THE INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD THROUGH MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

Abstract

One of the most important stages in a person's life is Infant Education, where they are dependent on adults, but also have a much easier time acquiring new notions and internalising new experiences. Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences methodology is one of the many that can be used in an Early Childhood Education classroom and one of the most innovative when it comes to developing these skills. It is a different alternative to the current educational method of teaching and learning, which is based on a more traditional methodology. The paper presents a theoretical framework on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and a brief overview of the evolution of the concept of intelligence, as well as a reference to a school that pioneered this methodology. The document ends with a didactic proposal consisting of eight activities and how to bring them to the classroom.
