MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES: A CONTRIVANCE FOR EMPOWERING LEARNERS BY USING IT IN LEARNING STYLES FOR 21ST CENTUARY

This paper attempts to provide a solution to teaching students with differences. Many teachers resist with finding ways to reach individual learning styles and desires. One teaching method that can accommodate for this variety of learning styles is Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. This article attempts to provide a brief indication of the eight multiple intelligences associated with Howard Gardner's theory. Each of the intelligences encompasses certain characteristics and these characteristics lend themselves to particular professions, discussed in the paper. The article also suggests specific teaching methods and ways for educators to incorporate the intelligences into their daily lesson planning for practical use in the classroom. This, in turn, allows each child to learn in a way that is associated to his or her strengths, solving the age-old dilemma of how to meet the individual differences of individual students.
