The Disciplined Mind: Beyond Facts and Standardized Tests, the K–12 Education That Every Child Deserves
Product Description
Author(s): Howard Gardner
Media: Softcover
Description: In this—the softcover edition of The Disciplined Mind: What All Students Should Understand—Howard Gardner envisions an educational system that will help younger generations rise to the challenges of the future, while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. He argues that, in contrast to the fact-based, standardized-test model that has gripped both policy-makers and the public, K–12 education should enhance a deep understanding of three principles: truth, beauty, and goodness. Gardner explores how teaching students three subjects—the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust—would illuminate the nature of truth, beauty, and morality.
