Terms


cognitive learning – actual information and retention

cooperative learning – organizing students into small groups to undertake a particular experience; working together

eurhythmics – a system of training through physical movement to music to develop grace and musical understanding

multiple intelligence theory – Multiple Intelligence Theory was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that traditional ways of testing for intelligence may be biased to certain types of individuals. Everybody has a different mind, and no two profiles of intelligence are the same. Therefore, the traditional concept of measuring intelligence by I.Q testing is far too restricted.
