Multiple Intelligences: Implications for Further Research

From LiteracyTentWiki

For the most part, implications and questions are presented as originally written by participants at the Meeting of Minds Symposium. This means that some items might be fragments of thoughts and therefore hard to understand. If you were a participant and see such a response, please feel free to edit the implication to reflect what you or your table was thinking.

To comment on the implications, use the edit function of the wiki. To add a new implication, use a single *. To add a comment to an implication, use **. Using this notation creates the following structure:

Implications for Further Research

• Document the various pioneering efforts in addition to anecdotal evidence
• Look at how MI can help LD students
• What strategies can be used for student gains?
• Are higher academic standards going to lead to student success?
• Is “No Child Left Behind” achievable?
• What changed after participation of MI?
• If there is a classroom where teachers teach to multiple intelligences, what happens on standardized test? And, is there increased student retention?
• Outcome success company MI- influenced classes to non
• Anecdotes are SO helpful in getting used to this framework
• Expand research into skill gains on CASAS
• What kinds of alternative assessments can be developed to allow learners to demonstrate mastery using their preferred intelligence?
• Follow TANE recipients to see if they explored possibilities outside of the TANE countries or did they “toe the line?”
• Quasi experimental studies using MI and student achievement.
