What is intelligence?
Gardner´s theory of intelligence
The theory of multiple intelligences ("MIT") was developed by psychologist Howard Gardner in early 1980s. The author propose that individuals (students) possess eight relatively autonomous intelligences ( linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence - for more see pictures bellow). However in modern schools are only two of these intelligences tested linguistic and logical mathematical). Therefore MIT offers another perspective. This point of view can broaden educators horizons with two advantages: First, it may pave the ways for planning the education program in a way that students realize their potentials and move toward their desires; second, it can make it possible for teacher to reach students who are more active because learning would be more attractive in a condition that learners are trained through the use of these intelligences.
