Multiple Intelligence for Teachers
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences proposes that intelligence is not a single uniform capacity but comprises various types that can be nurtured or diminished. These include nine distinct intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, and interpersonal, each associated with different learning styles and career paths. Educators are encouraged to recognize and integrate these intelligences into their teaching to enhance student learning.
