THE THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES BY H. GARDNER IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AT THE INCLUSIVE CENTER OF EDUCATIONAL AND REHABILITATION INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION «KAMIANETS‐PODILSKYI STATE INSTITUTE»

Abstract

The article emphasizes that student-centered learning assigns the student an active role as a partner in the educational process, allowing them to actively build their own individual trajectory in professional inclusive education. At the same time, the teacher provides appropriate support in learning, taking into account the specific needs and individual characteristics of each student. The purpose of the article is defined as the analysis and synthesis of existing knowledge regarding the interpretation of the features and potential of multiple intelligences from the perspective of their application in the process of inclusive education. It is noteworthy that, according to H. Gardner’s theory, intelligence encompasses the ability to create and solve problems, produce products or provide services that are valued by culture or society. A crucial condition for implementing this process is considering the individual characteristics of learners with special needs and constructing a modern paradigm for their harmonious development in the inclusive space. According to the theory of multiple intelligences, several abilities are highlighted, which form verbal, logicalmathematical, visual, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, naturalistic, and existential types of intelligence. It is determined that the degree of development of a particular type of intelligence depends on the frequency of its use in life. The more often it is used, the more likely it is that a specific type of intelligence will develop and improve. Therefore, it is important to use modern educational technologies, the principle of student-centeredness, and facilitation in organizing the educational and professional training of future specialists with special educational needs, taking into account their needs, motivations, abilities, multiple intelligences, and other individual psychological characteristics.
