The theory of multiple intelligences. Considerations for its study

Abstract

The theoretical conception of multiple intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner (1983), about the various forms that the human intellect has to manifest, is approached to determine some theoretical methodological presuppositions that allow to characterize the types of intelligence, starting from the recognition of the plurality of it as an important point in the direction of a process that offers adequate and objective attention to the diversity that is generated among the students around their peculiar ways of learning. The same is based on the fact that the current school system prioritizes linguistic intelligences and mathematical logic that are not sufficient to develop the individual talent of each student, and also the need for society to achieve an adequate pedagogical training of the professional the health that guarantees the continuity of studies from the different teaching scenarios.
