one intellectual aspect. I also agree with Gardner when he says that intelligence should never be measured by an IQ test. It is not surprising though to see that the MI theory has faced criticism from both psychologists and educators as it does not seem to be supported by accurate evidence. I do agree with other psychologists when they say that Gardner’s nine different “intelligences” are better off represented as talents‚ skills or abilities. Gardner defines intelligence as: ’the capacity to solve

Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as ’the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting’ (Gardner & Hatch‚ 1989).

With reference to recent literature‚ examine the suggestion that Piaget and Vygotsky differed in their approaches to human development. Initially the study of lifespan development rose due to Darwin’s desire to understand human evaluation (Boyd & Bee‚ 2006).

Vygotsky and Piaget had several similarities and differences on the way they viewed certain developmental concepts. One of the most common was the study of cognitive development.

Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development. Piaget was interested in how intelligence itself changes as children grow which he called genetic epistemology. Genetic epistemology was based on the 19th century biological concept of recapitulation (Piaget was a biologist first whom later trained as a psychologist). It was thought before piaget’s studies that children were merely less competent thinkers than adults. However‚ through his findings‚ Piaget showed

Semenovich Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a fundamental figure in the exploration of “the sociocultural theory.” His ideas played crucial roles in the pedagogical framework of children and education. Thoroughly‚ he examined the sociocultural theory which emphasizes the role in development of cooperative dialogues between children and more knowledgeable members of society. Children learn their culture (ways of thinking and behaving) through these interactions (Berk & Winsler 19). Vygotsky believed that
