Assessing Theories of Intelligence 7th Period by Patty Weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv en-us 2017-12-13 12:28:18 UTC 2019-10-03 16:48:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/earth.jpg Directions patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/365974164 One table group per topic.
 
First, describe each theory.  Then, discuss advantages OR disadvantages of each of the following theories of intelligence: 
•A. Spearman’s general intelligence (g) 
•B. Thurstone’s primary mental abilities 
•C. Gardner’s multiple intelligences 
•D. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory 

•Discuss in table groups, add information to class Padlet.  Double-click to add a post. Write group member names in the title.

Each group presents about one aspect of the theory (description, advantages, or disadvantages) to the class.

A: Used in a school setting to address all types of learners.
D: Some fall into same cluster
D: Almost any talent is an intelligence
D: No specific assessment]]> 2019-10-02 17:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392603793 patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392604899 A: Small enough not to overlap, everything included. 
A: There is a specific type of intelligence, not a hobby like some of Gardner's categories.
D: Intelligence has to fall in one of the three categories.  Types of intelligence exist out of those three. 
D: Some of the categories like practical intelligence are ill-defined. ]]> 2019-10-02 17:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392604899 Description patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392997697 General Intelligence (g): factor that Charles Spearman and others  believed underlies specific mental 
abilities, measured by every task on an intelligence test. A basic intelligence that predicts our abilities in varied academic areas. ]]> 2019-10-03 13:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392997697 Description patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392997807 Believed our intelligence could be broken down into seven factors: word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial ability, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, and memory.
–Those who excelled in one of the seven clusters generally scored well on others, providing evidence for g factor]]> 2019-10-03 13:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392997807 Description patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/392997832 -Gardner collected evidence from many different types of people to develop eight indicators that define intelligence. 
-Gardner suggested seven distinct human intelligences.  These multiple intelligences include: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, existential*

-Assessed by intelligence tests, which present well-defined problems having a single right answer
Creative intelligence
-Demonstrated in reacting adaptively to novel situations and generating novel ideas
Practical intelligence
-Often required for everyday tasks, which are frequently ill-defined, with multiple solutions
-Street-smarts

D: Super broad, not a lot of specifics. 
A/D:Everyone is considered intelligent, but it is broad and not specific. ]]> 2019-10-03 16:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/393143218 patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/393144479 A: Does break up intelligence into different categories that can be measured.
A: Make predictions for performance in other areas/see correlations.
D: Some overlap in the scores, still evidence of a g factor. 
D: Could have been narrowed down to more than just seven areas.]]> 2019-10-03 16:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/nj4pspgvyjsv/wish/393144479
