AN APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS IN THE CLASSROOM: A REALITY OR A UTOPIA

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

What is intelligence? What type of people are more intelligent? Why are some more intelligence than others? What is the best education to powerfully develop intelligence and obtain an honorable quantification? All these academic questions are what manipulate today´s education, they are what generate intellectual perfection in the search for results that are approved by schools, universities and even for connection to the workplace. But, how accurate is this educational approach for the development of talents within a modern, technological, dynamic and competitive society? Gardner proposes that these talents are multiple intelligences that must be the fundamental basis for defining the conditions of the teaching- learning process in each of its stages and elements. Therefore, intelligence should not be limited to its assessment in an imposed test, but rather one or more skills should be stimulated from a personal decision based on the learning expectation to define the resources, both of the individual  and the context , and the strategies to be used, not for a written test that pigeonholes the student and defines their future, but to develop one or more talents that lead to efficient action within any field, both individually and as a team, even more so when the latter requires the sum of various talents for the execution of a task. The above should be both the means and the end of the new education. Therefore, it is concluded that the initial basis of this proposal considers defining the type of intelligence of the student in order to enhance it from pedagogical practice under a diverse and motivational mantle that leads to being more intelligence within the multiplicity of intelligence.
