Intelligence tests

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…

- 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…

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…
