二十世纪八十年代美国著名教育家霍华德·加德纳针对传统的智能一元化理论,首次提出了多元智能理论并证明了人类思维和认识世界的方式是多元化的。他对人的八种智能做了定义,指出每一种智能在人类认识世界和改造世界的过程中都发挥着巨大的作用,具有同等的重要性。环境和教育对于能否使这些智力潜能得到开发和培育起着重要作用。这些理论对我们认识和区别有差异的个体,深入实施素质教育和提高课堂教学效益是非常有帮助的。 In the 1980s, the famous American educator Howard Gardner, for the first time, proposed the theory of multiple intelligences and proved that the human way of thinking and understanding of the world is diversified. He defined eight kinds of human intelligence and pointed out that each kind of intelligence plays an important role in human’s understanding of the world and the transformation of the world, and has equal importance. Environment and education play an important role in enabling these intellectual potential to be developed and nurtured. These theories are very helpful for us to know and distinguish the difference individual, to carry out quality education in depth and to improve the efficiency of classroom teaching.
