| Professor Howard Gardner in Harward University putforward the famous Multi-intelligence Theory in the 1980s(MIfor short). He believed the intelligence is not a kind ofability but a group of abilities; intelligence is "the abilityone uses to solve the problems and produce the manufacturesunder one or many kinds of cultures and circumstances". Theintelligence is not just based on the language ability and logicability, which is the definition of traditional intelligence.But based on the ability that one can solve the actual problemsin our daily lives and the ability one produces effectivemanufactures that are needed by the society. This kind of viewhas resonance with the educational innovation (innovation anddevelopment education)in our country.The Multi-intell'igence Theory produces new views for thecurricular and educational innovation. It emphasizes themulti-analysis of the teaching content and teaching aims, itemphasizes the multi-analysis of the teaching courses andteaching modes and single design. It claims a kind of conditionof teaching. The course and teaching innovation under theMulti-intelligence Theory brings not only the resetting of thought, but also the reconstruction of class-teaching rulesand orders., and also continuous learning and improvement ofthe teachers. It requests the teachers to renew the traditionalideas of intelligence, perfect the framework of intelligence,attach themselves to the teaching course exploitations anddesigns.The reference value of the Multi-intelligence Theory tohigh school history teaching incarnates mainly on two points:first, we can develop and improve the students'multi-intelligence through history class teaching; second, wecan use the characteristics of multi-intelligence to find newways to improve history teaching. History teachers in highschool can absorb the soul of the Multi-intelligence Theory,based on the characteristic of history teaching in high school,reform the teaching view and student view, improve the teachingmethod, perfect the students' abilities, to train betterstudents with different personalities. |
