TEACHING DESIGN AND MUSICAL-RHYTHMIC INTELLIGENCE

Summary/Abstract: Musical-rhythmic intelligence or intelligence of tone, rhythm and timbre is one of the eight types of intelligence Howard Gardner initially described (1981) in his theory of multiple intelligences. Like other types of intelligence, musical rhythmic intelligence can be dominant in some students. Therefore it is necessary to design learning contents (regardless of the discipline taught) depending on the specificity of this intelligence. This theoretical model was used as the starting point in a permanent education module attended so far by 338 teachers from three counties in Romania. In this manner, teachers of different specializations adapted to the types of intelligent learning contents described by Gardner.The paper presents the results of this exercise, focusing on the integration of musical-rhythmic intelligence in teaching design.
