Social intelligence

I believe that early childhood education is an essential for school readiness. Early childhood education plays an important role in children’s development in cognitive and social skills. At the age of three years old the children begin to develop more rapidly. Children progress in their physical, social, intellectual, and emotional. According to The Urban Child Institute, studies have shown that “from the ages of 0 to 3, a baby’s brain grows to 80% of its adult size and is twice as active as…

"How come education and intelligence of a character must always be offset by his social ineptitude, or condescending attitude toward his 'techno babble?' How come being above the average in some area is so often portrayed as some sort of socially undesirable eccentricity?" (Maciac) Today's television bolsters the idea that individuals who are viewed as "smart" are lesser class citizens. Children's shows on Disney Channel portray an inaccurate view of intellectuals to viewers causing school…

several criteria that one needs to take into consideration. For identification purposes, educators and other professionals no longer solely look at one’s fixed intelligence but other aspects that when stimulated and nurtured can grow a person’s talents whether cognitive, intuitive/creative, or motor/sensory expressions. “Growth of intelligence depends on the interaction between our biological inheritance and our environmental opportunities to use that inheritance” (Clark, 1997, p. 26).…

“Prodigies” tells a story of Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic artist who became famous because of his talented drawings. Being a typical autist, he is reserved, has very low intelligence level but possesses a photographic memory and ability to draw the things he once saw accurately. Yet, Stephen appears to suffer from his disease more than benefit as his talent does not improve in time, and he is not able to care for himself. Savant syndrome is characterized by having one well-developed trait…

Social Constructivism or social learning is another theory that supports the teamwork and competitive features of the app. This theory states that “classroom activity should be reality-based and applicable to the real world.” Noredink already addresses this learning factor is including student interests. The addition of teams/competitions would also support this theory. Social Constructivism also suggests that students learn best…

paper verifying one has graduated from a university can hold a significant amount of leverage over another person’s thirty years of experience. Society has developed to directly relate intelligence to one’s level of schooling. However, in “Blue-Collar Brilliance” Professor Mike Rose opposes the notion of intelligence being measured by levels of education and degrees. After years of close observation, Rose proposes that blue-collar and manual labor occupations offer just as many opportunities for…

important points in chapters nine and ten are learning how intelligence and language are described and measured within the different age ranges of infant, child, adolescence, and adulthood. There are many different theories regarding intelligence and the types of intelligence. Whereas language is discussed in correlation to the nature versus nurture debate comparing universal grammar, environment and how nature and nurture work together.

In the “Multiple Intelligences Assessment,” I scored the highest on self, or intrapersonal, followed by language (linguistic) and social (interpersonal). Like with the “Learning Styles Inventory” test, I was neither surprised nor disappointed to find out my results. I found myself getting excited reading the definition for each intelligence because it perfectly described how I think, how I act, what I enjoy, and what I try to avoid…

can best use to do this. Not all children are equal in how they learn or express the ideas that they learn and it should be our job to help find that method and allow for the child to use it at its fullest potential. Both the ideas of multiple intelligence and the use of children teaching their peers as an explorative community can help blossom this ability to learn and communicate. You hear time and time again “I’m a visual learner.” or “I’m an auditory learner.” That’s probably true, but not…
