Bruner’s and gardner’s theories of childhood

1. By: Dedy Apriyadi and Evi Marfianti

2.  Jerome Bruner was born on October 1, 1915 in New York, to Heman and Rose Bruner, who immigrated from Poland. He received a bachelor's degree in psychology, in 1937 from Duke University. Bruner went on to earn a master's degree in psychology in 1939 and then a doctorate in psychology in 1941 from Harvard University.  Bruner is one of the pioneers of the cognitive psychology movement in the United States.

3. According to Bruner, the child’s cognitive structures mature with age as a result of which the child can think and organize material in increasingly complex ways. Children are also seen as naturally inquisitive, thirsty for knowledge and understanding. The child naturally adapts to its environment and abstract thinking develops through action.

4. The child has little in the way of mental faculties so ‘thinking is a physical action.’ Knowledge is what the child can manipulate or do with movements, for example tying knots, pointing etc. In later life the enactive mode

Today’s young people have never known a world without ubiquitous digital media. Education scholars Howard Gardner – the prolific multiple-intelligences expert – and Katie Davis argue that the constant access to software applications – “apps” – and to online information and communities changes how young people approach the psychological challenges of “identity, intimacy and creativity.” Some of their conclusions seem mundane, but many of their findings offer substantial and surprising insights into evolving adolescent psychology. getAbstract recommends this study to anyone marketing to youth, to parents and educators, to software developers, and to young people themselves, whether they read it on paper or online (we’ve got an app for that).

“Digital Natives”

Today’s young people are “digital natives” – they’ve spent their whole lives in a world of digital media and can barely imagine life without mobile phones or the Internet. Has growing up in a digital world affected their “thought processes, personalities, imaginations and behaviors”? How do they differ from “digital immig

Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons in Theory and Practice

March 21, 2011

Working on a daily basis with children who have been diagnosed with deficits—problem learners—I’m attracted to educational theory which holds that individuals are amalgam of unique characteristics. Strengths as well as weaknesses.

My conception of Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences played into that attraction. School is in large part based on psychometrically determined intelligence quotients and the ability to apply intelligence to written language and mathematics. Stretching that view a bit might allow kids who are academically unsuccessful to see that they have capabilities that can be realized with effort, and allow society to make use of unrecognized potential.

After reading ‘Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons,’ I find my conception was fairly accurate, but I remain confused about how to translate theory into practice. I’m also more skeptical about the theory itself, while still agreeing with Gardner that we need ‘to nurture all of the varied human intelligences.’

It’s interesting t
