It is difficult to grasp multiple-intelligences theory and implement its implications effectively. MI is not a quick fix.

Gardner, Howard – International Schools Journal, 1996
Debunks several myths that have arisen in schools' misapplication of the author's multiple intelligences (MI) theory. Argues that seven intelligences do not require seven different intelligence tests. An intelligence is a construct, not a domain, discipline, or learning style. MI theory is empirical and compatible with general intelligence theory.…

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences ignores certain assumptions about the nature, display, and development of intelligence.

Teachers should organize curricula around the child,…

Gardner, Howard – NASSP Bulletin, 1996
Discusses misconceptions that half-informed educators might have about the author's theory of multiple intelligences.

Theories can have infinite numbers of possible…

Jensen, Eric – Educational Leadership, 2000
Although neuroscience has much to offer teaching and learning conceptualizations, educators must be cautious about applying lab research to classrooms. Brain research seems hazy, confusing, and contradictory because it is new. Myths about synapses, low-stress learning, memorization, enrichment, and learning styles are debunked. (MLH)
