Howard Gardner ist ein Kognitionswissenschaftler und Pädagoge, der traditionelle Vorstellungen von Intelligenz in Frage gestellt hat. Seine Theorie der multiplen Intelligenzen besagt, dass eine Reihe von unterschiedlichen Intelligenzen existiert, anstatt einer einzigen allgemeinen Fähigkeit. Gardner untersucht, wie diese Theorie in der Bildung angewendet werden kann, um individuellen Fähigkeiten und Lernstilen besser gerecht zu werden. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung personalisierter Bildungswege und auf das Verständnis dessen, was exzellente und ethische Arbeit ausmacht. Gardner befasst sich auch mit der Natur des Vertrauens in der heutigen Gesellschaft und den ethischen Auswirkungen digitaler Medien.

He is one of 10 whose portrait was commissioned by King Charles, and appears in the BBC's Windrush: Portraits of a Generation special. Now published for the first time, this is his stirring life story.
"Howard Gardner's concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and, even earlier, John Dewey. Now in The Disciplined Mind, Gardner pulls together the threads of his previous works in a major new synthesis aimed at parents, educators, and the general public alike. The Disciplined Mind looks beyond such parochial issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what an educated person should be and how such an education can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K-12 education should be to enhance students' deep understanding of truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. With this stance, Gardner transforms the tired debate between "traditionalists" and "progressives."" "In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, could satisfy people's concern for student learning and their widely divergent views of what knowledge and understanding should be."--Jacket
"Gardner's memoir places his work on multiple intelligences within the arc of his academic career, and presents a defense of the scholarly and public value of powerful 'works of synthesis.'"-- Provided by publisher

Scopo di questo libro è dimostrare che il fenomeno "intelligenza" può essere scomposto in una serie finita di abilità umane distinte, di distinte intelligenze: linguistica, musicale, logico-matematica, spaziale, corpo-reo-cinestetica, personale e interpersonale. Caso per caso, Gardner esamina quali siano i componenti e lo sviluppo di ogni particolare forma di intelligenza, gli aspetti neurologici e quelli interculturali. Negando il concetto unitario di intelligenza, Gardner mira tra l'altro a mettere in discussione l'assunto che l'intelligenza possa essere misurata mediante test verbali e a proporre una tecnica capace di applicazioni in campo educativo. Questo libro, che per la sua originalità e vivacità di stile ha ricevuto riconoscimenti in tutto il mondo, ha segnato una svolta negli studi sull'intelligenza, ed è oggi considerato una pietra miliare negli studi sull'apprendimento
