4 Learner Differences and Learning Needs Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
2.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Learning Objectives 4.1 Describe current theories of intelligence including the advantages and disadvantages of labeling, hierarchical and multiple theories of intelligence, how intelligence is measured, and what these measurements tell teachers. 4.2 Explain how creativity is defined, assessed, and encouraged in the classroom. 4.3 Discuss the values and limitations of considering students’ learning styles. 4.4 Discuss the implications of the IDEA and Section 504 protections for contemporary education. 4.5 Understand and address the special educational needs of students with learning challenges. 4.6 Recognize and respond to the special educational needs of students who are gifted and talented.
3.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Outline • Intelligence • Creativity: What It Is and Why It Matters • Learning Styles • Individual Differences and the Law • Students with Learning Challenges • Students Who Are Gifted and Talented
4.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Intelligence • Controversy over labels of disorders, disabilities, giftedness – Lead to false assumptions about appropriate teaching strategies and materials – Can become self-fulfilling prophecies – Promote false stereotypes and stigmas – Limit guidance with course selections, pathways – Misused as explanations for behaviors • Benefits of labels – Provide access to assistive programs, finances – Protect child in some situations
5.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Disabilities and Handicaps • Disability: Inability to do something specific • Handicap: Disadvantage in certain situations • Avoid turning one’s disability into handicap – Avoid language of pity ▪ Examples: “Confined to wheelchair” or “victim of disease” – Become familiar with disability etiquette • Use person-first language – Students with special needs not special needs students – Students receiving special education not special education students – Students diagnosed with autism not autistic students – Some individuals “claim” their disability, want the label
6.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Possible Biases in the Application of Labels • Racial-, ethnic-, and language-minority students – Underidentified as having disabilities – Underrepresented in special education – May point to overidentification of White students • Are these minority students being well served by schools? • Do biases interfere with needed services? • Important to gather a range of information about each student – Level of English proficiency – Unusual stressors for child/family
7.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved What Does Intelligence Mean? • Intelligence: Ability or abilities to acquire and use knowledge for solving problems and adapting to the world • One ability or many? Intercorrelations among scores on all cognitive tests suggest one ability • General intelligence (g): A measure of general cognitive ability • Theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence – Fluid: Mental efficiency, reasoning ability; increases through adolescence – Crystallized: Ability to apply learned skills and knowledge; can increase throughout life span • Widely accepted current view: Many facets to intelligence; hierarchy of abilities (g at top; specific abilities lower)
8.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences • Howard Gardner: Multiple intelligences (MI), 8 separate abilities – Logical-mathematical, linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily- kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist • Individual may be high in one or several intelligences • Values of intelligences vary with cultures and eras of history • Criticism of MI: Lack of strong valid research evidence – Abilities are correlated, may not be 8 separate abilities – Some viewed as talents/personality traits, not intelligences • Gardner’s response: Theory based on wide range of research in several fields including psychology, anthropology, biology
9.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Multiple Intelligences Go to School • Misuses of MI theory in schools – Intelligences not ethnic based – Including all 8 in a lesson is overly simplistic, inappropriate • Two lessons for teachers – Differentiate instruction to connect with each student – Use variety of representations to teach skills, concepts • Focus on 6 entry points (rather than MI) in curriculum design: Narrative, logical-quantitative, aesthetic, experiential, interpersonal, existential/foundational
10.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Sternberg’s Successful Intelligence • Cognitive processing approach to understanding intelligence • Sternberg: Triarchic theory of successful intelligence • Emphasizes more than measuring cognitive ability with tests • Three parts: Thinking processes, coping with new experiences, adapting to context – Analytic skills: Analyze, judge, compare/contrast to deal with familiar problems – Creative skills: Use insight (deal with novel situations) and automaticity (process without much mental effort) – Practical skills: Adapting to environment to succeed in practical matters (career choice, social skills)
11.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Neuroscience and Intelligence • Previous theorists described content of intelligence • Emphasis of cognitive psychology – information processing • Differences in g due to differences in neural plasticity – How well brains form connections in response to experience – Neural connections for fluid intelligence peak near age 16 ▪ Critical for development of intellectual abilities – Teachers need to take advantage of plasticity (developing intelligence) • Continued debate about what intelligence is – Agreement: Intelligence related to learning in school
12.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Measuring Intelligence • Binet and Simon: Testing to determine mental age of child • Binet’s test revised at Stanford University (Stanford-Binet) – Added concept of IQ score–Intelligence quotient – IQ: Score comparing mental and chronological ages – Deviation IQ compares individual’s performance with average performance of others in age group • Score based on 100 as average (50% score 100 or lower) – Individually administered tests more accurate than group
13.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Intelligence and Achievement • IQ test scores relate to academic achievement – Measure only analytic IQ, not practical or creative IQ – IQ scores predict standardized test scores – But measures of self-regulation are a better predictor of grades in school • Tendency: Higher IQ people get more education, higher-status jobs, higher incomes • Flynn effect: Steady rise of IQ test scores over decades – Effect of better nutrition/medical care, smaller families, increased complexity of environment, better schooling • IQ scores – only estimates of aptitude for learning
14.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Gender Differences in Intelligence and Achievement • Few differences between boys/girls (infancy through preschool) • Some differences in specific abilities (school years/beyond) – Boys: More variable scores; more learning disabilities diagnosed • Caution: Differences very small; race/ethnicity not accounted for • Recent international assessments on academic achievement – Girls higher in reading literacy; few differences in mathematics – Girls higher in technology/engineering literacy at 8th grade • Differences—result of both heredity and environment – IQ tests include cultural content, some built-in biases • Intelligence: Current state of affairs—affected by past experiences, open to future changes (always improvable)
15.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Creativity: What It Is and Why It Matters • Creativity: Imaginative, original thinking or problem solving – Any subject can be approached in creative ways • Assessing creativity: Verbal and graphic tests – Divergent thinking, coming up with many possible solutions ▪ Unlike common convergent thinking – single solution – Scores based on originality, fluency, flexibility of ideas • Indicators of creativity in students: Curiosity, adaptability, high energy, humor, nonconformity, interest in complex/mysterious • Creativity/critical thinking needed for solving society’s problems, coming up with new or better ideas (not trapped by dogma)
16.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved What Are the Sources of Creativity? • 3-component model of creativity (Teresa Amabile) – Domain-relevant skills: Talents, competencies in a domain – Creativity-relevant processes: Work habits, personality traits – Intrinsic task motivation: Deep curiosity, fascination with task • Creativity and cognition: Extensive knowledge, ability to restructure problem, realize a solution (w/incubation period) • Creativity and diversity: Varying patterns among groups – Focus of creativity research – white males (not women and minorities) – Multicultural experiences and being on the outside of mainstream society encourage creativity
17.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Creativity in the Classroom Guidelines for applying and encouraging creativity • Accept and encourage divergent thinking, metacognition • Tolerate dissent; question assumptions; play with ideas • Encourage students to trust their own judgment, take risks • Emphasize that everyone is capable of creativity • Provide time, space, materials to support creative projects • Capitalize on technology; use free apps • Be a stimulus for creative thinking and brainstorming – Students generate ideas without evaluating and criticizing them – Students build on others’ ideas; encourage wild ideas
18.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Learning Styles • Learning styles—characteristic approaches to learning/studying • Cautions about learning styles – Little research to support some concepts of learning styles – More accurate term – learning preferences – Matching instruction to learning styles has no effect on learning – May lead to illusion of understanding (make learning seem easy, but students don’t process deeply)
19.
Copyright © 2019,
2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Value of Considering Learning Styles • Richard Mayer: Research support about visual/verbal learners • Explores 3 facets to visual/verbal learning – Cognitive spatial ability (low or high) – Cognitive style (visualizer versus verbalizer) – Learning preference (visual learner versus verbal learner) • Exposes complexity of identifying a learner’s effective style • Value of considering learning styles – Help students think about how they learn, develop new patterns – Help teachers differentiate instruction effectively – Presenting information in multiple modalities may be useful
