THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES The Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences was developed by a psychologist Howard Gardner in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. it speculates the individuals have eight or more relatively independent intelligences. The eight identified intelligences include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal
What is intelligence? Can true intelligence even be measured? The theory is that certain tests can measure such intelligence and intellectual achievement. Testing in education and physically, is an attempt to measure a person’s knowledge, or other characteristics in a systematic way. Also, teachers give test to find the certain abilities students possess and tell whether they have learned the subject (“Testing”181). Yet, the question is do these test always always show accurate results? Most tests
Standardized intelligence testing has been one of psychology’s ultimate achievements. “Intelligence tests are psychological tests that are designed to measure a variety of mental functions, such as reasoning, comprehension, and judgment.” ("Intelligence tests," n.d.) They can help diagnose knowledgeable disabilities or measures a person’s knowledgeable potential. Alfred Binet was the first French Psychologist who created the first intelligence test in the 1900s. Then after, in the late 1800s, Henry
Theory of Cognitive Development The cognitive theory of development is the human intelligence enhancement of an individual throughout their life-span. There are four stages that are involved in the intellectual development of an individual during his or her life. Complexity and abstraction are evident with increase throughout the cognitive development theory of any normal person. The four stages of the cognitive development theory comprise of sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and
children which to this day still influences many educators, schools and communities. His theory explored the nature and development of human intelligence and in particular how children construct an understanding based on the world around them. Piaget’s theory is more commonly known as the “developmental stage theory” and he has distinguished nature of intelligence based on four stages in which children are assembled into based on age and ability. Additionally, Piaget believed that language, knowledge
I am drawn by Aristotle’s saying everyone is born with a clean slate. It’s only over the period influenced by factors of inborn genetic coding, environment and upbringing molds the person to be. The physiological stages of development in our life process are the same across, while it’s the psychological factor that makes a difference in a person’s development. I have had the opportunity of travelling to several countries and have met families from different race and culture. I am fascinated to observe
A self-assessment is not an easy task; a person needs a lot of insight to do it. However, my partner’s suggestions and positive criticisms helped me to have better judgment about my performance on the WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition) administration. Many aspects involve the administration of the WISC-V, and it requires training and practice to avoid mistakes during the administration that are likely to trigger errors in the children’s responses or even errors in
Communication creates abilities to speak to others. Many different languages that help determine the many aspects within a culture such as ethnicity, religious beliefs, and shared values. Today, having the ability to understand culture can create bonds between cultures. This allows many different ethnicities and races around the world to communicate with one another. The purpose of this paper is show how languages influence a culture, the uniqueness of the Japanese culture, different idioms of the
By 'gifted ', we usually refer to people with high Intelligence Quotient (IQ). To define the term more specifically, the Education Commission Report No.4 published in 1990 set out the factors for assessing whether a student is considered gifted. 'Gifted children ' are those who show exceptionally achievement or potential in one or more of the factors. Over the years, several thousand students coming from different places have been nominated as gifted. The report also mentioned that 20000 students
Intelligence is a complex topic. Howard and Sternberg have been quite successful in helping spread the knowledge about the meaning of intelligence and application of this knowledge to education. There is no clear agreement as to what constitutes IQ or how to measure it. There is an extensive and continually growing collection of research on the topic. Intelligence is a combination of the ability to learn: this includes all kind of formal and informal learning, pose problem: recognizing problem situations
