Multiple Intelligences

logical-mathematical intelligence, and this traditional definition of intelligence is now regarded as too narrow. We now know that 75% of teachers are sequential, analytical presenters, but 70% of students do not actually learn this way. A number of investigators now believe that the mind consists of several independent modules or intelligences. The educational psychologist most responsible for this change of attitude is Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University in the United States and the creator of Multiple Intelligence theory. Multiple Intelligence theory, according to Gardner, is an endorsement of three key propositions: we are not all the same, we do not all have the same kinds of minds, and education works most effectively if these differences are taken into account.
