General intelligence factor

A new year has started and with that goals and dreams were established. One which was to learn as much as possible in each of the courses taken this semester. And this class will not be the exception. The usual took place the first day which was go over the syllabus and the typical introduce yourself and what you aspire to the rest of the class. With that being said, I realized that I could relate to most if not all that we all at one point in our lives played or still do play sports. What I…

Over the eight week course period we were able to learn a lot about ourselves. The assigned tasks given were eye opening and revealing. I have discovered various different characteristics about myself that I was unaware I developed over the years. Therefore, I was able to learn a lot about myself. I learned what type of learner I was, who had the most influence on me, and what events has lead me to being the young lady I am today. One of the very first assignment we were assigned was to…

“a set of skills allowing individuals to find and resolve genuine problems they face.” (Miller, 2010) In a typical classroom, teachers tend to focus on verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. Personally, even though I teach PE, in my health classroom I focus on those two intelligences. To make changes and add more personal choices into my classroom I have begun to create choice boards for each unit I teach. We are currently finishing our drug unit and for the concluding…

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…

seeing the difference between the old and new brain theory, as well as some new learning skills, students will be able to see that intelligence can always be changed and improved. A student who is willing to put hard work as well as discipline into their schooling can get whatever grades or diploma they want; despite what they may think or be told about their intelligence levels. An IQ is just a label that can always be changed, this can be done by having a positive attitude, by working…

Not many people know there are multiple ways one can learn new information. Not everyone can receive the information the same way and retain it for future use. Some people are visual learners, aural learners, kinesthetic learners, or learn best by reading and writing the information. The VARK Learning assessment was an interesting tool that informed me of the exact type of learner I am. This assessment placed me into the kinesthetic learner group. This explains many issues I had in the past with…

spaces, causality, and categorization (Martorell, Papalia, Feldman, 2014). In addition, other psychological approaches will be related with the following observations, like Bandura’s beliefs in gender development and Vygotsky’s point of view in intelligence. Child’s Background The child comes from a united family where both parents work full time…

Portrait of a Diverse Learner Reflection Paper Strengths and Weaknesses A learning strength I observed while tutoring Leslie that stood out to me was his high level of learning agility. He came to our tutorial sessions each week eager to learn a new skill. His raw aptitude coupled with his positive attitude made each session a new adventure for him as he learned to use the calculator. His self-awareness, openness to learn new skills, motivation, and ability to apply previously taught…

- What were the results? First of all, I am really happy to see my results are positive. I went to Buchanan Elementary, Baton Rouge to apply my project. I worked with Samantha’s class. Before going there, I was really nervous about this experience. However, I felt really comfortable with children. I started the lesson with a small warm up exercise. I chose ‘the name game’ exercise. I started to game by stepping forward and saying my name with an action. Then I stepped back and asked the student…

My experience in the passport project has shaped my understanding of learning and creativity by helping me to have insight into myself and my learning, to learn to overcome challenges, to set goals to reach certain targets, to think ahead to the future, to research efficiently and to find people and artists that inspire me. All of these things have greatly benefited me over the term and a bit that we completed our project because of the impacts that it has on me in my everyday life. I am finding…
