Summary:
"In this all-new presentation, Howard Gardner brings us up to date on the current state of MI theory. From evolutionary psychology and genetics, to anthropology and the he study of special populations, he reveals the 8 intelligences identified by MI theory--and the empirical criteria used to identify them. Using a computational model, Gardner illustrates how we all possess varying combinations of these '8 computers' and what this means for individuation and pluralization in educational practice. Gardner then demonstrates how intelligence is both heritable and developable--while looking at ways we can nurture multiple intelligences. Here, he illustrates the relationships between intelligence, sensory systems, and learning style--and reveals why there can be no singular MI approach. Turning to the assessment question, Gardner now suggests how to best assess the intelligences and for what purpose. Finally, Gardner will ask us to consider the ethical dimension: 'Intelligence for what?'"--Into the Classroom Media website.
