Chapter 4: Understanding Student Differences
- How would you define intelligence? Who is the most intelligent
person you know? Why did you select this person? How does your definition
of intelligence compare with your classmates' definitions?
- Do you feel that we have a general intelligence or that
we have multiple intelligences? Explain your answer. What implications does
the distinction between these two theories have for teachers?
- It is argued that each of us has our own learning style
or way of learning new information. What are some different learning styles
and how can a teacher address a variety of learning styles in the classroom?
- What are some differences among male and female students
in terms of academic achievement? Are those differences consistent with
your own educational experiences? Why do you think these differences exist?
How should teachers address these gender differences in the classroom?
- What role can technology play in helping teachers and
students to address the issues of intelligence, learning styles, and academic
achievement discussed in this chapter? Have you experienced instances in
which technology made a difference in these areas of learning?
