Howard Gardner est un scientifique cognitif et un éducateur qui a remis en question les notions traditionnelles d'intelligence. Sa théorie des intelligences multiples suggère qu'il existe un éventail d'intelligences distinctes, plutôt qu'une seule capacité générale. Gardner explore comment cette théorie peut être appliquée à l'éducation pour mieux s'adapter aux capacités et aux styles d'apprentissage individuels. Son travail se concentre sur le développement de parcours éducatifs personnalisés et sur la compréhension de ce qui constitue un travail excellent et éthique. Gardner enquête également sur la nature de la confiance dans la société contemporaine et sur les implications éthiques des médias numériques.

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
Dan Ariely, Boris Cyrulnik, Antonio Damasio, Howard Gardner, Daniel Kahneman, Edgar Morin, Tobie Nathan et bien d'autres encore parlent de la connerie humaine. Un monde sans connards est possible ! En fait, non. Désolés. Mais ça n'empêche pas d'y réfléchir. La connerie, chacun la connaît : nous la supportons tous au quotidien. C'est un fardeau.

Mieux la comprendre pour mieux la combattre, tel est l'objectif de ce livre, même si nous sommes vaincus d'avance. Des psys de tous les pays, mais aussi des philosophes, sociologues et écrivains, nous livrent ici leur vision de la connerie humaine. C'est une première mondiale. Et peut-être une dernière, profitez-en !

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
We live in a time of vast changes. And those changes call for entirely new ways of learning and thinking. In Five Minds for the Future: Howard Gardner defines the cognitive abilities that will command a premium in the years ahead: the disciplinary mind—mastery of major schools of thought (including science, mathematics, and history) and of at least one professional craft the synthesizing mind—ability to integrate ideas from different disciplines or spheres into a coherent whole and to communicate that integration to others the creating mind—capacity to uncover and clarify new problems, questions, and phenomena the respectful mind—awareness of and appreciation for differences among human beings and human groups the ethical mind—fulfillment of one’s responsibilities as a worker and citizen World-renowned for his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner takes that thinking to the next level in this book, drawing from a wealth of diverse examples to illuminate his ideas. Concise and engaging, Five Minds for the Future will inspire lifelong learning in any reader as well as provide valuable insights for those charged with training and developing organizational leaders—both today and tomorrow.
The most complete account of the theory and application of Multiple Intelligences available anywhere Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence, known as Multiple Intelligences theory, has changed the face of education. Tens of thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of this powerful notion, that there is not one type of intelligence but several, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding. Multiple Intelligences distills nearly three decades of research on Multiple Intelligences theory and practice, covering its central arguments and numerous developments since its introduction in 1983. Gardner includes discussions of global applications, Multiple Intelligences in the workplace, an assessment of Multiple Intelligences practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning, and much more.
The book presents a unique framework developed by a prominent Harvard psychologist for effectively influencing change, whether in personal relationships, societal issues, or corporate environments. It delves into the psychological principles that underpin persuasion and offers practical strategies for shifting perspectives and behaviors.
