STUDENT CHALLENGES FACING THEIR LIFE PROJECT: MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND THEIR CONTINUITY TOWARD HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

In an increasingly globalized, demanding and evolved world, in a world where skills are now more important than the academy itself, it is necessary and imperative to reflect on the motivations that students have, from the youngest levels to the highest, when they must face the challenge of beginning to assume their life project, their future and their destiny at a personal, social and professional level. The challenge of having to decide which path to take cannot be ignored by teachers, as they are key players in the teaching-learning process. Discovering students' skills and abilities in the classroom through the timely identification of multiple intelligences can be a determining factor for students when deciding on a career, a job, and their life choices. For this reason, through this research based on a documentary review, with a qualitative approach, we will address the relevance of this transcendental aspect and how, also from the theory of multiple intelligences, we can visualize and distinguish the characteristic potential of a student, their true interests and needs, and the way to assume and face one of the main challenges of being, such as their life project. This and other documentary perspectives will allow us to demonstrate how this decision-making also influences whether or not they continue with higher education, which today is so easily interrupted. Finally, through this research, we will be able to demonstrate and analyze some of the most conclusive aspects when it comes to choosing a life path from an early age, also prioritizing soft skills, so crucial to achieving success, assertive communication, and individual and professional development.
