- 1. P. G. T. D. of Education, RTMNU, Nagpur Triarchic Theory of Intelligence by Stenberg By Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 2. Intelligence • Intelligence is a complex and multifaceted concept that is difficult to define precisely. • In general, intelligence refers to the ability to learn, reason, problem-solve, understand complex ideas, adapt to new situations, and perform well in a variety of cognitive tasks. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 3. Cont… • Intelligence is important because it has an impact on many human behaviours. • Intelligence is more strongly related than any other individual difference variable to successful educational, occupational, economic, and social outcomes. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 4. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence by Stenberg • The Triarchic theory of intelligence was formulated by Robert J. Sternberg, a well-known psychologist whose research often focuses on human intelligence and creativity. • This theory proposes that there are three distinct types of intelligence, because it sees intelligence as comprised of three parts- : 1. Practical (The ability to get along in different contexts) 2. Creative (The ability to come along with different ideas) 3. Analytical (The ability to evaluate information and solve problems) Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 5. Cont… • Sternberg proposed his theory in 1985 as an alternative to the idea of the general intelligence factor. • The general intelligence factor, also known as g, is what intelligence tests typically measure. • It refers only to “academic intelligence.” Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 6. Cont… • The triarchic theory is comprised of three sub-theories, each of which relates to a specific kind of intelligence: • The contextual sub-theory, which corresponds to practical intelligence, or the ability to successfully function in one’s environment • The experiential sub-theory, which corresponds to creative intelligence, or the ability to deal with novel situations or issues • The componential sub-theory, which corresponds to analytical intelligence, or the ability to solve problems. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 7. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence Creative Intelligence Imaginative and Innovative Problem Solving Practical Intelligence Street Smarts and common sense Analytical Intelligence Academic problem solving and computation Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 8. Practical intelligence • This refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills to real-world situations. It involves practical problem- solving, street smarts, and common sense. • As proposed by Sternberg, is sometimes compared to “street smarts.” • Being practical means you find solutions that work in your everyday life by applying knowledge based on your experiences. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 9. Practical intelligence • This type of intelligence appears to be separate from traditional understanding of IQ. • Individuals who score high in practical intelligence may or may not have comparable scores in creative and analytical intelligence. • Practical intelligence examples can include: – Interpersonal negotiation skills – ''Street smarts'' or practical problem-solving – Ability to juggle various tasks with good time management Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 10. Analytical intelligence • This refers to the ability to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems. It involves abstract reasoning, logical thinking, and the ability to detect patterns and relationships. • It is closely aligned with academic problem solving and computations. • Sternberg says that analytical intelligence is demonstrated by an ability to analyze, evaluate, judge, compare, and contrast. • When reading a classic novel for literature class, for example, it is usually necessary to compare the motives of the main characters of the book or analyze the historical context of the story. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 11. Analytical intelligence • In a science course such as anatomy, you must study the processes by which the body uses various minerals in different human systems. • In developing an understanding of this topic, you are using analytical intelligence. • When solving a challenging math problem, you would apply analytical intelligence to analyze different aspects of the problem and then solve it section by section. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 12. Creative intelligence • This refers to the ability to come up with new ideas and generate original solutions to problems. • It involves divergent thinking, the ability to think outside the box, and creativity in problem-solving. • It is marked by inventing or imagining a solution to a problem or situation. • Creativity in this realm can include finding a novel solution to an unexpected problem or producing a beautiful work of art or a well- developed short story. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 13. Creative intelligence • Creative intelligence examples include: – Ability to solve logical problems using a variety of different approaches – Synthesizing existing knowledge to make new connections – Looking at things in new ways to figure out how they work Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 14. Cont… • Sternberg proposed that all three components of intelligence are equally important and that a person's overall intelligence is a combination of these three components. • He also emphasized the importance of context in determining which type of intelligence is most useful in a given situation. • For example, analytical intelligence may be most important for academic pursuits, while practical intelligence may be more important in everyday life. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 15. Educational implication of Triarchic Theory of Intelligence • The triarchic theory holds that students should be instructed in a way that helps them both capitalize on their strengths and correct and compensate for weaknesses. • Thus, ideally, students will be taught in all three ways (analytically, creatively, practically), as well as for memory. • This theory of Intelligence can be applied in the classroom to help each student learn to their highest potential. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 16. Cont… • One way to do this is by assigning many different types of problems for homework and tests. • For the analytical students, the problems with straightforward answers, uses of formulas, and the direction clearly stated. • The problems that can be solved in many different ways can benefit the creative intelligence. Presented by Dr. Jayshree A. Bhagat
- 17. Cont… • With math problems, there are usually many different ways to answer a question. • Asking questions without specific directions can leave the problem more open for creative ways to solve them. • Real world examples and word problems can help the practical intelligence. • Giving situations with a problem and using group work can allow these students to use their practical intelligence and learn more.
