  1. Individual Differences By Suzy Cox

  2. Different Concepts of Intelligence • Single entity (Spearman’s g) • Multi-faceted (Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory) • Divided (Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences) • Dependent (Distributed Intelligence)

  3. Spearman’s g • Intelligence is a general factor that can be measured • IQ • It is a reflection of the speed and efficiency with which people can process information, learning tasks, and problem situations. • Do you learn all subject equally quickly?

  4. Interpreting IQ Scores

  5. Relationship between IQ and Achievement • What kind of study would this be? • Intelligence does not necessarily cause achievement; it is simply correlated with it. • What other factors might contribute?

  6. Relationship between IQ and Achievement • The relationship between IQ scores and achievement is not a perfect one; there are exceptions to the rule • Shouldn’t base our expectations on scores • Why might there be exceptions?

  7. Relationship between IQ and Achievement • IQ scores simply reflect a student’s performance on a particular test at a particular time • Change is to be expected

  8. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory

  9. Distributed Intelligence • Use physical objects • Work with other people • Use symbolic systems • How can we help our students think as intelligently as possible?

  10. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences • Most, if not all, people are intelligent in one way or another • Optimistic view of human potential • Encourages us to use many different teaching methods

  11. Linguistic Logical-Mathematical Spatial Musical Bodily-Kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalist Spiritual Existential Moral Garnder’s Multiple Intelligences

  12. Which “Smart” are you? • Online intelligence tests • If you already took them… • http://www.multi-intell.com/mi_background/vl_lesson_ideas.htm • Just because you have strengths in some areas doesn’t mean you can’t improve in others • Implications?

  13. How to handle differences • Treat all students equally • Incorporate different perspectives • Vary instructional and assessment methods • But don’t try to use ALL intelligences all of the time • Believe in and love your students

  14. Activity • Subject: the water cycle • Identify three methods you could use to teach the water cycle that would incorporate different intelligences.
