Sažetak

Starting with the theory of multiple intelligences and its pedagogical implications, as well as the ecology as an existential concern of humankind, this study, based on a theoretical analysis, suggests an actual possibility of the existence and development of ecological intelligence as a specific intelligence type. The necessity for researching the existence and development of ecological intelligence is explained on the basis of the social significance of and a need for ecological education and training for preventive and curative ecological activity, which requires the development of specific cognitive abilities, as well as on the basis of intelligence as a starting point for rational ecological action and learning. After considering psychological and ecological theories, this study explores, according to Gardner’s Comprehensive Overview of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the required criteria and recognisable features of ecological intelligence. Based on the analysis and illustration of these criteria, the author finds that ecological intelligence almost entirely meets the criteria. The study concludes by suggesting an initiative for psychological and pedagogical exploration of ecological intelligence.
