This research aims to develop an instructional model using advanced laboratory equipment (ALE) based on collective intelligence attributes that can be applied to the scientifically-gifted students. The developed GI-ALE model is defined by introducing the principles of the group investigation (GI) model to the existing ALE instructional model based…

The studies described here are the first in a series of investigations of the teaching-learning process based on Kurt Lewin's B-P-E paradigm (learning outcomes are a result of the interactive effects of different kinds of students and different kinds of teaching approaches). (JA)

This pamphlet examines the limitations of traditional identification strategies as they are applied to children from minority and nontraditional cultural backgrounds, and then suggests more effective alternatives. Conventional group tests are criticized for not providing a sufficient basis for addressing students' needs with regard to enrichment.…

Proposes a new paradigm for teaching and learning based on the concepts of contexualized multiple intelligences (CMIs) and concepts and processes of triplization, including globalization, localization, and individualization. Implications of the new paradigm for changing curriculum, pedagogy, and general educational reform are drawn. (DB)

This article notes the failures of traditional deficit models of learning disabilities and considers, instead, possibilities of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. It summarizes findings on talents of students labeled learning disabled, evidence of their abilities, implications of these for schools, and preliminary recommendations…

This article begins by presenting the theory of successful intelligences and data in support of it, then shows how to implement the model in schools and presents data in support of its success in school implementation, and finally relates the theory of successful intelligence to other models of gifted education. (Contains references.) (CR)

This article builds a case for generating a new metaphor for teacher education that will sustain and nourish teacher intelligence. This intelligence requires that teacher educators prepare their students to be highly sensitive to dynamic classroom relations, to be aware of their positions as teachers, and to develop purposeful educational…

This monograph examines three approaches to intelligence that include cognitive processing components and relates each to assessment and interventions with students having reading disabilities. The first, Sternberg's Triarchic theory of intelligence (1985), includes three subtheories, contextual, experiential, and componential. The second, the…

Many research studies which deal with the teaching of economics at the college level conclude that different teaching methods do not lead to very different results in terms of student achievement. This paper suggests that one reason student achievement may fail to demonstrate the superiority of one teaching method over another is that achievement…
