Gardner himself has realized the difficulty in implementing MI types of
assessment. He gave educators assessment tips in the following eight items
as an alternative to standardizes testing: |
|
Emphasize assessment rather than testing. Has the student improved or recognized
personal skills? |
|
Create a definition of assessment as simple, natural, and occurring
on a regular and reliable schedule. |
|
Make sure to assess valid, actual, and necessary knowledge. |
|
Use instruments, tools, and procedures that respect the multiple intelligences. |
|
Utilize many different ways of measuring intelligence. |
|
Be sensitive to individual differences, developmental levels, and forms
of expertise. |
|
Use intrinsically interesting and motivating materials. |
|
Allow assessment to contain lots of feedback for the student. |
