Growing Minds

What does the mind involve? How does intelligence spring from it, differentiating between individuals in understanding and dealing with the world? How does the mind learn and grow over time and how can learning and growth be enhanced by education?_x005F_x000D_ Growing Minds is an interdisciplinary work that seeks to answer these questions through the integration of the main theories relating to the brain and learning – namely the cognitive, developmental and individual difference perspectives. The authors propose an overarching and integrated theory of the developing mind, generating proposals on how this new theory can be applied to educational practice to improve student achievement.
