Aspects of the Application of Theory of Multiple Intelligences in Romanian School with Students between 10 and 14 Years Old

Although Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences bloomed 30 years ago and it is now largely used in education worldwide, in Romania there is still little use of it. Unfortunately most teachers and parents still worship the IQ narrow approach and almost completely neglect the other types of intelligence. Our research proves that even if there are some open minded educators who would like to put T.M.I. into practice in their schools, they are prevented by the national curriculum and standardized evaluation mainly, so that only few private schools in Romania use T.M.I. approach at present mostly with extra- curricular activities.
