This book brings together the main strands of research about intelligence. Citing new discoveries from the learning sciences, the authors argue that adults often make too many assumptions about the way childrens' minds operate. Intelligence is learnable, they say, and teachers can develop strategies to boost pupils’ mind power.
Through the course of the book the authors unpick what the different facets of intelligence might be, what the evidence for each is, and how teachers can use these findings to better understand and develop their pupils' learning experiences.
Each chapter includes a tool for teachers to use in classroom to help their pupils learn, such as the jigsaw technique, the split-screen lesson, and the Person-Plus Tool Kit.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
