Happy birthday to Alan Turing!!

I wonder if the creative thinking of the top performers will lead to creative products and ‘Big C’ creativity? @JamesKaufman

What came first the ‘language chicken’ 🐓 or the ‘thought egg’? 🥚 This paper and thread 🧵 does a lovely job of explaining language as an extrapolation of thought rather than vice versa. An important work that deserves credit to the authors.

@AndrewWatsonTTB @AndrewRAConway You inspired me to dig up some of my old slides from when I taught about Gardner's theory and I decided to revisit his original works and write a thread on it: x.com/LukeIRowe/stat…

@LukeIRowe @AndrewRAConway I don’t think he encouraged teachers to do so. Teachers and consultants took the theory and ran; he himself (I believe) did not think such differentiation possible…

Sorry Gardner but my BS detector is going off for this one. No need to differentiate instruction on the basis of Multiple Intelligences if they’re not scientifically valid

14/end 🔔 While Gardner's MI theory offers a compelling narrative, the lack of robust evidence raises serious questions about its practical application. Educators must continue to critically evaluate and demand more solid evidence before revising their teaching methods. #EduChat

13/n🔍 In Gardner’s own words: “Nor, indeed, have I carried out experiments designed to test the theory… I readily admit that the theory is no longer current. Several fields of knowledge have advanced significantly since the early 1980s.” (p.169, 2016) doi.org/10.1017/CBO978…

1/n 🧠 In "Frames of Mind," Gardner proposed multiple intelligences (MI) as independent mental abilities that enable us “to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings” (Gardner, 2011, p. xxviii). #EduChat
