Intelligence Based Knowledge
My personal way of thinking,that intelligence is something that is groomed.
The grooming can be complicated by the wide range of student ages and, to a lesser degree, background.
I would totally agree. By knowing the different learners in the class it makes it easier to plan your class and makes the learning process more efficient and effective and the students will learn more.
Recognizing the differen types of learners in the class shall greatly improve and make the learning process more efficient and effective.
Jeannette,
I think it is as well. An example of this can be seen by looking at the case histories of feral children. Exposure is important to the expansion of innate intelligence. In addition, we as humans are gifted with different types of intelligences so we need to identify those intelligences and help our students work within them.
