quality control.

39
  • Easy care gets even easier.
  • A stitch in time---In the fast paced,
    price-sensitive apparel industry, an ounce of
    prevention can be worth more than a pound of
    cure.
