Mind Lab is a research-backed methodology used internationally by more than 2,000,000 students in over 35 countries. The program is so effective that 94% of participating schools incorporate it into their core curriculum, where it is taught alongside science, math and reading.
Mind Lab method rests on solid theoretical foundations and draws from the ideas and studies of several prominent scholars and researchers.
The philosopher John Dewey, at the start of the 20th century recognized the urgent need to transform education into a more democratic practice. In "Constructivist Theory," Dewey claimed that the child must be placed at the center of the learning process and be allowed to learn from experience, and not just from theoretical and academic resources. He viewed games as an excellent educational tool for achieving this goal.
Professor Reuven Feuerstein pioneered the popular educational method "Instrumental Enrichment" and the crucial concept of "Mediated Learning." Feuerstein stresses the central role of teaching thinking processes (as opposed to the teaching of content) with the aid of a mediating, enabling environment, a concept that is espoused and applied by Mind Lab.
Professor Howard Gardner developed the "Multiple Intelligences" theory. This theory depicts the great variance existing between different individuals' personal talents and learning styles and consequently, the flexible teaching approaches that should be applied in order to effectively reach each pupil.
Professor David Perkins stresses the need for teaching thinking processes and emphasizes processes connected to understanding and transference--central concepts of the Mind Lab philosophy.
Professor Robert Sternberg examines the idea of "Successful Intelligences" - those actual expressions and applications of intelligence in real life situations (as opposed to standardized intelligence tests).
