Question

A quote from a famous Educationist is given: Identify the person from the quote.

"But once we realize that people have very different kinds of minds, different kinds of strengths- some people are good in thinking spatially, some in thinking language, others are very logical, other people need to be hands-on and explore actively and try things out - then education, which treats everybody the same way, is actually the most unfair education"?

• A. Howard Gardner
• B. Jerome Bruner
• C. Jean Piaget
• D. Vygotsky

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Howard Gardner

• The quote emphasizes the idea that people have different kinds of intelligences and learning strengths, which aligns with Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

• Gardner proposed that intelligence is not a single entity but consists of multiple intelligences, including:

• Linguistic

• Logical-mathematical

• Spatial

• Musical

• Bodily-kinesthetic

• Interpersonal

• Intrapersonal

• Naturalistic

• His theory suggests that education should cater to different types of learners rather than adopting a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
