In the World Library of Educationalists series, international
experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they
judge to be their finest pieces--extracts from books, key articles,
salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical
contributions--so the work can read them in a single manageable
volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of
their work and see their contribution to the development of a
field.
A developmental psychologist by training, Howard Gardner has spent
the last 30 years researching, thinking and writing about the
development and education of the mind. He has contributed over 30
years researching, thinking and writing about the development and
education of the mind. He has contributed over 30 books and 700
articles to the field. He is best known for his critique of the
notion that intelligence is one single human intelligence that can
be assessed through psychometric tests. Instead Gardner developed
the theory of "multiple intelligence" which states that an
individual has eight relatively autonomous intelligence:
- Language
- Music
- Emotional
- Logical-mathematical
- Spatial
- Kinesthetic
- Creative
- Interpersonal (understanding oneself)
This theory has proved popular, particularly with those who see the
IQ testing a relatively narrow set of abilities.
In this book, he brings together over 20 of his key writings in one
place. The book begins with a specially written Introduction, which
gives an overview of Howard's career and contextualizes his
selection in this book. Through his selection we can see the
development of his thinking as well as the development of the
field. This is the onlybook that offers this insight into this
great scholar's work.
