Three characters of the learner according to Gardner

Gardner explained (Gardner Theory) that there were three characters of the learner: 1. intuitive learner (learner intuitive), 2. disciplinary expert / skilled person (skilled person), 3. traditional student / learner Scholastic. Each character has its limitations, understand the limitations of each character will determine what will be learned and how they learn it so they managed to understand. There is a gap between these three characters;

1. Gap between the intuitive learner and the traditional student: Students who have enough understanding of intuition is perfectly often show great difficulty in mastering the lessons of school.
2. Gap between the traditional student and the disciplinary expert: Students are rewarded specifically failed to transfer their knowledge to new settings, therefore traditional students would show up most far from an expert in disciplines as a younger, intuitive learners.
3. Gap between the intuitive learner and disciplinary expert: both are less studied and posed in the traditional student. Both are gaps where the intuitive learner faces a natural but naive understanding of the world while on disciplinary expert understanding comes from that has been done by scholars and artists who consciously and cumulative in maintaining their respective disciplines.
