Speara’s Psyhoetri Approah – Intelligence as a single trait.
Psychometric Approach – the measurement of individual differences in behaviours and abilities.
Cattell’s View of itelligee – Intelligence as a few basic abilities.
• Fluid Intelligence – the ability to think on the spot and solve novel problems
• Crystalized Intelligence – Factual knowledge about the world, skills already known.
Fluid Intelligence is measured by:
• Puzzle solving
• Next number in a series
Children that do well on one test of fluid intelligence usually do well the others for fluid.
John Carroll – Three-stratum Theory of Intelligence
Garder’s Broader theory of Itelligee:
• Theory of multiple intelligences
• First three intelligences are included in psychometric theories of intelligence:
• Linguistic
• Logical-Mathematical
• Spatial
Remaining 6 distinct intelligences are unique to Gardners theory:
• Musical
• Bodily-kinaesthetic
• Interpersonal
• Naturalistic
• Existential intelligence
*however none of this has been thoroughly researched. But embraced because of the kind and
gentleness of his theories.
Robert Sternberg Triarchic Theory of Intelligence:
• Disagrees with Gardner in calling these intelligences instead believes these are talents or
abilities.
Three aspects to intelligence:
• Analytic/academic intelligence
• Creative intelligence
• Practical intelligence
Factors that influence Intelligence:
• The childs influence: gender, genetics etc
• The immediate Environments influence: Family and school
• “pearas Pshoetri Approah.
• Cattells View of Intelligence
• Fluid intelligence and Crystalized intelligence
• Carrolls three stratu Theor of itelligee
• Garders road theor of itelligee –
linguistic, logical, spatial.
• ‘oert “terergs Triarhi Theor of
Intelligence: Academic, creative and practical.
• Factors that influence intelligence
• The Flynn effect

• The soiety’s Ifluee: Poverty and race/ethnicity
The Flynn Effect:
• Each generation performs approximately 2% better on intelligence tests than previous
generation
Week 8
Motivation and Engagement:
VAK Preferences:
• We may have a preference on the way we receive and process information
• By hearing it? (auditory)
• By seeing it? (Visual)
• By toughing it? (Kinetic)
The Evidence:
• Teaching students in their preferred modality does not lead to higher marks
• Teach students in the best modality for the lesson.
Take home message:
• Do not label students as teaching modalitys.
• Teach in a way that gets the outcome across
• Dot put too a activities in the lesson, it dilutes from the main message of the lesson
Sources of motivation:
• Situations: some situations are more motivating then others
• Teachers: teachers can motivate in the way they teach
• Students: Their reasons for being motivated differ
• Individual differences: type and intensity of motivation.
Andrew Martins Motivation and Engagement Wheel:
• Useful way of thinking about why some students are eager to learn & persevere while
others do not like learning & give up quickly
Positive Motivation:
• Learning focus
• Valuing school
• Self- belief
Negative Motivation:
• Anxiety
• Failure avoidance
• Uncertain control
Positive Engagement:
• Planning
• Study management
• Persistance
• VAK Preferences
• Sources of motivation
• Andrew Martins Motivation and Engagement
wheel
• Positive and negative motivation
• Positive and Negative Engagement
• Attribution theory
