Exam 2 Flashcards
How is intelligence defined
G-factor and multiple intelligences
g-factor approach
“generalized intelligence”
- can be measured across multiple domains
- results can be used to measure IQ
Gardner Multiple Intelligence
- no one factor can be generalized across multiple domains
- His theory had a huge impact during the 90’s. His theory changed the way we look at intelligence.
Gardner Multiple Intelligence Components
- Logical-Mathematical
- Musical
- Interpersonal
- Naturalist
- Existential
- Linguistic
- Spatial
- Intrapersonal
- Bodily-Kensthetic
Which one of Gardner’s intelligences have had the most impact?
Logical Mathematical/ Linguistics.
Criticisms of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences?
- Multiple intelligences (types) are not independent demonstrations of intelligence as his theory suggest.
- Gardner hasn’t provided clear operational definitions for some of the intelligences
Gardner’s Impact
Research on actual educational strategies that came out of theory have research support.
Gardner’s Impact and the application for education
provide multiple way to access content
- Provide multiple ways to demonstrate knowledge
- inform instructions with detailed knowledge of a student’s specific strengths need and areas for growth
Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
Three types of intelligence but they are more contextualized.
Practical, Creative and Analytical
Components of Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
Metacomponents: higher-order executive processes (plan, monitor, evaluate) example: choosing a topic for a project.
Knowledge- acquisition components: learning the skills you need, gathering information you need
Performance components: doing the tasks you planned
Sternberg Triarchic Theory
“Practical”
navigate everyday surroundings. More about applying my knowledge to navigate my everyday surroundings. E.g., child learning about fractions and then asked to bake a recipe but ½ it. At dinner with 5 friends split bill 5 ways. Book reports can be used across all 3 intelligences
Sternberg Triarchic Theory
“Creative Intelligence”
using your existing knowledge and skills to create or discover or innovate or design something new. E.g., finding a new solution to a common problem. Book report continue the story/alternative endings
Sternberg Triarchic Theory
“Analytical”
emphasized on standard IQ test, in most of the curriculum. This intelligence is most emphasized in schools. Ability to acquire or store information, retain or retrieve information, plan ahead, solve familiar problems. Book report compare and contrast two characters etc.
What test Sternberg create to predict GPA
Sternberg Triarchic Abilities Test (STAT); practical STAT scores predicted GPA. Analytical/creative intelligence scores did not predict GPA. One would think analytical intelligence would be one to predict GPA
Spearman Intelligence
“g-factor”
Charles Spearman developed his two-factor theory of intelligence using factor analysis. His research not only led him to develop the concept of the g factor of general intelligence, but also the s factor of specific intellectual abilities.
legal requirements for accommodation of special needs children
Least Restrictive Placement: requires that a special needs child be placed in as normal setting as possible
Individualized Educational Program (IEP)specifies goals, objectives and detailed plans to improve student’s achievement
-written by a team
-updated annually
504 Plan- not an IEP for students without a clinical mental disability e.g., ADHD
