This book is the most up-to-date summary of his thinking and includes accessible descriptions of his tools and methods for cognitive modifiablilty and mediated learning. With dramatic case studies throughout the text, Feuerstein and his co-authors define intelligence as a dynamic force that drives the human organism to change the structure of thinking in order to answer the needs it encounters. They describe in detail the specific skills of the three stages of thinking: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Input or observation and data-gathering stage, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Development or processing stage, and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Output stage, including analysis, synthesis, and communication. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey show how student thinking can stall in multiple ways at any of these stages and how intentional mediation can help students restructure their thinking and improve their ability to learn. Similarly, the authors address mediation of social and emotional skills that impact learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new book from an educational icon and his colleagues will inform the work of any educator seeking to improve student achievement in their school or district.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reuven Feuerstein, Rafael S.
