Unfortunately, educators (and I worked in the schools for 10 years) often follow faddish/trendy ideas that have little empirical support. I think a key contribution of Gardner's work is support for the only one law in psychology...the law of individual differences. Unfortunately, his model of individual differences does not pass muster empirically.Kevin McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945625852793502565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11327954.post-86470121893821955012007-12-29T17:02:00.000-08:002007-12-29T17:02:00.000-08:00As an educator, I have often felt in the minority ...As an educator, I have often felt in the minority when I have criticized Gardner's work. There are a plethora of books on how to incorporate the "multiple intelligences" into daily curriculum. Gardner's work seems trite and formulaic when applied to a classroom; an easy fix to complex issues faced by teachers in the classroom. I have never been an advocate of the easy fix. It is so refreshing to hear that others share my views. Gardner's work afforded educators an opportunity to look beyond the traditional ways of presenting information to our students; to open our minds to other ways to engage students. However, to claim that these are intelligences, seems beyond the pale.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995114369096034972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11327954.post-62653087976018072412007-12-29T15:43:00.000-08:002007-12-29T15:43:00.000-08:00Mr Jensen has the upper hand in most debates by be...Mr Jensen has the upper hand in most debates by being the only psychologist with a cool nickname :DgroupThinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892869032105015149noreply@blogger.com
