Stimulating Cinesthetic-body Intelligence in a "Extraordinary" Experience

Abstract

We all have intelligences and we are capable of developing them. The recognition of these intelligences facilitates more individualized teaching processes, which help to understand the contents in which one has the most difficulty. Howard Gardner, an American psychologist, has studied and identified the intelligences and how they manifest themselves, among them, kinesthetic-corporeal. The objective of this work is to apply stimuli to the kinesthetic-corporal intelligence of the students in order to recognize their individual potentialities and to prepare for learning by subsidizing the inclusion of new learning methodologies in a multidisciplinary perspective. It was worked with a group of the Administration course of Vale do Acaraú State University, Sobral-CE, in an experiential approach with participant methodology, classified as qualitative. It was perceived from reports and experiences that the recognition of the potentialities of this intelligence and its efficient use can influence and optimize the learning process.
