How does this affect students intelligence?

Doesn't really. A persons IQ is fairly constant, basically almost the same throughout its entire life. It is only our level of education that changes. \nThe more educated people a country has the more productive it becomes. \nEconomy and politics are more or less the same thing nowdays. Without a well-trained work force with a high level of education a country cannot be competitive on the global market.

Great question!  As a former teacher, and a student for a long time!!! I would say, yes it does affect students.  Maybe on an unconscious level, but yes.  Students look up to teachers-- what's inside the teacher matters more than what's outside, but you see the outside first. . .

I have never heard that before. My husband has a much higher I.Q. than I do and our male son is very smart. More so than I was as a child. On his Kindergarten placement test he scored 99% nationwide. I was a B student growing up and if I really applied myself could pull of an A or two. I definitely attribute his intelligence to his dad.

Intelligence is believed to be a product of both your genetic makeup and you very early childhood development. The more interaction a young child (less than say 3 years ) gets other people and things the better their brain develops. \n\nGetting 90% marks or even 100% marks are not a measure of intelligence but of knowledge.

You can't improve memory or IQ. \n\nThey are like a measure of capacity and it's up to you to make the best use of them. \n\nI used to think IQ was a big thing until I knew a person who had an IQ of 150 was no more than a painter and one person I knew who was amazing at busines had an IQ of less then 95.\n\nUse the source below for help in organising what you learn.

very important as it helps in enhancing their cognitive skills and intelligence...

Many things can be disputed about it. Firstly, IQ tests themselves are not accurate measures of intelligence. They only test certain skills and these skills are not exclusively innate. They can be taught. \nSecondly, it depends on social background, if a test asks about something the people taking the test have no knowledge about then they are unlikely to get the question wrong.\nThirdly, there are the social group of the people taking the test and bias. If he tested a group of white university students and compared the results with black prisoners or something then the results are going to be comprimised.\nMost importantly, the scientists who do these tests always have their own views and can easily mulnipulate the tests to get the results they want. There was a lecturer recently who said the black pupils in his class get lower marks than the white pupils. Proves nothing, he marks all their papers doesn't he?

As the third child of the third child who placed first,second or third in his class,I grew up confident about my mental ability.Then at college intelligence was defined as all around general ability.Everyone knows who leads in science and technology,mathematics and certain related skills.Environment affects IQ; and it may bolster intelligence in a crisis.For example,I read a news story of a man who used the door of a fridge and a broom to scull to safety during the disaster in Loisiana.No matter what his IQ score says, I consider him ingenious and a genius to think of such an idea.I made the Dean's List(180/810)but I have not arrived;neither do I worry about IQ.I work at developing all around ability for crisis moments.

Functional IQ changes over time. The same person taking an IQ test at 7 would theoretically score lower than they would at 10. It is assumed that in those 3 years they would have gained skills that raise their functional IQ, such as test-taking proficiency. \n\nOne of the reasons your IQ appears to have dropped is that if you have left school, you are probably less proficient at test taking, and general academic knowledge may have become less important to you than practical knowledge. If you are attending college, look at the number of standardized tests you are taking. If you are in a field that requires papers instead of standardized exams, your functional IQ for test-taking may have slipped.\n\nIf you're truely concerned, see a professional. Do-It-Yourself IQ tests can be wildly misleading.

Anything increases your IQ. It is an INTELLIGENCE quotient, so anything that increases your intelligence will increase your IQ.

Depends on each person. Try to find out more about the person's interests and work it out from there. (Well, this actually requires a lot of experience, but basically is about putting yourself in their shoes and trying to see how math is involved in their favorite domain or can help them further their talents.)\n\nFirst of all don't forget to value their talents and say it's ok if they don't learn math after all, they are not stupid. There is something called "The theory of multiple intelligences", you know...

Not one bit.\n\nColleges (and employers) don't care how smart you are.  They care about what you can do with your intelligence.  That's why they look at grades and aptitude test scores.

During my graduate studies in Education/Curriculum & Instruction, I remember learning about how flourescent lighting in schools affects students with ADD, so your theory has support.  I personally put lamps all around my classroom and made sure to have the blinds up at all times to maximize the amount of natural light in the room.  While I couldn't quickly find anything in an online search, I just wanted to let you know that I had heard of this and agree with you that it definitely plays a role.

Tests are only as good as the person who wrote them.  There are inherent flaws in every type of exam.  The best measure of intelligence is determined by multiple tests.

The IQ of a person is depend upon his personal,educational & social knowledge. It means in some cases the mens IQ is higher & in some casesthe womens IQ is higher By-Umashankar

I believe the Flynn Effect to be a fallacy. I assume that we have more general knowledge than previous generation because we have more structure than our ancestors. We have many more opportunities and have had further advancements in technology. \nThis is probably why past generations had lower IQ scores than we did.

Gifted has to do with the child's actual IQ. I can't recall the number but at that point you are labeled "gifted".
