Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner

4.0

This is an early product of Gardner’s work, but very comprehensive. People often confuse Gardner’s research with the theory of different learning styles, which seem to be a much more basic idea and one that is all to often misunderstood or applied only in superficial, fairly useless ways. This book works hard to communicate a well-rounded understanding of intelligence within individual and cultural contexts. I’m interested in reading his later works if he goes into more detail about application of this understanding in educational contexts. This book broaches that subject with a few hypotheses only.
