Abstract
For decades, scientists and scholars have been
trying to understand the nature of intelligence, and not
surprisingly, intelligence has always been connected with
education. Many theories, models and concepts in
education have been accepted and practiced throughout
the world. Among them, Howard Gardner’s theory of
Multiple Intelligences is considered a breakthrough, as it
challenges the traditional views of intelligence. It has been
embraced by a range of educational theorists abroad and
significantly applied by teachers.
This study aims to explore how exactly the theory of MI
differs from the conventional theories of intelligence,
extent of effectiveness it brings into the academic design of
schools. It also seeks to find what opportunities the
schools were providing to children to maximize their
learning. It collaborates the findings with the type of
intelligences the school caters to and the level at which
intelligences are catered to, in the private, public and
community-based schools.
