Summary:

The theory of multiple intelligence has been applied in education of several countries. A number of schools have been using multiple intelligence as an underpinning framework or principles for their activities. Teachers have been acquiring knowledge and applying this theory in their teaching practice, contributing to the change towards active teaching methods. Each type of intelligence will fit with certain teaching methods. Teachers in multiple intelligence classrooms need to creatively apply and combine the different teaching methods. The application of multiple intelligence is important not only to children, but also to adult learning. Adult learners have specific characteristics in learning styles, learning conditions, thus a relevant application of multiple intelligence in adult learning will help overcome obstacles as well as enhance strengths in adult education and learning.
