Mathematics and Life 97 Guilford Model of Structure of Intellect

 Guilford Model of Structure of Intellect


Background - As it happens with most significant changes, J. P. Guilford was not formally a psychologist who worked in the field of defining a unique model of intellect. He was the first to define a three dimensional model of intellect.


In simple words, he said that whatever entered your senses is content, then it is processed in your brain as operations, finally it comes out in the form of products as shown in the diagram below:-




The 5 x 6 x 5 = 150 cells for what is technically known as the factors of intellects. The intellect ranges from the lowest, that is cognition of visual units to the highest level that is evaluation of behavioral implications. To illustrate, a very young baby only understands touch, face etc the highest level is like the supreme court evaluating, interpreting the constitutional provisions. 


Guilford Model and mathematics education


The Guilford Model can be used for practically all purposes in mathematics education. Right from designing the curriculum, defining levels of intellect, writing question banks, making learning activities, creating higher order thinking skills content and evaluation. My proposed, planned, reasoning activities can be executed through the Guilford Model.

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths. I also saw these videos which I guess will be very useful  9 tips to improve concentration https://youtu.be/LFIiW5BQP00 5 step formula  https://yout...

Mathematics and Life 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
