Social intelligence

up being a part of both in groups, out groups, the bully and the bullied, which had great effects on my personality. Schools and family can encourage positive interaction, eliminating most of these issues and impact many of a child’s learning and social development. A study between the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan, distinguish mother’s beliefs that their children’s mathematical achievements are due to effort rather than innate ability, with U.S. mothers opposing the idea, showing effort has minimal…

that intelligence differs when concerned with the social environment and educational opportunities; thus proving that it is not a leading factor to national development. Growing in an social environment promotes intellectual development, which thus brings forth intelligent adults that are more capable of surviving in vast conditions. Even with the different levels of intelligence, it does not give any valid reason as to why it would contribute to the rate of national development. Intelligence…

Mindset Growth mindset is the belief that you can improve upon your abilities through practice and effort, as opposed to a fixed mindset in which one believes their abilities are unchangeable (Dweck, 2006). Students with fixed mindset believe intelligence is static and tend to desire looking smart, therefore they avoid challenges, give up easily, see effort as fruitless, ignore useful feedback, and are threatened by others’ success. Students with a fixed mindset report feeling dumb when they…

Howard Gardner Howard Gardner is known for his theory on multiple intelligences, and his belief that people learn in different ways (Lane, n. d.). Gardner suggests that there are seven types of learners: visual-spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, and logical-mathematical (Lane, n. d.). In 1997, Garden added an eighth intelligence, naturalist (Bennett, 2014). School systems must realize that all children do not learn in the same ways, and teachers must…

Humans are among the most intelligent species on the planet. In just the past 3,000 years we went from sticks and stones to touch screens and drones. With the usage of our intelligence and creativity we curated language and have been using it as a tool for communication. Trying to imagine a world without the use of language, any language, is an impossible task to accomplish. This may be because from the early phases of development we have used language as a means of communication. As a result of…

history and through all decades of art and literature, one thing has been made abundantly clear: Humans do not enjoy oppression. Humanity is consistent in its innate desire to fight any oppressive leader or social behavior that infringes on their rights as an individual. Whether it be through social and political movements or war, humankind has shown that what every individual wants - above all else - is freedom. They crave the freedom to live as they choose, protecting and preserving their…

Lev Vygotsky founded the sociocultural theory. His theory started in the 1930’s and still today is discussed to improve childrens education. This theory has an impact on young children’s social and cultural experiences. He believes that children are always learning, that all children are able to learn from adults who are more advanced and educated than themselves. Sociocultural theory believes the culture of beliefs, morals, traditions, and skills all help a child develop. He believed that…

intellect. Teachers need to identify gifted students and provide them with adequate academic and social challenges. All teachers have multiple responsibilities for meeting the educational needs of all students in their classes, including both students who are disabled and nondisabled. By understanding how students learn to behave, teaches can design and use activities that lead to desirable social and academic behavior. The classroom environment dramatically…

Mainstream psychology is often considered to be factual and objective however it is argued by critical psychologists that research is often influenced by its social, cultural, historical and political context. Critical psychologists have disputed the notion of objective psychology and have identified different levels at which values can be seen to operate within mainstream psychology. In this essay I will critically discuss the extent to which mainstream research has benefited more powerful…

Now first off, intelligence is a broad, and a narrow term at the same time. It depends on who you ask. I personally measure intelligence as one’s ability to do many things with speed and efficiency, not being extremely good at one thing, but moderate at many. But intelligence is measured by schools as how well a student does in their classes. Students who excel in things like math and science tend…
