The Theory of Multiple Intelligences was proposed by psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983. It suggests that intelligence is not a single entity but a combination of various types, each representing different ways of processing information. Gardner identified at least eight distinct intelligences, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, and musical intelligences, among others. This theory emphasizes that individuals have unique strengths and learning styles, which can influence their educational experiences. By recognizing these diverse intelligences, educators can tailor their teaching methods to better accommodate different learners, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
