Originally developed to help students overcome learning obstacles
created by emotional trauma or neurobiological learning
disabilities, Reuven Feuerstein's work is now used in major cities
around the world to support improved thinking and learning by all
students. This book is the most up-to-date summary of his thinking
and includes accessible descriptions of his tools and methods for
cognitive modifiability and mediated learning. With dramatic case
studies throughout the text, Feuerstein and his co-authors define
intelligence as a dynamic force that drives the human organism to
change the structure of thinking in order to answer the needs it
encounters. They describe in detail the specific skills of the
three stages of thinking: input or observation and data-gathering
stage; development or processing stage; and output stage, including
analysis, synthesis, and communication. They show how student
thinking can stall in multiple ways at any of these stages and how
intentional mediation can help students restructure their thinking
and improve their ability to learn. Similarly to cognitive mediated
learning, the authors address mediation of social and emotional
skills that impact learning.
