The Multiple Intelligence Theory
Howard Gardner’s (1943-1999) theory of Multiple Intelligence reinforces his cross-cultural perspective of human cognition. The concept of the environment assumes a strong importance, since acc to Gardner, we come not only from differing localities, abilities, cultures, and home experiences, but we inherently have different learning modalities. In addition, we possess varying combinations of these learning modalities.
He has proposed ten intelligences, out of which two are the recent once. These are the tools for learning, problem-solving and creating that human beings can use. These are present in every individual in varying amounts.
Schools instead of focusing on linguistic and logic should train students in various areas like music, self awareness, group processes, dance and performing dance to ensure holistic and all round development of students.
