Abstract:
The intelligences are defined as a set of abilities, talents or abilities oriented to the
resolutions of problems, that are related to the means or not. This concept leaves out
the standardized tests on intelligence measures. Gardner regards this medium as out
of date, and questioning this theory which for him predicts only school success, uses
a new concept that pluralizes intelligence by showing that all human beings are
intelligent even though they are not a genius in mathematics or Portuguese. It shows
that the intelligences can be unique or not, that can, even being independent, depend
on the other to develop. It can be affirmed that it is a biopsicological factor and that
they come to be developed or not through stimuli. This paper portrays Howard
Gardner's Multiple Intelligences comparing them with questionnaire results applied to
EMACC elementary school students in order to show that we are all human beings
gifted with intelligence only each with their own abilities. In this perspective it is
sought to identify the perceptions that these students have about intelligences, as
well as to identify if there is present in these learned concepts about the intelligences
mentioned by Howard Gardner, as well as to identify if these intelligences in the
practical one are being developed. Among the material for this development were
study used experiences in the More Education Program (PME), as well as a
questionnaire containing 10 questions seeking to identify perceptions about students'
intelligences. Among the results we identified some indications of the theory of the
author, as well as in the practice gave to realize that using the different intelligences
the students will have a more developed learning, thus giving to check their
diversified abilities so that in this way they will draw a future more promising in the
professional environment.
