Nature of Intelligence
Multiple Intelligences (Gardner)Practical Intelligence (Sternberg)
Emotional Intelligence (Goleman)
Multiple Intelligence
Howard Gardner is the creator/founder of multiple intelligence. He stated that multiple intelligence comes from out of psychology. This theory was developed to document that human beings have different intellectual strengths, they learn, and how the things are represented in their minds, to show their understand (Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 2011). Gardner suggests that there is a possibility that a person might show high intelligence in one type and not in the other types or not as high in the others.

ability/skill/talent in manipulating patterns and numbers. They approach

How Does Multiple Intelligence Relate/Connect with Adult Development & Learning
With adult learners entering classes to learn and or experience training, this could cause them to experience apprehension. This is because of the negative memories/experiences of failures and or struggles in traditional schooling. Therefore, many adults relate and see learning as their weakness or failure to succeed.
How Does Multiple Intelligence Relate/Connect with Adult Development & Learning
Does…Realizes that no one adult learner think, learn, and understand things alike
Gives adult learners the advantage to thrive in class, training, on the job
Help adult learners to use their strengths which will boost their confidence level, self-esteem, interest, etc.
Cause MORE participation and …
Preventing… LESS MURMURING
If the adult educator construct his or her lessons/lectures and training around the adults’ type of intelligence, adults will have a better chance in developing and their learning experience and memories will be a positive.
Practical Intelligence
Ability to grasp everyday tasks (Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, 2014)
Ability to understand everyday tasks (Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of
Intelligence, 2014)
Ability to deal with everyday tasks (Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, 2014)
Utilization of your knowledge to handle any situations you may
be exposed to in your day to day life.
Practical Intelligence - Impacts
Cultural Impact in Kenya Study on ChildrenA study of children in Kenya showed they generally drop out of school before graduation, and most of their families views don’t value formal Western school(Sternberg, 2002). The families focus is educating their children on ways to adapt to the environments they will live and work in(Sternberg, 2002). “Children who spend their time learning the indigenous practical knowledge of the community generally do not invest themselves heavily in doing well in school, whereas children who do well in school generally do not invest themselves as heavily in learning the indigenous knowledge-hence the negative correlations.”(Sternberg, 2002)
This example reflected that practical intelligence is different amongst the cultures, what we may value in practical intelligence may not be valued the same way in different cultures. The United States values education and improving ourselves to move up further in the career ladder, where in the example of Kenya their value of practical intelligence is learning the environment they will be working and residing in and how to survive it and make a living to feed their families.
Emotional Intelligence
"Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive
emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to
assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional
knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as
to promote emotional and intellectual growth.“
– Myer & Salovey, 1997
Emotional Intelligence – Five Domains
Knowing One’ Emotions •Self awareness knowing your feelings and using them as a guide
Managing One’s Emotions •Keeping your composure under stress
Motivating Oneself •Staying focus even when set back arise
Recognizing Emotions in Others •Empathy the ability to understand others emotions
Handling Relationships •Social skills how well one could deal with conflict, manage relationships, and build networks
Emotional Intelligence - Impacts
Culture plays a major role in shaping emotional intelligences as it makes humans functional entities in society
Culture is the manifestation of behavior of a group of people who share common values, beliefs, and ideas; it is learned through the process of socialization; it develops over time; and it is manifested through different layers ranging from superficial to deeper and less tangible layers. Sengupta, Mousumi & Sengupta, Nilanjan.2007
Culture determines the socially learned displayed rules of emotion behaviors, therefore the impact of different cultural context cannot be ignored while examining the construct of emotional intelligence. (Ekman & Oster, 1979)
