There are obvious differences between individual’s abilities, and some of these have been
explored by Gardner (1983). He has proposed a Theory of Multiple Intelligences . His work
has received much attention in education and has served to draw attention to the broad
range of differences in human abilities for various kinds of learning and performance. It is
good that schools are recognizing that there are important human capabilities other than the
recall of specific cognitive information so often the only form of learning represented in
multiple-choice tests used commonly in schools and corporations. One reason we
encourage the integration of the broad range of activities represented in our New Model for
Education is to provide opportunities for these other abilities to be represented and
expressed. Nevertheless, we seen the organizing opportunities afforded by associating the
various activities with an explicit knowledge structure as very beneficial. Time will tell if
future research studies will support this claim.
