Multiple Intelligences

“Intelligence is the capacity to do something useful in the society in which we live. Intelligence is the ability to respond successfully to new situations and the capacity to learn from one’s past experiences.”
—Dr. Howard Gardner, author, Frames of Mind and Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice

Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of cognition and education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, developed his theory of multiple intelligences twenty years ago. Simply put, Dr. Gardner posits that people employ several different types of intelligence, rather than one general type.

  1. Hi classmates.
    Recently has been published an article in the Washington Post, related with the "Multiple Intelligences" from the hand of Howard Gardner, who detailed a new model of human intelligence.
    The famed psychologist explains why one is not the other though they are often confused. Individualize your teaching as much as possible.
