Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons In Theory And Practice

The most complete account of the theory and application of Multiple Intelligences available anywhere. Howard Gardner's 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, which suggests that there are multiple types of intelligence, ranging from musical intelligence to self-understanding. This book distills nearly three decades of research on Multiple Intelligences theory and practice, covering its central arguments, developments since 1983, global applications, workplace implications, current educational climate, new brain research, and more.
