"Intelligence, Instruction, and Assessment" shows how modern
theories of intelligence can be directly applied by educators to
the teaching of subject matter, regardless of the age of the
students or the content being taught. It is intended primarily for
teachers at all levels--elementary, secondary, tertiary--who want
to apply in their classrooms what we know about intelligence. The
focus is not on modifying students' intelligence, per se, but on
increasing their disciplinary knowledge and understanding. Hence,
this book will help teachers learn how they can teach more
effectively what they are already teaching. The assumption is that
what teachers care most about is how they can improve upon what
they are already doing, and how they can learn what they need to do
in order to be more effective in their work.
The contributors are well known for their work on intelligence and
education. Each chapter includes an accessible explanation of the
author's theory of intelligence, and discusses the implications of
that theory both for instruction and for assessment. The book is
international in scope, reflecting both American and European
perspectives.
Anyone interested in knowing how modern theories of intelligence
can be applied to education will want to read this
book--particularly teachers and other education specialists, as
well as developmental psychologists, cognitive psychologists, and
philosophers with an interest in applying psychological theory to
classroom practice. It will serve well as a text for courses on
educational psychology, intelligence, cognition and instruction,
and foundations of teaching.
