Multiple Intelligences: The Theory In Practice, A Reader

Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence is changing the face of education today. In the ten years since the publication of his seminal __Frames of Mind__ , thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications of __Multiple Intelligences__ (MI) theory—the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in understanding oneself. __Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice__ brings together previously published and original work by Gardner and his colleagues at Project Zero to provide a coherent picture of what we have learned about the educational applications of MI theory from projects in schools and formal research over the last decade.

Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. The most complete account of the theory and application of Multiple Intelligences available anywhere. Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence, known as Multiple Intelligences theory, has changed the face of education. Tens of thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of this powerful notion, that there is not one type of intelligence but several, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding.Multiple Intelligences distills nearly three decades of research on Multiple Intelligences theory and practice, covering its central arguments and numerous developments since its introduction in 1983. Gardner includes discussions of global applications, Multiple Intelligences in the workplace, an assessment of Multiple Intelligences practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning, and much more.

MI theory - the notion that there exists a range of separate human capacities - has been widely explored since its promulgation ten years ago in Gardner's "Frames of Mind".
