Howard Gardner (Multiple Intelligences)

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that intelligence is not a single ability but a combination of different types. He identified at least eight types, including linguistic (language), logical-mathematical (reasoning), musical (sound), spatial (visual), bodily-kinesthetic (movement), interpersonal (understanding others), intrapersonal (self-awareness), and naturalistic (nature). This framework recognizes that people have unique strengths and talents, and it emphasizes the importance of education that caters to diverse intelligences, allowing individuals to learn and express themselves in ways that resonate with their innate abilities.
