This document discusses Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which identifies eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. It also discusses theories of adult learning including Knowles' principles of andragogy, constructivism which views learning as an active process of constructing knowledge, and social development theory which posits that social interaction precedes cognitive development.
