Title: MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND THE WAYS OF TEACHING
Abstract: 

Learning is a series of activities designed to enable the learning process to occur in students. The implication is that learning habits must be designed, developed, and managed creatively, dynamically by applying a multi-approach to create a conducive atmosphere and learning process for students. One way to develop learning is to apply multiple intelligences and invasion of learning.

Curriculum types determine the level of student achievement. If the student's chosen teaching style does not fit the teaching practice or the learning environment, the results may be negative behavioral reactions and diminished student engagement. If the conflicts between learning styles and teaching styles persist, and there is no effort to deal with them, students can experience physical, mental, and emotional problems. The weak students in some subjects may be due to non-parallel learning styles and teaching styles. This indicates that not all teaching methods are considered successful from teachers' pedagogy's viewpoint compatible with students' expected or favored teaching. Goodnaugh (2001) found out that the learning environment is not likely to weaken students' motivational orientation. The skill of learners who do not dominate orientation-introduced-intelligence led to chore-chored learning sessions. Leaving the intelligence orientation is a prerequisite for the development of a learning environment conducive to learning. In shaping educational missions, curriculum creation, and pedagogy, more than ten nations incorporate the concepts of multiple intelligences. According to Hopper and Hurry (2000), the multiple intelligence approach emphasizes their discovery and comprehension of their learning process.

Multiple intelligences refer to people who occur in nature as various abilities, talents, or skills (Armstrong, 2000). There are eight (8) different kinds of intelligence studied in this study, as outlined by Gardner (1993, 1999): verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, kinaesthetic, and naturalistic.

 

Keywords: Multiple Intelligence, The Ways of Teaching, and student achievement.
