The authors write about the prevailing concept of intelligence, basically in the Costa Rican educational system, which is an old-fashioned, traditional viewpoint that has no relation with the reality of high school students. Based on that information, they start to explore the findings of Goleman and Gardener on emotional intelligence and multiple intelligences. It is said that the educational centers have not incorporated these last tendencies and there is a need for a renovation that will assign new meanings to the act of learning.
