Multiple Intelligences as a New Paradigm in the Education of Mexico

Abstract

The level of education attained by the different people of the world divided between those that only a small segment has achieved the benefits and those who are made great progress by combining a more equitable distribution of opportunities for training and education with high throughput. The less developed economies are not efficient education system to train sufficient human capital with the ability to incorporate knowledge in all sectors of the economy. This paper aims to study the educational system of Mexico and multiple intelligences in the process of education in Mexican education system too.Keywords: Higher Education, Mexico, Multiple Intelligences, Educational Policy, Educational Foresight. ISSN 1948-5476 2010 www.macrothink.org/ije 3 International Journal of Education The environmentThe so-called information society and knowledge is a consequence of globalization processes many similarities in trends in higher education globally, such as the universalization of higher education which is expressed in a variety of supply options with different educational plans and curricula. Changing the contents of plans and programs of study should enable Higher Education Institutes, HEIs graduates more opportunities in entering the labor market, considering the requirements of specialization given the scientific and technological advances on the one hand, and the trans-formation. The transformation of the contents of plans and programs of study implies a revision of the principles of educational philosophy and the redesign of academic models and institutional organization, the new grid exit profiles, instructional strategies capable of promoting trans-disciplinarily and complexity of scientific and technological phenomena.However, rapid scientific advances, especially those in information technology and communications coupled with the increasing economic globalization processes, they need to review and reconsider these assumptions as a requirement of a state policy on public higher education, science and technology, a structural perspective and long-term, if one wants to answer the growing demands of Mexican society of the XXI Century. The evolving role of the state involves re-engineering processes to design new roles in education, research and technological development. The Mexican state should continue to keep the active regulation of the IES by strengthening market mechanisms and the promotion of linking the company to stimulate academic and scientific output.Herrera (2002) explained that the urgency of institutional transformation in higher education lies in the convergence of forces such as the international trend determined by the impact of globalization and scientific-technological revolution of the late twentieth century, the approach national education policies that are very receptive to the recommendations of multilateral agencies seeking process, in most cases which cause reforms leading to improved quality, coverage and relevance within the traditional, disciplinary, bureaucratic and hierarchic...

Assessment of Multiple Intelligences in First-Year Engineering Students in Northeast Mexico

“…The challenge for higher education in Mexico is to redefine its role and mission to establish strategies to achieve sustainable development, a culture of peace, and global ethics [52]. This analysis confirms the idea that adaptations must be made in instructional design in order to achieve more inclusive and effective education.…”

Development of an adaptive and intelligent tutoring system by expert system

“…In the past 20 years since the theory of Multiple Intelligences was introduced, it has been found to be a useful construct in many settings such as education and training, career guidance and development, counselling and personal development. In particular, research has suggested that the impact of the Multiple Intelligence theory in the classroom has been significant (Hajhashemi et al, 2012;Hernández et al, 2010). It should be noted however that the theory of Multiple Intelligence has many critics who state that intelligences should be described as special talents and that there is no empirical basis for the different intelligences.…”

“…As a consequence, it offers a rich structure and language in which to develop content and model the student. Currently, the application of Multiple Intelligence to adaptive educational systems is still very limited and in the early stages of research (Hernández et al, 2010). Hence, this research proposes that the use of the Multiple Intelligence framework of individual differences in the design of AITS offers an unexplored dimension that may enhance learning.…”
