Overview

The book that revolutionized our understanding of human intelligence.

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences has been hailed by educators for decades and applied in hundreds of schools worldwide. In Frames of Mind, Gardner challenges the widely held notion that intelligence is a single general capacity possessed by every individual to a greater or lesser extent. Amassing a wealth of evidence, Gardner posits the existence of eight different intelligences, each as important as the next, that comprise a unique cognitive profile for each person. In this updated edition, the author reflects on thirty years of work on Multiple Intelligences theory and practice.

    Sebastian W. - 7 years 6 months ago

    Gardner's data, assimilated from his broad reading across fields as well as his hands-on experience in various educational programs, presents multiple examples of what flourishing looks like when seen as a form of intelligence encouraged in a child. Gardner contends that there are many kinds of intelligence, not just one as had been commonly accepted throughout the 20th century up until the end of the 1970's. Gardner does not merely lay out what these intelligences do and do not have in common, nor does he stop after having given a firm understanding of what they look like at their high capacities, but he then moves on to explain how acknowledging and regarding them as separate from one another can be beneficial in educational settings. Reading Frames of Mind and its subsequent additional companion volumes is rewarding, is insightful, it can be useful, and it is important in. understanding the major turning-point in education psychology and pedagogical theory that took place as the 20th century came to a close.
