Overview

• Definition• Multiple Intelligence (MI)• Conclusion


Definition


• What is Intelligence?

Intelligence:“An ability to solve

problems and/or create products.”

“Intelligences are not skills; they are biological potentials which are realized to a greater or

lesser extent dependent upon each individual’s opportunities

and motivation.”


MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES“The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 byDr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University.

It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.”
