Una mente sintética: Memorias del creador de la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples (Contextos)
A lo largo de su carrera, Gardner se ha interesado por la mente humana en general, y por las mentes de creadores y líderes en concreto. Ahora, al reflexionar sobre la suya propia, concluye que posee una «mente sintética» que le ha conferido la habilidad de analizar experiencias y datos procedentes de un amplio abanico de disciplinas y perspectivas. Gardner plantea que la mente sintética es especialmente valiosa en los tiempos que corren, y propone formas de cultivar una capacidad que probablemente sea exclusivamente humana.
En esta singular autobiografía, Gardner reflexiona sobre su propio desarrollo intelectual y sus revolucionarias aportaciones, al tiempo que repasa su evolución desde aquel niño enamorado de los libros que fue hasta convertirse en el renombrado profesor de Harvard que es, pasando también por sus épocas de universitario ambicioso y de estudiante de posgrado desilusionado.

About the author
Howard Gardner
143 books676 followersHoward Gardner is the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He also holds positions as Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero. Among numerous honors, Gardner received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981. He has received honorary degrees from 26 colleges and universities, including institutions in Bulgaria, Chile, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, and South Korea. In 2005 and again in 2008, he was selected by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines as one of the 100 most influential public intellectuals in the world. The author of 25 books translated into 28 languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be adequately assessed by standard psychometric instruments.
During the past two decades, Gardner and colleagues at Project Zero have been involved in the design of performance-based assessments; education for understanding; the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and pedagogy; and the quality of interdisciplinary efforts in education. Since the middle 1990s, in collaboration with psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and William Damon, Gardner has directed the GoodWork Project-- a study of work that is excellent, engaging, and ethical. More recently, with long time Project Zero colleagues Lynn Barendsen and Wendy Fischman, he has conducted reflection sessions designed to enhance the understanding and incidence of good work among young people. With Carrie James and other colleagues at Project Zero, he is also investigating the nature of trust in contemporary society and ethical dimensions entailed in the use of the new digital media. Among new research undertakings are a study of effective collaboration among non-profit institutions in education and a study of conceptions of quality, nationally and internationally, in the contemporary era. In 2008 he delivered a set of three lectures at New York's Museum of Modern Art on the topic "The True, The Beautiful, and The Good: econsiderations in a post-modern, digital era."

Me gusta cómo va relacionando hitos, personas, intereses de su vida y eso le lleva a decidir su trayectoria profesional. Mola o relacionado que está con la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples.
Aún así, mucho texto XD. LO SÉ, son sus memorias, lo pone en la portada.
