Sternsberg intelligence theory

The purpose of this week’s assignment is to give you an opportunity to explain Sternberg’s theory of intelligence and understand how each type is measured.

Sternberg is associated with the idea that successful intelligence involved incorporating the components of analytical, creative, and practical intelligences. His ideas were revolutionary because he insisted that there could be more than one kind of intelligence. Moreover, he theorized that there were varied ways of measuring intelligence and criticized standardized intelligence testing of his day. For any of us that have been characterized as “book smart” or “street smart”, learning about intelligence theory helps us understand how there might be different ways of seeing the world around us.

Create a three to five minute screencast that identifies Sternberg’s theory of the three different types of intelligence. Give an example of each type of intelligence and explain how they are measured.

Be sure to practice your presentation before hand! Often writing out a script will help keep you on track and ensure you stay within the time limits.
Creating a screencast is a multi-step process. After you write out a script, you will need to create a presentation using PowerPoint or Google Slides. You can use appropriate images or writing in your presentation. Next, you’ll record yourself reading the script over the slides. This is called screencasting. You may create this screencast using any available technology (such as Screencast-O-Matic, Active Presenter, Apowersoft). As an ACU student, you also have access to Adobe Creative Cloud products; you can use Adobe Spark if you prefer. You can find a tutorial from ACU’s Digital Learning Studio on using Adobe Spark HERE. Your final screencast should be in either .mp4 or .mpg format.
Here’s a short video one of ACU’s professors made on creating screencasts. This was initially used in a course called CORE 115, hence the title, but it is a great resource for us, too!
