The Application Of Multiple Intelligence Theory In Junior High School Mathematics Teaching

Classroom is the place where teachers give knowledge and students learn it. Good teaching effects need students’ cooperation and teacher’s factors also. The factors about teachers should include their teaching level,personal temperament, teaching ideas and teaching methods. Different teaching methods and evaluation ways affect the effect of learning; therefore they influence the quality of teaching. I am in favor of quality education,and the multiple intelligence theory exactly is a theory which advocates quality education strongly. The paper is based on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory. We carefully selected 2 classes for comparison; the students in the two classes are almost the same level in math grade and in the number of students. The tested class used the teaching methods from the multiple intelligence theory, while the comparison class used traditional teaching ways. During the whole period of testing teaching methods, we carried out three times of questionnaire investigations, and analyzed the data of questionnaires with SPSS software, therefore we conclude as follows:We hereby put forward some strategies for the quality education:1. We should focus on the logic math intelligence in the math course.At the same time, we should educate other intelligences for our society.2. In middle school’s math course, we should develop 5 key intelligences which are related to math thinking logic. During our math teaching,we should adapt our teaching strategies to educate those intelligences.The strategies includes as follows:Logical math intelligence and math teaching;Language intelligence and Communicating Math, KnowledgeUnderstanding and Math Exercises;Space intelligence and geometric proof;Interpersonal intelligence and math group cooperation;Self-cognition intelligence and math solution’s reflection.
