Multiple Intelligences - Howard Gardner


After I have read the Chat with Howard Gardner I would like to post something about that. Using MI theory allows students to build their own knowledge, also is useful to encourage students to develop metacognition and to make them conscious of their own thinking and learning processes. Also I would like to highlight the enormous value of the arts and the development of creativity in early Childhood Education.

Nowadays we live in a technological society that is changing every second with a large number of transformations. In this framework human development and creativity are inseparable. The progress of humanity is related to the creativity and the capacity of innovate and have new ideas. That is why the society, through education, has to empower and enable people to be innovative, critical, creative and thoughtful.

Experts recognize that the arts in early Childhood Education play an important role in the development of the creative capacity.

I attached a video of the British Ken Robinson, expert on developing creativity.
