According to Gardner :
All human beings possess all nine
intelligences in varying amounts
Each person has a different
intellectual composition
We can improve education by
addresing the multiple intelligences of
our students
Applications
Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture
focus most of their attention on linguistic and
logical-mathematical intelligence, where some
unique ways of thinking aren’t addressed

The theory of multiple intelligences proposes a

major transformation in the way our schools are
run. It suggests that teachers be trained to present
their lessons in a wide variety of ways using
music, cooperative learning, art activities,
role play, multimedia, field trips, inner
reflection, and much more
Conclusion
An awareness of Gardner’s multiple-intelligence
theory has provided teachers with the knowledge
necessary to satisfy the educational needs of many
more students.

With an understanding of Gardner's theory of

multiple intelligences, teachers, school
administrators, and parents can understand the
different possibilities of each students’ learning
preference. The application of of multiple
intelligences in the classroom can stimulate a
student’s learning in new ways.
This world, after all our
science and sciences, is
still a miracle,
wonderful, magical and
more, to whosoever will
think of it
(Thomas
Carlyle)
