Naturalist Intelligence: How to Recognize and Support of Pupils and Students Gifted in Natural Sciences in the Czech Republic
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article introduces Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and the so-called intelligence spectrum. It focuses on the so-called eighth – Naturalist Intelligence. It presents a research overview of how Naturalist Intelligence manifests itself. This overview is a useful tool and basis for development of diagnostics of this talent. The article discusses the situation of a child with naturalist intelligence in their class, school and family. It draws attention to the issue of assessment and advocates the idea that assessment should be fair with respect to all intelligences (such as portfolio assessment). It points out the fact that development of naturalist intelligence is nowadays impossible without extracurricular and free time activities. It also introduces two such activities – Czech Children’s Congress and the project Landscape of Our Home. The article presents 9 casuistries (selected from literature and from the author’s own research records).
