| Title | Multiple Intelligences debate continues |
| Body | Full article available at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1337-2004Sep6.html?nav= hcmodule Because of a book he wrote 21 years ago, Howard Gardner is both lionized and exploited as one of the most famous educational theorists in the world. His notion of multiple intelligences -- including the idea that musical, athletic and other talents are separate from, but as important as, high SAT scores -- has inspired scores of books, journal articles, conferences and lesson plans for public schools. But his fame has not saved him from criticism. This summer, two university professors accused Gardner, 61, of encouraging elementary school teaching methods, such as singing new words or writing them out with twigs and leaves, for which there is no scholarly evidence of success. Mathews, J. 21 years later, 'Multiple Intelligences' still debated. http:// www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1337-2004Sep6.html?nav= hcmodule (7 Sep. 2004). |
