Howard Gardner

creative achievement only in a specific problem and a specific environmental situation related to that specific personality. This theory has the similar perspective with Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory. Gardner believes that people have the different interests and abilities, and learn in the different way (Gardner, 2005). People can maximise their learning experiences based on their interests and abilities. The second characteristic, motivational level, described by Weisberg based…

In Chapter five, what caught my interest was reading “The Child’s Theory of Mind”. It refers to awareness of one’s own mental process and those of others. When I read the child’s theory of mind, it was interesting to read about the different stages. Between the age of two to three, children learn a few different steps. Perception, emotions, and desires are the three mental states that children begin to understand. Four to five years of age children come to understand that the mind can…

Introduction I chose this book because of the duality that it has with human development and growth. The idea of emotional intelligence has been compared to Intelligence Quotient (IQ) levels over the past ten years. It has also been challenged by many who only believe that IQ is the most important for developing productive humans. Even still over the past few years, emotional intelligence has been sought out more frequently than not to help develop the human mind in different therapy techniques.…

What defines general intelligence? Most people perceive general intelligence as possessing more book knowledge in verbal and scientific skills. Intelligence breaks down into specific categories.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Cellphones Nowadays, we can’t imagine a world without constant, instantaneous, communication with others via cellphone. Cellphones have become an essential asset in our daily lives, providing us with easy and fast accessibility to unlimited information, making personal experience and face-to-face interactions seem pointless to many. In contrast, people have started to live their lives through their cellphone; allowing other’s pictures, blogs, and opinions to…

Throughout my primary and secondary education, I was classed as dyslexic. I was assessed for dyslexia when I started university and then I discovered that I was not in fact dyslexic. The fact that I spent 10 years of my life classed as dyslexic should clearly illustrate just how poorly my intelligence was assessed in the early stages of my education. I was never actually assessed for dyslexia in the early stages of my education, it was just a term that was attached to me because I was a…

Jose Deleon Mrs Behrend AP Seminar 2 December 2015 Correlation Between Race and Intelligence When a person looks at another person, are they quick to assume how intelligent they are based on their appearance or race? Some of us may say no but, most of us are all guilty of stereotyping a person based on their race at one point or another. No matter what they have heard from anyone, people should never judge a book by its cover. Assuming someone 's intelligence based on just their race is like…

Introduction Children become bored if a teacher talks continuously for more than 3-5 minutes. It was Abraham Maslow who once said ‘children have the right to learn’ in 1943. I strongly support Abraham Maslow since children are the basket of the future. Since they are our future, it is wise that we pass on our knowledge and experiences of the past unto them. Educating of the young’s at an effective and efficient rate is also…

In the 1980’s Howard Gardner proposed seven different kinds of intelligence. Two of these, interpersonal and intrapersonal, form the basis of emotional intelligence. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand other people. Intrapersonal intelligence is a correlative…

The lamplight shone upon the papers scattered all over the desk. Previously completed homework, worksheets, and quizzes all flew out of order. The alarm beside her bed blinked 11:30 PM. A student of Hillsborough High School, fifteen-year-old sophomore, Diana Voronin, furiously scribbles over her paper and pulls at her hair, trying to solve number five on page fifty-three. Frustration and tears overwhelmed her after half an hour of worrying at the same problem. She became even further irritated…
