Learning Goal: Evaluate whether or not IQ is a good indicator of Intelligence
Recalling Memory
To get our minds thinking this morning, lets quickly reflect on what we have learned so far. Please respond to the following questions:
What is working memory?
What did you learn about your own memory?
Is memory a good indicator of intelligence?
What is IQ?
Please talk with a friend about what you think IQ is and what you have heard about it. Next, we will write what you talked about as a whiteboard splash on the board.
The Controvery
For the next few minutes I would like you to research IQ. As you read what people have written please take notes in a chart you're going to make in your notebook. One side says that IQ is a good indicator of intelligence, the other says it is a bad indicator.
The Expert Opinions
We will watch the following two videos of people who have studied intelligence, teaching, the information age, fixed vs. growth mindsets, and technology/Artificial Intelligence. As we listen to their talk, as yourself if they would be in support or against the idea that IQ is a good indicator of intelligence.
