Howard Gardner - Multiple Intelligences Theories

Howard Gardner was instrumental in showing the role of intelligence in learning. He showed how learning is shaped by linguistics, music, logistics/mathematics, spatial relationships, kinesthetics, intrapersonal relationships, interpersonal relationships and naturalistic discrimination.

Gardner’s principles for the role of intelligence in learning:
1. Individuals should be encouraged to use their preferred intelligences in learning.
2. Instructional activities should appeal to different forms of intelligence.
3. Assessment of learning should measure multiple forms of intelligence. http://tip.psychology.org/gardner.html
