(School of Physical Education,Nanjing Normal University,Nanjing 210046,China) Abstract: By referring to the theory of multi-area intelligence, the author studied that in the dedicated aerobics course for the physical education major, student’s teaching and curriculum development capacities are a form of ex-pression of their intelligence in the aerobics course. The author expiated on the followings: the teaching capacity re-fers to the capacity of applying aerobic knowledge and skills in the practice of physical education teaching by using student’s multi-area intelligence; the said capacity is closely related to the intelligence in 7 areas described in Gard-ner’s theory of multi-area intelligence. The cultivation and enhancement of multi-area intelligence is the foundation for student’s teaching and curriculum development capacities in the aerobics course; the aerobics course develop-ment capacity can be realized via such three channels as curriculum form, curriculum content and curriculum ex-pansion.
