General intelligence factor

My parents are kinda cool. They used to give me everything I’d ask for and something I 'd always want is books. I 'd always want them, but I don 't know why because I never actually read them. Instead, I would always look at the pictures in the books and tell my parents what the book was about based on what the pictures it showed. I’d tell them I know what it’s about because I read it, but, the thing is, I never read any of it. I only lied because that was the only way for them to get me more…

attempts in learning. A mindset is what every student has and it shows how they are gaining knowledge or intelligence in classes. Two mindsets are in place in school: a fixed mindset where students are afraid of challenges and going further with learning because they don’t have the ability to become intelligent, and a growth mindset where students believe learning is the key way to gain intelligence and will take on challenges. After some consideration, I have come to the conclusion…

In the early stages of life a child learns what he should and should not do, and his parents will teach him everything he needs to know. As a that child continues to grow he learns that there is more to life than holding mom’s hand and eating cookies and milk everyday. When a person gets older he begins to take on more challenges and responsibilities. A person needs to realise that life contains an abundance of choices. In order for an individual to be successful they have to know how to make…

For the week 3 discussion I wasn 't aware of the requirements of having to post three separate posts on three different days early in the week and ended up made all the posts in the same day. However, I have been able to make five posts throughout the day from 1:54 am to 10:36 pm. I made my stance clear on the first post that I made, "I believe that raising students ' self-esteem should not be the teachers ' responsibility" (week 3 discussion, May 29, 1:54am) and proceeded to argue for it. I…

platform. This was the primary eye catching learning point due to the fact, myself and many others don’t realize how important voice is for a website and how this is critical for content. Furthermore, I learned building a voice behind a platform has two factors: Audience profile, and subject matter. When writing content, I always tend to write in different styles, which is a bad habit for platforms because the voice is the perception of the brand so it needs to stay constant according to the…

fact that these two psychologists took an interest in the intelligence of others and break it down into a more knowledgeable frame, is outstanding. If you look at the main point of view, intelligence, you will see an interesting correlation to each other’s work and theories, but also, you will see a divergence. I would like to talk about Robert J. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence and Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. There are many interesting concepts, similarities,…

National Teacher Dispositions (CAEP) The First standard states that the teacher should be able to understand that each student is an individual, who has different way of consuming information and digesting it. Moreover, by using different methods of teaching for different individuals, the teacher can increase learning ability for a particular child. The standard states that because such aspects as cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas may vary for every student, the…

I am an adept learner. My left brain dominate and I can work well in groups and without one but I prefer working in groups it helps me focus on what we are doing in class and I can ask for help from people if I halted to a stop somewhere and I can help other people if they need help in the group. I am a very huge talker. I love to talk about tons of stuff like math science biology writing class what books I read. I cannot bear the silence. If can not hear something typing or moving like music…

When we conceptualize about learning, in a broad sense, the focus tends to be placed on understanding and retention in a normal calm setting. But what happens when stress, fear or pressure is added? How is the learning process affected? That very question sparked my curiosity in understanding how we biologically react and perform under stress. Michael Mendl (1999) outlines that when we are faced with threatening or challenging stimuli our cognitive functioning is directly affected. Discussion in…
