Intelligence gathering disciplines

Growth mindset and Fixed mindset. The concept of a growth mindset is believing that one can develop one’s own intelligence by enhancing with effort and the pursuit of new knowledge to improve performance (Dweck, 2006). These students tend to succeed by embracing challenges and persevering in the face of setbacks. People with a fixed mindset believe that each person has a set amount of intelligence, and judge effort as the disappointing sign that one is not good, leading them to often self-…

“The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.” Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson described eight stages of development. Berger (2014) stated that each characterized by a particular challenge, or developmental crisis.” Pg. 41 unlike Sigmund Freud, “Erikson’s stages emphasize family and culture, not sexual urges.” and, “Erikson recognizes adult development, with three stages after adolescence.” Berger (2014).Pg. 41 Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development include…

The focus of my lesson plan was on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. I chose to use this theory due to an article by Abdul Panhwar on Vygotsky’s theory and how a child’s intellectual development can be broken down into two stages. Stage one is that children learn through communicating and interacting with other people. Stage two is that children are able to strengthen what they have learned by themselves after having help from peer collaboration (Panhwar, 2016, p. 183-184). Therefore, according…

Mentorship is an individual formative relationship in which a more experienced or more proficient individual serves to guide a less experienced or less educated individual. They can be adult as well as young; however, they have a certain zone of skills and abilities. The key objective of this task is to concentrate on the procedure of managing a student for whom concern is upraised about their practice. The present paper will take a gander at diverse learning requirements and styles of learning…

A task or skill is seen as ordinary only when someone who is classified as “normal” is performing it. That same exact task or skill is then seen as extraordinary when someone who is “different” or disabled is performing it. In the article “False Positive” by Beth Haller, she claims that, “Society holds few expectations for people with disabilities - so anything they do becomes amazing”. Haller strongly believes that in today’s society a person who is disabled is set to be amazing no matter what…

Human intelligence is the intellectual abilities of humans, marked by high cognition, motivation, and self-awareness (Tirri & Nokelainen, 2011). Intelligence allows humans to apply cognitive abilities to many different functions such as learning, communicating, reasoning and it also enables humans to experience and think (Solomon et al., 2015). Humans have relatively large brains, approximately three times larger than those of their closest primate relatives, and possess cognitive skills not…

There is an infinite number of superpowers one could think of. Each one of them have their own advantages and drawbacks. If I could only have one of them, why wouldn't I choose them all? Omnipotent means to be all-powerful, just like God. This would allow me to have all of the possible superpowers merged into one. Being able to make anything into reality is the best superpower because it can make any dream true and it could be used to prevent bad events from occurring. However, there is a twist…

educated they create a better life for themselves. Children who are given the opportunity to learn in a sustainable environment are able to be successful later on in life. My teaching philosophy includes the use of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and interpersonal intelligence, I believe learning should take place in a positive and open minded environment. Children learn the best when they have no stress or pressures at home. However, for some students, this “perfect” environment…

Two days after inputting my final grades for the spring 2015 term, I headed to the outskirts of Portland, to attend the Pacific Northwest Great Teaching Seminar (2016). Carefully tucked inside my tote bag was the homework: bring a written summary of a classroom triumph and a classroom failure. The first day triumph workshop was energizing and fun, and we all enjoyed sharing our lessons. The next day, we gathered in one of the estate’s beautiful rooms and sat in a circle. The instructions were…
