DANIEL GOLEMAN

So, what exactly is EQ? According to Daniel Goleman, Emotional intelligence is your
ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to
use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships. For better understanding
of what EQ is let us take a look at Goleman's famous EQ framework. It is about the self
and the social. Self is about how you manage yourself and the social is about how you
handle relationships. And there are 2 levels for the self and the social. The first level is
awareness, this is about who you are and getting what actually happens and the second
level is about regulation or management, this is about what you should do. So let's start
and take a look at each frame. The first frame is about self awareness, this is about
recognizing your emotions, if someone who has a low EQ gets angry or sad, they won't
look at why they are feeling this emotions, they usually will blame someone else. Angry
individual who has low EQs often become bullies and such individuals who has low EQs
often become depressed. The second frame is self management, an angry person who has
low EQ will shout at other people, curse a lot and will find more and more reasons to stay
angry and justifies the behavior. A sad person who has a low EQ will also try stay in the
mood, they will listen to sad music or redirect the emotions in a self-destructive way.
And the third frame is the social awareness, this is a skill to treat people according to the
emotional reactions, a person who has a low EQ won't be able to see and greet all the
social cues and micro behaviors of others. They will feel like a leaf in the wind and
sometimes others will take advantage of them because they are not aware for this
happening and why and therefore will go as what others want them to do. The fourth
frame is social skills, this is about managing relationships, finding common ground and
building rapport, a person who has a low EQ will often have problems to find friends or
like minding people, they will have problems to get that point across in conversations,
will often feel misunderstood and will have difficulties finding a partner. They will blame
on their  superficial things like their looks or not having enough money, if they have very
low EQ, they will just think that people in general are mean. If on the other hand the
person has a high EQ gets angry or sad, they will watch themselves like a hawk and will
try to understand why they are feeling that way, a high EQ person wants to know what is
pushing their buttons and why? and they will make it a test to get better. A high EQ
person knows that this is about themselves and not about another person. They will try
manage the emotions according to the situation, they usually take action and they will
learn what pushes their buttons. Moreover, a high EQ person won't take easy of the
situations, they would sometimes work on them and lean in to them to learn even more
about themselves. If someone who has a high EQ gets angry, they usually try to redirect it
in a way that deserving them like working out and if they get sad, they will try to meet
people that cheer them up. In social situations, a person who has a high EQ will not only
take a look at the works of another person because they know that this is just a superficial
layer and most likely not what's really going on, they will try to put this words into a
context and will try to read between the lines. While in the social setting, a high EQ
person will ask themselves questions like "Is the above person nervous pr anxious and
why? Is the above person just telling this to cover things up? But also things like if the
other person likes X, it is most likely that they also like Y. Let's talk to them about this
topic and befriend them.  And lastly, a high EQ person will not only try to read between
the lines, they will also try to use the insights at depth if necessary and they will try to
find the win win situation. And if another person is nervous, they will ask questions like
"What could I do right now to come down the other person?" High EQ persons will also
try to find common ground, they usually don't try to brag to make another person like
them, they will usually try to find things they have in common. Share topics of interests
and connect with another person because of commonalities and not because of envy but
they also use the insights to help other people build great teams and also to get that pond
across when needed

Intelligence refers to the human ability to solve problems or to make something that is
valued in one or more cultures.

The standard view of intelligence is that intelligence is something you are born with; you
have only a certain amount of it; you cannot do much about how much of that
intelligence you have; and tests exist that can tell you how smart you are.
They are Intelligent. You are intelligent. We are INTELLIGENT.

VYGOTSKY

The summary is: Social Development Theory argues that social interaction precedes
development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social
behavior. Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist at the time of the Russian
Revolution. Vygotsky's work was largely unknown to the west until it was published in
1962. Vygotsky's theory is one of the foundations of constructivism. It asserts 3 major
themes. Social Interaction, More Knowledgeable Others (MKO), and the Zone of
Proximal Development or the ZPD. Social interaction plays a fundamental role in the
process of cognitive development, in contrast to Jean Piaget, Vygotsky tells social
precedes development. He states, every function in the child cultural development
appears twice. First, on the social level and later on individual level. First between people
and then inside the child. The more knowledgeable other or the MKO refers to anyone
who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner with respect to a
particular task, process or concept. The MKO is normally thought of being a teacher,
coach or older adult but the MKO could also be peers, a younger person or even
computers. The zone of proximal development or the ZPD is the distance between a
student's ability to perform a task under adult guidance in or peer collaboration and the
student's ability solving the problem independently. According to Vygotsky, learning
occur in this zone. Vygotsky, focused on the connection between people and the socio-
cultural context in which they act and interact and shared experiences. According to
Vygotsky humans use tools that develop from a culture such as speech and writing to
mediate their social environments. Initially, children develop these tools to serve solely as
social function ways to communicate means. Vygotsky believe that the internalization of
these tools led to higher thinking skills. 

JEAN PIAGET

New babies aren't quite sure what happens to objects when they their sight. Gab's mom
keeps disappearing and reappearing. No wonder peek-a-boo is so much fun. During their
first year, however, infants will learn an important concept - object permanence.
Everything has a life of its own even if it is out of sight. At Maya's age, babies know to
look for the object but they might not have everything else straight. Ten month old Simon
is about to make a classic mistake. Although he watched us placed the toy plane under
the white cloth, he'll look for it where he last found it, not where he watched us hide it. 
Stage 2: Pre Operational Stage (about 2-7 years)
Can you look at these two glasses? Do you think that they have the same amount of
juice? (Girl nod yes) Do you think they are the same? Ok. (yeah) Now, we're gonna pour
this juice into this glass. Now, do you think that this glass has more juice? This glass has
more juice? or do you think they have the same amount? (That one has more) This one
has more and why do you think that this one has more? (because it's taller) 

Stage 3: The Concrete Operational Stage about 7-11 years 

So, first we're gonna look at these two cups right here. Do you think that they're the same
amount of juice in this glass as there is in that glass? (They're even) They're even? Ok.
So, we're gonna take the juice from this glass and pout into this over right here. Ok, so
now we're gonna look at this glass and that. So, do you think that there is more juice in
this glass or juice in this glass? Or do you think that they have the same amount? (Same
amount) Ok, Why do you think that they have the same amount? (Just because this is
skinny, it doesn't mean it does have more amount, it has the same amount of juice in this
but this is just wider and this one is skinnier but they have the same amount of juice.)

Stage 4: The Formal Operations Stage about 11 years onwards

If you hit the glass with a feather, the glass will break. (Ok?) And the second one, Don hit
the glass with a feather, what happened to the glass?(It broke) And why did it break?
(because there's a fact that it's it'll break, if it's hit with the feather, it broke.
