Answer: howard gardner, a professor at Harvard University in the United States, founded the theory of "multiple intelligences", arguing that "every child is a potential gifted child, but his ways of expression are often different." The advocacy of this theory makes it possible for modern education to become an "engine for developing and releasing people's creative potential". Gardner believes that the human intelligence structure consists of eight intelligent elements. The application of his theory in pre-school education in China is as follows: respecting educational fairness and forming the educational concept of "teaching without distinction"; Respect children's differences and pay attention to "fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses"; Pay attention to the development of children's superior intelligence; Help children transfer the characteristics of the dominant intellectual field to other intellectual fields.
