Introduction
Introduction
Gardeners Theory:
We are all able to know the world
through language, logicalmathematical analysis, spatial
representation, musical thinking,
the use of the body to solve
problems or to make things, an
understanding of other individuals,
and an understanding of
ourselves
Where individuals differ is in the
strength of these intelligences the so-called profile of
intelligences -and in the ways in
which such intelligences are
invoked and combined to carry out
different tasks, solve diverse
problems, and progress in various
domains."
Gardeners Argument:
A contrasting set of
assumptions is more likely
to be educationally
effective
Students learn in ways that
are identifiably distinctive
The broad spectrum of
students - and perhaps the
society as a whole - would
be better served if
disciplines could be
presented in a numbers of
ways and learning could be
accessed through a variety
of means."

Intelligence Intro
Intro
One theory of intelligence that Robert J. Sternberg
proposed as part of his three intelligences in human
cognition (Meunier, 2003)
Moves away from the concept of academic intelligence,
such as using problem solving for everyday life
(Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007)
Does not help an individual much for an individual
When applied with the academic intelligence, it creates a
well-rounded intelligence for the individual
A student excelled in medical school but underperforms as a
doctor is lacking in practical intelligence to allow for success in
his field

Sternberg measured practical intelligence
with a concept titled tacit knowledge
(Meunier, 2003)
This was done by applying knowledge instead
of the knowledge itself
The knowledge is also commonly gained
naturally through academics by possible
personal interest (Meunier, 2003)

Intro
Emotional Intelligence is also known as EQ is the ability
to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in
positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively,
empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse
conflict. (Segal & Smith, 2014)
Daniel Goleman wrote a book in 1995 about emotional
intelligence which talked about four attributes: selfawareness, self-management, social awareness, and
relationship management
Mr. Goleman thinks that emotional intelligence should be
taught in schools along with regular academics

self-management is a great
tool to have when coming back
into the higher learning field

use these attributes in team
building within the classroom
and to better understand all

Emotional intelligence can be shaped by culture
depending on life views
When it comes to the affect of emotional intelligence
culture plays a huge impact
Depending on cultural views, one can lack emotional
intelligence. It has been stated that people who come
from a healthy culture usually are emotional intelligence,
and those with unhealthy cultures usually lack emotional
intelligence and have to work a lot harder to get and
keep their emotions together.
