      Workshop on ‘Intelligence and Wellbeing’

      “The human species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories.”

      Being a part of any workshop is like being part of a really big family. On April 06, 2019, twenty educators from St. Xavier’s High School, Gurugram got an opportunity to participate in one day Training Programme on ‘Intelligence and Wellbeing’ conducted by the esteemed Professors and Counsellors of Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences at O. P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat.

      To explore ways to integrate Multiple Intelligence theory to curriculum, a number of interactive activities were conducted. Wherein, it came to life that intelligence is not numerically quantifiable, rather it is exhibited during a problem solving process or a performance.

      The educators were briefed about the Multiple Intelligence theory with the help of a power point presentation. The eight major areas of Multiple Intelligence namely: Linguistic, Naturalistic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Bodily - Kinesthetic, Logical-Mathematical, Musical, Spatial were talked about.

      ‘The Education that treats everybody in the same way is the most unfair education.’ It was strongly emphasised that here is a great prominence of assessing the multiple intelligence in all the students. It can be done through simple observations, maintaining school records, interaction with parents, students etc.

      Dr. Tithi Bhatnagar conducted a session on Coping with Stress and understanding Subjective Well-Being for effective relationships. Dr. Manjushree Palit talked about the best teaching practices and Emotional Intelligence. Gardner’s ‘Theory of Multiple Intelligences’ encourages educators to start thinking of intelligence as a set of many different abilities and skills that help an individual learner comprehend, examine, and respond to different types of content. The educators were told that the Teaching aids should be only prepared keeping in mind all these intelligences.

      The workshop concluded with an interactive activity for teachers to help them understand the application of the Multiple Intelligences in the classroom. Overall, it was a highly interactive and application-based workshop.
