 H. M. prescott has elaborated, �leading others is an obvious skill for these learners, as are organizing, mediating, communicating, and understanding people and how to work well with them� (2001). The learners or children with high degree of interpersonal intelligence �can often sense the characters' and the authors' moods, feelings, motivations, and intentions� (H. M. Prescott; Kaschub, 2002; Morgan, 1996). In contrast, Vygotsky (1987) has shared that �this process [interpersonal] is social, reality related and functional within the child's emotional world� (as cited in Roper & Davis, 2000). In addition, Vygotsky has proposed that the child may go �through a transitional form� that the outward expression, emotions �leads to intrapersonal [becomes inner expression and emotion] form of organization� that is learnt in a social setting, which Gardner classified as intrapersonal (Roper & Davis). Educators can nurture the children�s ability to work in-groups (Thompson & Thornton, 2002). In Learning is a process of collaboration, where the students "work together as decision makers and active participants in the group process" (Thompson & Thornton). However, educators need to teach their students the process of appraising "group effectiveness, set goals, and peer and self evaluation" and to incorporate a "thoughtful grading processes that recognize individual merit and achievement as well as teamwork" (Thompson & Thornton). Collaborative and "Cooperative learning facilitates the acquisition" of content by those with a high degree of interpersonal intelligence, and "awaken" this intelligence "in others" (Thompson & Thornton). To apply this in practice, one can allow the children or students to participate in group activities, discussions, and fun games (Hoerr, 2002b). As result of cooperative and �collaborative� learning (Scarnati, & William, 1993), one�s understanding of people and relationships enhances, as well it allows for the learner to practice the skill of negotiation and becoming of an "excellent team player" (Hoerr).  |
