    Study Notes

    Cognitive Intelligence

    • The ability to use existing information to generate new knowledge.
    • Includes intellectual functions: attention, learning, memory, judgment, reasoning.
    • Important for organizations during recruitment to assess an applicant's ability to perform cognitively demanding tasks.
    • Development refers to a child's growing ability to think and reason, organizing thoughts to make sense of the world.
    • Cognition encompasses mental activities like attention, perception, discrimination, interpretation, and memory recall.

    Stages of Cognitive Development (Piaget)

    • Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 years): Based on sensory experiences and motor actions.
    • Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years): Symbolic thinking emerges but logic is not yet fully developed.
    • Concrete Operations Stage (6/7 to 11/12 years): Able to consider multiple perspectives, think logically, and perform basic math operations.
    • Formal Operations Stage (11/12 to Adulthood): Ability to think abstractly, reason scientifically, and develop hypotheses.

    Emotional Intelligence (EI)

    • The ability to perceive, manage, and regulate emotions in positive ways for stress relief, communication, empathy, and conflict resolution.
    • Five key elements (Goleman): self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, self-motivation.
    • Measured with self-report and ability tests, with ability tests considered more reliable.

    Components of EI

    • Self-regulation: Controlling your emotions effectively in different situations.
    • Empathy: Understanding and sharing the emotions of others.

    • Signs of social intelligence: effective listening, conversational skills, reputation management, avoiding unnecessary arguments.

    Spiritual Intelligence (SI)

    • The human capacity to seek the meaning of life and our relationship with the world.
    • Linked to increased psychological well-being and having a sense of purpose.
    • Examples of SI: spontaneity, living by values and principles, seeing connections and belonging, compassion.
    • Components of SI (Marshall and Zohar): deep self-awareness, broad worldview, moral high ground, happiness.
    • Can help to achieve personal integrity, purpose in life, and navigate the path toward fulfillment.
    • Especially valuable for teachers, enabling them to handle complex personal and professional situations.
