Howard Gardner is still talked about today because of his very famous Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Now you may think this theory isn’t that big of a deal, although this theory has had a big, important impact on how we think about human intelligence. This theory can be helpful to think about all of the contrary mental strengths that a person may possess. Howard Gardner is a very successful and smart man who is not only known for The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, but also because he wrote hundreds of research articles and published thirty books. Gardner’s approach is still relevant today in education, his theory can help bring students back into learning. This is because by using the different intelligences it can help teach a concept that allows each learner to have a chance at succeeding at learning. Unfortunately, Howard Gardner retired from teaching in 2019

Howard Gardner’s approach to his theory of multiple intelligences has some advantages. This is because it brings new insights into education which helps students identify and develop their strengths and helps discover more effective teaching methods. Gardner introduced 8 different types of intelligences and he claims to say that each and every intelligence is equally essential and important to an individual’s development. This is because it expands our horizon of learning tools and available teaching beyond the conventional and logical methods used in schools.  However, Howard Gardner’s approach to his theory of multiple intelligences also has some disadvantages. It has been proven that Howard’s theory has a lack of supporting actual, verifiable research. This has led some people to criticize and question Gardner’s theory. For example, some people may argue that Gardner’s eight different “intelligences” only represent personality traits, talents, and abilities. Some might also say that his definition of intelligence is too broad.
