Cognitive psychology is defined as the study of higher mental processes including attention, language use, memory, perception, problem-solving, creativity, and thinking. It’s within the cognitive level of analysis of psychology that the debate of intelligence centers. Possibly the most philosophical and ethically integrated subject of psychology, I find intelligence, its evaluation, and its relationship with achievement an infatuating area to study. Since the conception of the discipline, the…

This research traces back to Howard Gardner. Gardner (2011) suggests that humans process information and make judgments in very personalized ways. Meaning is constructed based upon our different experiences and vantage points. Individual learners may learn best through visual, auditory, or…

Intro: Art Education Philosophy Ideas of Art Education, being the fantastic teacher and creating the perfect classroom are centered around one thing; the student. I believe art education is an essential for every child’s wholesome development because it encompasses tangibility, expression, interpretation, inquiry, diversity, and connections.

In order to develop lasting bonds with students, teachers must show that they are caring individuals. A teacher is also responsible in making sure students develop a sense of caring and respect for others as well. Ramsey provides us with early childhood social goals that relate to multicultural education because they become a foundation for children’s capacities to connect with the natural environment, the larger social world, and issues within social justice (Ramsey, 2004). These goals usually…

I am currently working as a Kindergarten special education instructional assistant. The classroom was arranged by the head teacher with the assistance of the instructional assistants who work one on one with the students in the classroom. There are areas in the classroom that I believe encourage student learning, while there are other areas in which I would reorganize when I receive my own classroom. The classroom environment and arrangement of the furniture and materials follows the theories of…

Passer and Smith (2015) described intelligence to be defined by culture. So if culture is an underlying factor of intelligence it can become a problematic issue when assessing Indigenous Australians. Gardener’s multiple intelligence theory, along with Charles Spearman’s g factor theory and Lewis Terman Standford-Binet scales are all underlying theories which all address the same issues in the accuracy of assessments. Literature suggest that language, literacy skills, education and cultural norms…

Using a range of sources such as academic and reflective journals, wider reading and my own personal perspective it will provide a broad view to critically evaluate factors that are important for a teacher and learner. Firstly, one factor that I believe is important is a teacher’s values, attitudes, beliefs and expectations.

The plan was not made to make a mess. The plan was not made to ostracize people. The plan was made to help improve the knowledge of people, maybe even help find one’s place in the world, so where did the plan fail?
