INTRODUCTION
 Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner, (born July 11, 1943, Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.),
American cognitive psychologist and author, best known for his theory of
multiple intelligences.

The theory of multiple intelligences affected many school-improvement efforts in

the United States. Gardner and others promoted efforts to understand diverse
student capacities and emphasized the need for personalized educational
environments, improved interdisciplinary curricular programs, and the use of
performance-based assessments.
 Learning Strategies
Learning strategies refer to a range of strategies that can be implemented to
improve learning. Examples include using memory cards, spaced repetition,
practice tests, strategic highlighting, and reciprocal questioning.

Teaching strategies are the techniques and methods that a teacher applies to
support student learning. A teacher selects the teaching strategy most suited
to the current level of knowledge of the students, the concept being studied,
and the stage in the learning journey of the students..
Why are learning styles
important?

As teacher, it is important to
know your students, especially
their strengths.
C
Teachers should more to know what is the
best way to get an individual student to
process and absorb information.

C
Teachers can then use that information to
help their students succeed academically

 Key Points of MI Theory

•People possess 9 intelligences

•Each individual has a different intelligence profile

•Education can be improved by assessment of students’

intelligence

•Each intelligence occupies different area of the brain

•The 9 intelligence may operate independently from one

another
