Dr. Howard Gardner is the proponent of Multiple Intelligence. This theory has something to do with the capacity, talent and power of a learner that he possess. The essence of cognitive, psycho motor, and affective domains would best explain this idea. Absolutely he enumerated 8 Multiple Intelligence, and these cleverness and brainpower of a learner best describes her/him inside the classroom. As of now this is actually the basis of the teachers in addressing the lessons to his learners. Learner-centered indeed.
