Features: The theory of multiple intelligences is a brand-new theory about the structure of human intelligence. In 1983, Howard Gardner, an American psychologist, published a work titled "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences." Gardner believed that intelligence is a very important ability to solve problems or create products within a specific cultural background or society. Practical life situations are the prerequisite for the existence of intelligence, solving practical problems is the expression of intelligence, and being able to provide important creativity and service to one's own culture, that is, innovation, is the highest realm of intelligence. Since the theory was proposed, many schools across the United States have actively practiced and explored based on the theory of multiple intelligences and have accumulated rich experience. These are of positive reference significance for us to carry out quality education for children. In 1983, Howard Gardner, an American psychologist, published the work "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences," in which Gardner believed that the traditional view of intelligence was too narrow, mainly limiting intelligence to linguistic and logical-mathematical abilities, while ignoring other equally important aspects for human development, such as music, spatial sense, bodily-kinesthetic abilities, interpersonal skills, etc. Gardner defined intelligence as: the ability to solve problems or create products within a specific cultural background or society. It can be seen that practical life situations are the prerequisite for the existence of intelligence, solving practical problems is the expression of intelligence, and being able to provide important creativity and service to one's own culture, that is, innovation, is the highest realm of intelligence.
