MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE AND THE DESIGN OF WEB-BASED INSTRUCTION By (Your name) Presented to (Instructor/Tutor) (Course/Subject) (Institution/University) (City/State) (Date) Multiple Intelligence and the Design of Web-Based Instruction Due to advancement of technology in the training and growth of distance training use of multiple intelligence to design web based instructions has been improving over the days. This has been caused by the current shift towards more students opting to do distance based education training. This is a research proposal on use of Multiple Intelligence; it will evaluate on the most appropriate intelligence features to be incorporated in the website. For the purpose of this research proposal it will evaluate on seven intelligences. Which include linguistic intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, Musical intelligence, Bodily kinesthetic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and Naturalist intelligence. Linguistic Intelligence According to Gardner, Milheim & Osciak, (2005) educational systems are mostly favor those who are using linguistic and logical mathematical learners. Linguistic intelligence is also know as verbal. Linguistic is for use of words effectively either when it is written or spoken. This intelligence is highly developed by orators, story tellers, editors and journalists during their duty of operations on daily basis (Allen, 2003). This form of career includes a lot of speaking and writing hence they need a lot of linguistic intelligence to remain competitive in the industry. Likewise for the students with high degree they learn through listening and reading they do also enjoy reading books (Winner, 1988). Therefore, it is necessary to keep on updating their skills for linguistic intelligence. Such students and career people would benefit from linguistic intelligence by use of word processors which allow voice annotations, software`s which have speech out and those which would assist them create essays and poets as well as desktop publishing programs. Use of videodiscs, tape recorders and multimedia do also support such kind of training. The main reason why it`s very necessary to include linguistic intelligence is because of its effect on ability to use written and verbal means of communication in training. Hence, it is responsible of drawing syntax, semantics, word forms and other means of communication. A good example of someone with high degree of linguistic intelligence is a poet or journalist. Another reason is its role in educations systems for it to be effective there must be both written and verbal communication. According to Jansak, (2011) the most effective means of awakening the linguistic intelligence is through writings and reading, having discussions to expound on ideas, learn use of new words and research on areas on topics of interest with an aim of improving verbal and written skills. Logical Mathematical Intelligence Logical mathematical intelligence uses number to reason effectively. These skills are highly developed by computer programmers, statisticians, accountants and mathematicians. While students those who uses logical mathematical intelligence are those who study computer programming software, spreadsheet and database programs and computer programming software (Boulton, 2002). Use of logistical mathematical intelligence would benefit professionals and students through provision of skills in development of software`s and other forms of numerical calculations. It has a combination of mathematical, scientific and logical ability of using numerical values. Logical mathematical intelligence does not have any relation to verbal or audio spheres which are used for ordering and assessment of various objects which has different impacts on the objects (Osciak & Milheim, 2001). Use of the features in development of the web based instructions would be beneficial to logicians and mathematicians with the skills they need in their studies or career. Use of logical mathematical intelligence is highly regarded and it is a main component in training hence it should be include in the web based instructions (Gardner, 2001). The intention of incorporating it is with an aim of creating events which compare and contrast two subjects to create a product and follow it in the right directions. By incorporating logical mathematical intelligence the students will be able to get excellent evaluation skills to resolve problems, boosts thinking on abstract ideas such as being able to conduct scientific experiments and solving complex computations (Eisner, 2004).). For the students who will use the systems they have the potential of being mathematicians, Engineer and accountants (Lynn, 2006). Use of such intelligence enables them do mathematics using their head with ease, they are good in strategy games, enjoy scientific experiments and have good skills of organizing things by category. Spatial Intelligence Spatial Intelligence also known as Visual Intelligence, this intelligence will be used transform the perception on the ability to perceive the world in an accurate manner. Spatial Intelligence is mostly developed by architects, inventors, artists, interior design and guides (Mypersonality, 2011). The intelligence is very much helpful to students who are pursuing design, film production, and maps and charts something which requires the skills such as painting programs draw, color coding and multimedia programming. It is therefore necessary to form a mental model in a spatial pattern or images. The design of the web based instructions would be used to maneuver images to be able to operate in that environment. Most of the professionals such as painters, engineers, sailors and surgeons have high spatial intelligence which they use to make informed decisions in their line of career (Frazer, 1997). To get such professionals who are highly imaginative with ability to visualize something even before it is completed and design skills to communicate ideas and opinion. A good example is a designer of a house they are able to visualize the house how it will be even before it has been started such a person has Spatial Intelligence/ Visual Intelligence to what is rarely seen by other people. This is an important training feature which is required for those who are able to visualize with the eyes open (Cherry, 2011). They are good at remembering places, drawing and can easily notice shape and colors; they are also good in solving visual puzzles and like books with pictures. Musical Intelligence Use of musical intelligence at the web based instructions has the capability to transform, perceive, and express musical forms. These skills are highly developed in critics, musical performers, and aficionados (Jensen & Furnham, 2008). ...
