Developing students' multiple intelligences in the classroom can be a

complicated task when planning courses. In the same way, meeting the needs
of all students during daily lessons is an even more significant challenge.
However, through the use of different activities, the development of students'
intelligences can be promoted, while meeting the objectives of the lesson.

The theory of multiple intelligences can serve as a complement and help when
planning the courses. The theory was developed by Harvard University
psychologist Howard Gardner. It proposes the existence of eight types of
intelligences in the human being and the capacity we all have for their
development, which allows us to understand why we learn in different ways.

In this document, you will find 48 activities that you can use your daily classes
and integrate them into the curriculum. However, we recommend considering
the following:

1. Howard Gardner recommends us to individualize and pluralize the

information when using the theory of multiple intelligences in the classroom.
Individualize- Learn as much as possible about each student and teach
them in a way that is comfortable and effective for them.
Pluralize- Teach relevant material in several ways.

For more information on the use of the theory of multiple intelligences in the
classroom visit our website: www.learningbp.com
