The ability to perceive and transform visual information, like an artist.

Physical intelligence; the ability to use body effectively, e.g., dancers, athletes.

Understanding others' feelings and motivations

Understanding one's own emotions and thoughts.

Sternberg's theory emphasizing components, context, and experience in intelligence.

Different kinds of intelligence, not just one type.

Intelligence related to using and understanding language.

Intelligence related to logic, numbers, and solving problems.

Intelligence related to understanding and creating music.

Intelligence related to understanding and working with images and objects in space

A general mental ability that influences performance on diverse tasks.

Seven distinct factors of intelligence identified by Louis Thurstone, including spatial, perceptual, numerical skills and more.

The ability to solve novel problems, like recognizing relationships or remembering pairs.

Using learned knowledge from experiences and education to solve problems.

The approach in studying intelligence focusing on identifying and measuring traits related to intelligence differing among individuals.

Howard Gardner proposed eight criteria to identify an intelligence, including brain localization, exceptional individuals, core operations, and developmental history.

Specific brain areas are linked to distinct intellectual functions. Damage or disease can reveal these areas.

Exceptional individuals with extraordinary abilities in specific areas like music or math.

Each intelligence has unique processes and methods of operation. For example, language uses words, music uses notes, and math uses numbers.

Human intelligence development follows identifiable stages, culminating in mastery. Studying experts reveals developmental patterns.

The ability to think and act adaptively, often involving abstract reasoning and problem-solving. It's not a fixed trait, but changes throughout life.

A broad measure of intelligence, often assessed by IQ tests, reflecting overall cognitive function.

Our understanding of intelligence has evolved over time, moving away from the idea that it's fixed at birth to recognizing its dynamic nature influenced by environment.

A key component of intelligence, referring to the ability to adjust one's thinking and behavior to meet the demands of a situation.

Intelligence plays a role in how people learn, affecting how they acquire information, solve problems, and apply knowledge.

Children aged 7-11 who demonstrate logical thinking, understand conservation, and can perform mental operations with objects, but still struggle with abstract concepts.

Guiding and supporting students' learning by providing opportunities for exploration, discovery, and problem-solving, rather than directly instructing them.

The belief that students actively build their own understanding and knowledge through experiences and interactions.

Adolescents (11+) who can think abstractly, reason hypothetically, and solve complex problems, but may not fully develop these skills until adulthood.

Regularly monitoring students' learning using diverse methods like portfolios, conferences, and explanations, allowing teachers to understand individual progress.

The process of forming myelin sheaths around nerve fibers, which speeds up nerve impulses and improves brain function. It's most rapid during infancy.

Creating a classroom environment where students are free to experiment, investigate, and ask questions, fostering a love for learning.

The understanding that the amount of something remains the same even when its appearance changes. (e.g., a ball of clay still has the same amount of clay even if it's rolled into a long shape).

Children in Piaget's stage of cognitive development (ages 2-7) who are developing symbolic thinking but still struggle with logic and abstract concepts.

The inability to see things from another person's perspective, characteristic of preoperational thinkers.

Being able to organize items into hierarchical categories (e.g., Animal -> Mammal -> Dog) and then reverse the order (e.g., Dog -> Mammal -> Animal).

It helps them understand concrete relationships between objects and begin to develop logical thinking.

Social interactions help them develop empathy, see things from others' perspectives, and reduce egocentrism.

Piaget's theory emphasizes qualitative development, influencing education by advocating for teaching methods aligned with children's developmental stages.

Vygotsky's theory focuses on building a new society and addressing practical issues related to child development, suggesting a zone of proximal development (ZPD).

The ZPD highlights the potential learning capabilities of a child; the gap between what they can do independently and with assistance.

A teaching method utilizing the ZPD where students take turns leading group discussions, with the teacher guiding and gradually shifting responsibility to the learners.

IQ scores generally remain stable in childhood, though fluctuations can occur due to unstable environments.

Teachers should create a supportive environment that encourages learning and promotes student growth.

Creativity is independent of intelligence and associated with playfulness, openness to new experiences, and originality.

Creativity tends to increase throughout early childhood, suggesting a strong correlation with playful exploration and experiences.

A project exhibiting "At Standard 10" has meticulously outlined procedures for ensuring conformity with all project components. It showcases detailed processes, procedures for implementation, and a thorough explanation of the theory underpinning the project.

A project meeting "Approaching Standard 5" demonstrates adequate procedural outlines for project execution. While procedures are present, they may lack a strong theoretical foundation, and the overall structure might be less comprehensive.

A project classified as "Below Standard 1" lacks substantial documentation and lacks any theoretical grounding. It barely outlines the project's components and offers minimal insights into its rationale.

This component refers to the clarity and justification of the project's needs, goals, and objectives. It also assesses the project's effectiveness in leveraging relevant theories to guide its implementation and achieve its aims.

This component analyzes the project's execution plan. It evaluates the comprehensiveness of the plan, including aspects like project delivery, opportunities for cognitive growth, and potential challenges or implications.

This component assesses the project's evaluation strategy, including identifying potential risks and outlining strategies for long-term sustainability.

The three standards used to evaluate a project are "At Standard 10", "Approaching Standard 5", and "Below Standard 1". Each standard represents a different level of project articulation, implementation, and theoretical foundation.

"At Standard 10" represents a meticulously developed project with comprehensive procedures and a strong theoretical foundation. "Approaching Standard 5" suggests a project with adequate but less detailed procedures and a weaker theoretical connection.

Theory provides a framework for understanding the project's goals, methods, and expected outcomes. Using relevant theories helps guarantee the project's effectiveness and enhances the likelihood of achieving desired results.

Evaluation standards provide a framework for assessing the quality and effectiveness of a project. Projects meeting higher standards represent greater levels of planning, implementation, and theoretical grounding, indicating better overall performance.
