Content: His research and subsequent theories on child development closely aligned with the work of Jean Piaget. Howard Gardner (1943-) – Multiple Intelligences Theory
Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences has redefined educators’ views of how students learn and should be assessed. Historically, intelligence has been measured through the ability to problem solve and to demonstrate cognitive ability through various controlled verbal and performance-type tasks. Gardner’s theory broadens the field of how individuals display their intelligence by including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, special, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. Through his influence there has been a greater emphasis placed on performance testing, and educators have become more conscious of the need for diversification of instructional strategies to match the different learning styles and strengths of students. #Education, #PioneersofEducation
