Pigeon intelligence

Education doesn’t make you Brilliant The essay “Blue Collar Brilliance by author Mike Rose argued that intelligence should not be associated with formal education. When Mike was younger he would go to work with his mother Rose Meraglio. She worked as a waitress at a coffee shop and family restaurant. He would sit at the table and observe everything his mother was doing. She was on her feet for hours at a time, multitasking, remembering customer’s orders, and solving problems after problem.…

What changed the way we think? Kaitlyn Huff HIST 110-07 Professor Geraghty October 15, 2014 The changing of the human intellect during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries can be contributed to multiple aspects that were seen during those time periods. There are three aspects in particular that can be said to have the most significant role in changing the way individuals of those times thought and their daily life, in general - royal societies, coffee-houses, and salons.…

Course: EDP2222 Activities for active engagement of learning According to the constructivist’s theory, in order for meaningful learning to occur, the students need to be making connections to their world (Churchill et al, 2012). Students are interested according to Fisher (2005) in maths that relates to their needs. The lesson plan includes ideas such as lengths of a table, how to use a ruler and a YouTube clip that explains the history of measurement, relating measurement to the real…

I was raised in a household in which intelligence and education were greatly valued. I was homeschooled until 6th grade and my mother, who served as my teacher, was never lenient on my brother or me. She worked us harder than a normal teacher likely would have. My mother often stressed how important knowledge was. Since I can remember, I have loved learning new things. Once I learned to read, I read everything in sight, with a dictionary at my side to look up words I did not yet know. Unlike…

divided, Socrates and John Stuart Mill both agree on the contrast between high and low quality pleasures in relation to the good life. Mill believes that a person with a high level of intelligence has higher standards of what makes them happy compared to a lower intelligence person. A person with low intelligence can be satisfied with lower quality pleasures and they could consider themselves happy, but Mill argues…

One of the main criteria I would use to evaluate the suitability of a specific simulation is whether or not the simulation involves higher order thinking. One of the traits that “differentiates gifted students from their age peers is their exceptional capacity to perceive information and use it productively” (Parks, 2009, p. 261). As a teacher, we are “challenged to select or design instruction to teach reasoning processes that are abstract, sometimes requiring a technical understanding of…

Learning can be defined as; “The relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behaviour due to experience” (Mayer, 1982, p.1040). New theories of learning are leading to very different approaches to the design of curriculum, teaching, and assessment. Theorist B.F. Skinner adopted and developed the scientific philosophy known as radical behaviourism. He distinguished two kinds of behaviour; respondent behaviour which is elicited by a known stimulus and operant behaviour which is not…

The journey of learning more about myself and understanding who I am as a person has been an upward climb. Most times it felt as though learning who I am was similar to attempting to ride a unicycle up the side of a steep mountain, with rocks rolling down along the way knocking me off of my path. However, as I have examined and reflected on who I am as a learner and how I learn, I have been able to gain a greater understanding of who I am as a person. This paper will examine the growth that I…
