16. Works and Research Project Zero
Mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines, at the individual and institutional levels
Begun at the Harvard Graduate School in 1967 by the philosopher Nelson Goodman
Aim of improving learning in the Arts through research
Gardner was co-director of this (with David Perkins) from 1972 to 2000

17. History of Project Zero
Building on this research to help create communities of reflective, independent learners
To enhance deep understanding within disciplines
To promote critical and creative thinking
Research is done by human cognitive development and of the process of learning in the arts and other disciplines
The learners are at the center of the educational process, respecting the different ways in which an individual learns at various stages of life
As well as differences among individuals in the ways they perceive the world and express their ideas.
