However, in a multiple intelligence learning environment, the classroom is structured differently. Students are formed into groups based on their individual smarts. This allows the students to learn the same concept being taught in the lesson, but by using their individual smarts. In the video, the teacher is encouraging and offering the students an opportunity to practice all their smarts in order for them to learn about themselves and decide the smart they feel best about. Using this method, the group is given the tools required for the particular lesson and the teacher will monitor the students as they learn using their smarts. The lessons are presented in a fun and interactive manner where each student is encouraged to participate and note down what is required of them (Ahmad, Seman, Awang, & Sulaiman, 2014). Grouping the students into different groups based on their intellectual abilities allows the students to approach the subject or topic in a similar manner and the can learn easily since they are all using the same smarts. Splitting intelligence into specific modalities instead of seeing intelligence as being dominated by a single ability ensures that the students are able to make use of their strongest modality of learning. In this way, the student is not restricted when they are learning and they are able to grasp what is being taught easily. The lessons were challenging the educational system that assumes that all students can learn the same thing using the same methods and that using a universal measuring system is enough to gauge the progress of the students.
Democracy, Multiple Intelligence, Art Project Site and Participants The project that this research is based on took place at Pantera Elementary School in Diamond Bar, California. The school population comprises approximately 200 students and twelve teachers. The ethnic make-up of Pantera is as follows: 36.8% Asian, 19.8% Hispanic, 35.9% White, 2.9% Filipino,.5% Pacific Islander and.4% American Indian/Alaskan. Neighborhoods within Pantera's boundaries are middle- and upper-middle class, with some new, upscale housing. Pantera
Intelligence is defined as the capability to learn and apply knowledge. The ability for an individual to benefit from past experiences, solve problems, act purposely, and adapt to new situations are included in intelligence (Passmore, Tong, & Wildflower, 2011). Intelligence is amongst the highly talked about subjects in psychology, but there has not been a standard definition of what precisely forms intelligence. There have been two different definitions from researchers
All these facts and considerations presented herein this research proposal establishes a basis for further research in this subject.

The language of the American colonists was highly colorful but quite formal in style, and the presentation of a speech or a content analysis of primary sources would provide elementary school students with an opportunity to experience these fundamental differences for themselves, all with a view toward improving their understanding of what life in Colonial America was really like. 2. Logico-mathematical. One of the most glaring differences between life in the
Multiple Intelligences in Art In fields traditionally driven by "talent," such as music and the visual arts, it is easy for teachers to slip into the idea that certain students have more musical aptitude than others or that other certain students will always struggle with visual arts. However, to some degree, such attitudes may be the result of the teacher's own education, where his or her special abilities were emphasized, praised,
The adoption of the MI theory to education has been uniquely framed in the following approach: A broader view of education The seven aspects of intelligence are important for an individual to have a good life. It is therefore important for educators to include aspects of all the forms of intelligence when dispensing knowledge to their student. This is in opposition to the use of the first two forms of intelligences
