Howard Gardner¡¯s Theory of 
Multiple Intelligences 
(Kim, 2009)
Practical Intelligence 
? Practical Intelligence is the ability to find a more optimal fit 
between themselves and the demands of the environment 
through adapting to the environment, shaping the 
environment, or selecting a new environment in the pursuit 
of personally-valued goals (Sternberg & Hedlund, 2002). 
? Adult learners have the ability to use experience and 
skills of everyday living and apply it to knowledge in the 
classroom. 
? Practical Intelligence and Tacit (Sternberg & Hedlund, 
2002). 
? Adult learners apply problem solving and personal 
experience to knowledge 
? Known as ¡°street smarts ¡° and or ¡°common Sense¡± 
? Knowledge not learned through training 
? Knowledge not found in books
Practical Intelligence 
? The Conceptualization of Tacit Knowledge 
? Tacit knowledge is context-specific knowledge about 
what to do in a given situation or class of situations 
(Sternberg & Hedlund, 2002). 
? Practical intelligence is implied knowledge. It is not a 
linguistic or a numerical form of knowledge it is more 
personal (Sternberg & Hedlund, 2002). 
? Example: Adults learn through personal experience 
like learning a new language one may not be able to 
learn the language just by learning the rules of 
grammar they have to be around it hear it and pick it 
up. It can¡¯t be explained in words, it is simply 
understood.
Emotional Intelligence

? Why you feel the way you do 
? Your moral compass 
? Self management-how you handle things and 
how effective you are 
? Aligning your actions with your passion 
? How you put together relationships 
? In 2013 Hill and Rivera defined emotional 
intelligence as the ability to be aware and in 
control of one¡¯s own emotions as well as 
empathic with others, the ability to motivate 
yourself.

context 
? Incorporating knowledge from education and 
experiences

highlighted the impact of cultural 
intelligence¡­
