Dear,
Howard Gardner presented a theory of multiple intelligence which actually touches all essential aspects of modern learning theories which is why is so important in education. For instance, Howard Gardner presented seven intelligence;
Visual spatial - is helpful in gaining concrete concepts by viewing objects, shapes and writing etc;
Bodily kinesthetic - i.e. dancing, surgery and so on;
musical - having sensitivity to learning through rhythm and music;
interpersonal - understanding through interaction with other students;
intrapersonal - learners who are normally shy and learn from own concepts and ideas, often they are independent learners;
logical-mathematical - they think conceptually and explore patterns and relativity; and
linguistic - they learn from words and often busy in reading and develop meaning from words, i.e. poetic people;
I hope this will be of some help to you to gain a picturesque understanding of why Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence is so important in education.
