Implications for teaching adult learners

What to do, what to do…

1. Identify and understand your own intelligences.2. Help your students identify and understand their own intelligences.3. Plan lessons and create activities using strategies for the different

intelligences.4. Collaborate with students to help them create their own strategies

using multiple intelligences for independent learning.5. Help students become more capable learners in using other

intelligences by creating lessons, activities, and strategies for them to practice with.

EmotionalIntelligence (Goleman)

What is Emotional Intelligence?

The ability to recognize, evaluate and handle one’s emotion and the emotion of others.

According to “Emotional Intelligence (Goleman)”(2015) “Emotional competencies are not innate talents, but rather learned capabilities that must be worked on and can be developed to achieve outstanding performance. Goleman believes that individuals are born with general emotional intelligence that determines their potential for learning emotional competencies.” (para. 4)

Five Domains of EI

Self awareness: knowing one’s emotionsSelf management: managing one’s emotionsInternal motivationEmpathy: recognizing emotions in othersHandling relationships

Practical Intelligence

Triarchic Theory

Three sub theoriesComponential sub theoryExperiential sub theoryContextual sub theoryNeed to have creativity,

practicality and analytical skills to be “Successfully Intelligent”

Tacit Knowledge

Having tacit knowledge gives adults the ability to “ successfully adapt to, select, or shape real-world environments” (Marium, B et al, 2006)

Those who are capable of using tacit knowledge seem to be more successful in their performance environment.

The Contextual Perspective of Intelligence

• First Thread

-intelligence is based on change in multiple experiences

• Second Thread

-intelligence is based on groups including

(ethnic, culture, and social)

Problematics

Researchers in the last two decades have argued that • historical, • sociocultural, and • biographical

contexts are central to the study of intelligence in adulthood(Schaie, 1994; Sternberg, 2003b; Sternberg et al.,

2000)
