Multiple Intelligences Theory In High School Chemistry Teaching In Applied Research

The theory of multiple intelligences is new theory about intelligence education, which brought forward by Howard Gardner, who is the professor in Harvard University. It pushed the education reform of the United States, and became the important instruction of the basic education reform in other west country in 1990s. The theory influenced on currently new curriculum reform of basic education in our country. The Ministry of Education promulgated the chemistry course standard in common senior high school (experimental draft) in 2003, put forward the triune aim-training that are" knowledge and skill", " process and method"," emotion, attitude and value" to develop student's multiple intelligences. Taking the theory of Multiple Intelligences in the chemistry teaching is advantageous to establish diverse environments suited to students, develop character well, and enhance learning ability, innovation spirit and ability and scientific literacy. It is important to promotethe chemistry education reform and cultivate various intelligences of students.The article proved that the necessity and possibility of the multiple intelligences at the chemistryteaching in senior high school in theory. Based on the experience of multiple intelligences from China and foreign country's research, the writer applied the ideas of "teaching for multiple intelligences" and "teaching by multiple intelligences", and designed the chemistry teaching model and teaching strategies of "teaching and learning of multiple intelligences", then put to use them in the chemistry class. Based on the advantage intelligences of students, the writer tried to train the abilities of naturalist intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence etc in order to promote various intelligences of students and enhance the teaching quality.Through the analysis of the related data, the writer thought that there were six advantages in the chemistry teaching model of "teaching and learning of multiple intelligences", (1)stirring up students' interest in chemistry; (2) promoting students' advantage intelligences; (3)training the abilities of studying, thinking and creating; (4)evaluating student more fairly; (5) promoting the ability of teaching; (6)integrating the course resources effectively.After rethinking the process and result of the practice research on multiple intelligences, the writer analyzed the difficulties during the implement of multiple intelligences, and put forward some problems which need to resolve. It is hoped that the article is worth to promoting the chemistry teaching.
