Critical Thinking Exercises

A. How do multiple intelligence differ with emotional intelligence in terms of changes and performance?
-Howard Gardener’s multiple intelligence is when individuals are all able to know the world through
language, logical-mathematical 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 and the ways in which such intelligences
are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems and progress in various
domains. On the other hand, emotional intelligence is the ability of a person to perceive emotions of other
people, help to manage and control these emotions. Emotional intelligence helps people to understand
others better and manage their own emotions at the same time. One of the main elements of emotional
intelligence is self-awareness. Self-awareness is a sense of an understanding all aspects of its own
emotions, strong and weak sides. It helps people to know their own strengths and use them wisely. People
with emotional intelligence are therefore easier to cope with, they are more willing to change
and adapt to new environments and are more empathetic to other people’s causes. 

B. As a nurse educator, explain the 7 principles of good teaching and cite specific example for each.
1. Good Practice Encourages Student-Faculty Contact
Frequent student-faculty contact in and out of classes is the most important factor in student motivation and
involvement. Faculty concern helps students get through rough times and keep on working. Knowing a few
faculty members well enhances students' intellectual commitment and encourages them to think about their
own values and future plans.
2. Encourages Cooperation Among Students
Learning is enhanced when it is more like a team effort than a solo race. Good learning, like good work, is
collaborative and social, not competitive and isolated. Working with others often increases involvement in
learning. Sharing one's own ideas and responding to others' reactions improves thinking and deepens
understanding.
 3. Encourages Active Learning
Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged
assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it
to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.
4. Gives Prompt Feedback
Students need appropriate feedback on performance to benefit from courses. In getting started, students
need help in assessing existing knowledge and competence. In classes, students need frequent
opportunities to perform and receive suggestions for improvement. At various points during college, and at
the end, students need chances to reflect on what they have learned, what they still need to know, and how
to assess themselves.
5. Emphasizes Time on Task
Students need help in learning effective time management. Allocating realistic amounts of time means
effective learning for students and effective teaching for faculty. How an institution defines time
expectations for students, faculty, administrators, and other professional staff can establish the basis for
high performance for all.
6. Communicates High Expectations
Tell students that everyone works at different levels and they should strive to put forth their best effort,
regardless of what level it is. Help students set challenging goals for their own learning.
7. Respects Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning
Use Web technologies to allow students to pick and choose learning experiences that fits the way they
learn. Encourage students to speak up when they do not understand.
C. How do the teaching principles affect the teaching and learning process?
-The teaching principles makes the teaching both more effective and more efficient, by helping us create
the conditions that support student learning and minimize the need for revising materials, content, and
policies.
D. In what way will the teaching methods guide the teacher for effective teaching and learning outcome?
- When effective teaching is practiced, students develop a love for learning and gain new knowledge about
what they are studying. Effective teaching can stem from many different practices and ideas such as
attitude toward subject matter, implementing different learning styles into lessons, and being passionate
about the subject being taught. All of these ideas can help a teacher become more effective in the
 classroom. It is true that effective teaching also allows students to better understand new material and
difficult content.
1.1. Creation of appropriate teaching strategies based on multiple intelligences
When educators are given the freedom to move away from the traditional, visually-based methods of
teaching, they will have the opportunity to reach more students, more effectively. By teaching to the
dominant learning intelligences, teachers will find students to be more productive, more receptive and more
willing to engage in the learning process.
