Title: Mind, brain, education: the dynamic "force" of intelligence

Abstract: Developing learning objectives that reflect the idea that intelligence is constituted by an expandable repertoire of abilities, and that therefore it is possible, through personal efforts, to make it increase in an incremental way, is the pedagogic imperative of the XXI century.In fact, intelligence or "adaptive behaviour" is connected to cognitive modifiability and plasticity, which finds a solid neuroscientific base in the ecological plasticity of the brain.Drawing on the idea of intelligence as a modifiable entity, a force that drives the organism to change itself, by sustaining the possibility of teaching intelligence and that human beings may continue to improve their cognitive functioning up to the end of their days, Feuerstein method not only lines up to neuroscientific research, but straight to the laws of Physics.Passing from the analogy that mechanical physics allows us to make among a conception of intelligence as dynamic agent and the physical concept of oscillatory motion, it is possible to come to define intelligence as a physical force able to maximize the future liberty of action, conducting the individual system toward the best of the possible futures.A new pedagogical culture, calling itself to the new methods of cognitive enrichment, to educational neuroscience and incredibly to the laws of physics, emphasizes how academic results and critical thinking must constitute two indispensable outcomes of learning today, for whatever age group.

Title: Mente, cervello, educazione: la "forza" dinamica dell'intelligenza

Abstract: Sviluppare obiettivi d'apprendimento che riflettano l'idea che l'intelligenza sia costituita da un repertorio espandibile di abilità e che quindi sia possibile, attraverso gli sforzi personali, farla aumentare in modo incrementale, è l'imperativo pedagogico del XXI secolo.L'intelligenza o "comportamento adattivo" è infatti connessa alla modificabilità e alla plasticità cognitiva, che trova un solido fondamento neuroscientifico nella plasticità ecologica del cervello.Basandosi su un'idea di intelligenza come entità modificabile, una forza che guida l'organismo a cambiare se stesso, sostenendo la possibilità di insegnare l'intelligenza e che l'essere umano possa continuare a migliorare il proprio funzionamento cognitivo fino alla fine dei suoi giorni, il metodo Feuerstein si allinea non solo alla ricerca neuroscientifica, ma addirittura alle leggi della Fisica. Passando dall'analogia che la fisica meccanica ci consente di fare tra una concezione dell'intelligenza come agente dinamico e il concetto fisico di moto oscillatorio, è possibile arrivare a definire l'intelligenza come forza fisica capace di massimizzare la futura libertà d'azione. Una forza tale da condurre il sistema individuo verso il migliore dei futuri possibili.Una nuova cultura pedagogica, appellandosi ai nuovi metodi di arricchimento cognitivo, alle neuroscienze dell'educazione e incredibilmente alle leggi della Fisica, enfatizza oggi come i risultati accademici e il pensiero critico debbano costituire due esiti irrinunciabili dell'apprendimento, per qualunque fascia d'età.

L'intelligence ou le «comportement adaptatif» est en fait lié à la modification et à la plasticité cognitive, qui trouve un fond de base neuroscientifique solide dans la plasticité écologique de la plasticité écologique du cerveau. Babasant une idée de l'intelligence en tant qu'entité modifiable, une force qui guide le corps à se changer, soutenant la possibilité d'enseigner l'intelligence et que l'être humain peut continuer à améliorer son fonctionnement cognitif jusqu'à la fin de ses jours, la méthode Feurstein s'aligne non seulement sur la recherche neuroscientifique, mais même sur les lois de la physique.En passant de l'analogie que la physique mécanique nous permet de faire entre une conception de l'intelligence en tant qu'agent dynamique et le concept physique du mouvement oscillatoire, il est possible de définir l'intelligence comme une force physique capable de maximiser la liberté d'action future.Une force telle que pour mener le système individuel vers le meilleur avenir possible. Une nouvelle culture pédagogique, faisant appel aux nouvelles méthodes d'enrichissement cognitif, aux neurosciences de l'éducation et incroyablement aux lois de la physique, souligne aujourd'hui comment les résultats académiques et la pensée critique doivent constituer deux résultats essentiels de l'apprentissage, pour tout groupe d'âge.
