Description A comprehensive summary of Howard Gardner's 25 years of research on the theory of multiple intelligences. This book brings together a quarter-century of study since Gardner first introduced his groundbreaking theory, offering his own thoughtful reflections on how the field has evolved. It challenges long-held assumptions about human ability and intelligence, presenting the full scope of a theory that has sparked a revolution in education systems around the world. Over the years, major research projects have tested the ideas behind multiple intelligences theory, and this book serves as the most up-to-date and reliable guide to those findings. It traces the theory's development chronologically, showing how it applies not only in schools but also in the workplace, while also looking ahead to where the theory may go next. Part 1 offers a broad overview of the theory—from a summary of its early formulation to the key questions and critiques raised over the past 25 years—along with the latest research. Part 2 focuses on concrete educational applications, exploring how multiple intelligences theory has been put into practice in real classrooms. Part 3 draws on decades of research to chart new directions for the future of the theory.
