2. The theory of multiple intelligences
was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard
Gardner, professor of education at
Harvard University. It suggests that
the traditional notion of intelligence,
based on I.Q. testing, is far too
limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes
eight different intelligences to
account for a broader range of human
potential in children and adults.
3. Howard Gardner, Ph.D. is a professor at
Harvard University and the author of many
books and articles. His theory of multiple
intelligences has challenged long-held
assumptions about intelligence -- especially
about a single measure of intelligence. Dr.
Gardner also co-directs Harvard's Project
Zero.
4. Is somewhat autonomous from other human
capacities
Has a core set of information-processing
operations
Has a distinct history in the stages of
development we each pass through
Has plausible roots in evolutionary history
6. When asked how educators should
implement the theory of multiple intelligences,
Gardner says, “ It's very important that a teacher
take individual differences among kids very
seriously The bottom line is a deep interest in
children and how their minds are different from
one another, and in helping them use their
minds well.“
