"Intelligence is not a static structure, but
an open, dynamic system that can continue
to develop throughout life!"
•
Dr. Reuven Feuerstein's revolutionary words, not yet widely accepted by the
psychological and educational establishments, make an enormous difference in
how we perceive the role of education. If intelligence is modifiable, and if indeed
intelligence can be taught and learned, education has a much greater role than
might have been previously imagined.
