Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom

Educational failure and early school dropout rates in our country currently present us with a rather bleak picture. Educational success programs focused on additional reinforcement in the linguistic-mathematical area and measures to address the diversity of students do not seem to be enough. The educational classroom, primarily the upper secondary level, due to its interdisciplinary, intercultural and personal and collective identity character, requires specific attention to these personal intelligences. The integration of the different multiple intelligences in the school curriculum will allow us to use materials, strategies and activities that are adapted to the individuality of the student, which will allow us to attend to their diversity, giving the student a leading role in the teaching-learning process and attending to their human development. In addition, it will provide the teacher with tools to identify the strengths and the way of learning of each student, favoring the development of thinking skills and the application of these skills to the curriculum and to the student's life outside the classroom.
