Eco-tour

Eco-tour is an educational process made up of five elements:

Awareness: Environmental education seeks to build awareness – both a sensory awareness around us, as well as an awareness of societal issues & problem – solving strategies.

Knowledge: Increased awareness encourages students to improve their knowledge & understanding of natural processes.

Attitude: Students’ may change or mature as they develop a deeper appreciation of & respect the natural world & for individual people & cultures. Once, they see their actions made a difference; they will feel a greater responsibility to the environment & begin to pursue other environmental endeavors.

Skills: The development process skill involves teaching students how to think what not to think. This enables them to become more effective decision-makers. Decision making skills include critical thinking, creative thinking, communication skills, analytical & observation skills, negotiation & conflict resolutions & the ability to identify the values.

Participation : Ultimately, the goal of environmental education is to encourage students to apply their knowledge, skills & commitment outside the classroom. Participation can mean changing personal behavior, or involving one self in decision-making.

When two dozen prominent theorists were asked to define

intelligence, they gave two dozen somewhat different

definitions (Sternberg & Detterman, 1986).

Intelligence is multi-faceted, with intellectual functioning

covering various mental processes. Therefore, it is difficult

to measure all facets of intelligence through a single test.

Intelligence can be developed though experience and

nurturing, although it has a certain genetically determined

ceiling.

Intelligence is not a unitary concept. There are

many different “intelligences” (systems of abilities),

only a few of which can be captured by standard

psychological tests. Some of these most popularly

measured intellectual abilities are as follows:

Verbal Reasoning: Use of language and vocabulary

Abstract/Visual Reasoning: Interpretation of visual

information (drawings) and finding relationships in

visual/ abstract figures.

Quantitative Reasoning: Manipulation of numbers,

understanding of basic mathematical operations.

Short-term Memory: Immediate recall of numbers or

alphabets.

1. Linguistic: Children with this kind of intelligence enjoy

writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword

puzzles.

2. Logical-Mathematical: Children with lots of logical

intelligence are interested in patterns, categories &

relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems,

strategy games & experiments.

3. Bodily-kinesthetic: These children process knowledge

through bodily sensations. They are often athletic, dancers

or good at crafts such as sewing or woodworking.

Psychologist Howard Gardner

Theory of Multiple-Intelligences

4. Spatial: These children think in images and pictures. They may be

fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, 3 D perception or spend free

time drawing, building with blocks or daydreaming.

5. Musical: Musical children are always singing or drumming to

themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.

These kids are often discriminating listeners.

6. Interpersonal: Children who are leaders among their peers, who are

good at communicating and who seem to understand others’ feelings

and motives possess interpersonal intelligence.

7.Intrapersonal: These children may be shy. They are very aware of

their own feelings & are self-motivated.

Psychologist Howard Gardner

Theory of Multiple-Intelligences

1. Moral Intelligence: Moral Intelligence is the ability to distinguish

between right and wrong.

2. Social Intelligence: Interpersonal intelligence or social intelligence is

the ability to understand other people

3. Emotional Intelligence (EI): Emotional intelligence, the skills that help

people harmonize, should become increasingly valued as a workplace

asset in the years to come”. Emotional Intelligence involves abilities that

may be categorized into five domains:

Self-Awareness

Managing Emotions

Motivating Oneself

Empathy

Handling Relationships

New Concepts in Intelligence

Spiritual intelligence is about the human need and talent

for finding meaning in experience.

IQ and EQ are the integral part of Spiritual Quotient (SQ).

While SQ cannot be quantified or measured, IQ and EQ

may be assessed.

SQ may also be seen as the highest and ever growing

need in the mankind.

Spiritual Quotient (SQ)

• Versatility, the ability for multi-tasking

• Early developmental milestones

• Advanced vocabulary for a particular age or level

• Very good retentive memory

• Is easily bored with routine tasks

• Striving towards perfection

• Keeps looking for different possible solutions
