The theory of multiple intelligences (MI theory for short) is a brand-new theory of human intelligence structure put forward by American educator and psychologist Dr. H. Gardner. It believes that human thinking and cognitive styles are diverse.
The theory of multiple intelligences is a new concept of international education that has swept the world since the mid-1980s. It was first put forward by Dr. H. Gardner, a famous contemporary American psychologist and educator, in the book "The Structure of Intelligence" in 1983, and has been continuously developed and improved in later research.
Since the theory of multiple intelligences was put forward, it has aroused strong repercussions among educators in the United States and more than 20 other countries and regions in the world. Since the connotation of this theory is closely related to the quality education being advocated and implemented in China, the theory of multiple intelligences has been introduced more and more in China since the 1990s.
The theory of multiple intelligences was put forward by Gardner in 1983, and has experienced many developments in the future. According to this theory, intelligence is the ability to solve problems or create products, which is considered valuable in a particular culture or environment.
