Învățarea școlară din perspectiva inteligențelor multiple

Abstract

The quality of learning process is a real key in the transformation of education. So stimulating students to learn is the core of progress in education. Thus, the fundamental role of the school is to facilitate learning. The theory of Multiple Intelligences is gaining more and more ground, both in the educational environment and in society in general. This theory changes the perspective on students’ abilities. According to H. Gardner’s theory, all people possess certain types of intelligence, which are fixed in a certain area and in turn developed according to certain abilities, which can work both together and separately. Discovering the theory of Multiple Intelligences, which is applied to the classroom, allows the cultivation of talents, and these talents become real assets for guiding students throughout their schooling, and beyond. The advantage of knowing the bouquet of intelligences of students is that it permits the teaching staff to use the right approach in order to master a subject/discipline. This will generate for the student the pleasure and motivation to learn. With the help of multiple intelligences, the student will discover his strengths and talents: he will realize that he is smart, he will know what strengths he can rely on, and these, at the same time will fuel his self-esteem, which in turn will lead to better school performance.
