Can We Teach Intelligence
This book provides a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of Reuven Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment Programme. Combining innovative and traditional experimental techniques, this text analyses both teacher and pupil outcomes on a wide range of issues including abilities, accomplishments and behavioural characteristics. The implications of the study are set against theoretical and practical issues involved in other popular intellectual skills training programmes. “Real world” concerns that have been largely ignored by research literature are addressed, as are their effects on the teaching of thinking skills.
