Gardner, Howard. Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. (93.04) I have, since first reading this work, read many reviews of Gardner's work and watched the explosion in popularity of this research. It has most certainly re-shaped my thinking about what I understand to be sound pedagogoical practice. I have read others reviews and concur with the following: " Everyone who interacts with children on any level will find this work priceless. It provides adults with a knowledge base which will facilitate the cultivaion of each child's talent(s). Chapter 13 allows parents to critically reflect on exactly how their child(ren) are being educated. This is crucial, as Gardner forces us to make choices about each individual child's learning environment. Thank you for closing the door on the prevalent "sit down and copy this work without a sound" mentality. Gardner's sensitivity to different forms of intelligence shows respect for the different cultural priorities and values which in essence shape human ability, and form our global village".
