3-1 Discussion: Individual Differences
In this week’s readings, you have learned about the impact of intelligence on adolescent functioning and encountered several different perspectives on intelligence. In your discussion post, consider the application of these insights to the classroom. In what ways should current research on intelligence affect educator decisions about curriculum, activities, instruction, and support for students in their classrooms?
In your post, be sure to address the following:
- Review the ways different perspectives on intelligence might influence a developmentally supportive classroom for a wide variety of adolescents.
- Identify the limitations of using intelligence to inform instruction and classroom activities for teens. What problems might arise?
Be sure to support your ideas with scholarly research. In responding to your peers, offer feedback on two peers’ ideas around using intelligence to inform instruction.
