Practical intelligence and working competence at the Robinsonian Technical School context

Abstract

This documentary research is based on critical analysis as well as the researchers' experience. It is intended to analyze the last theories on practical intelligence stimulus and its relationship with the working competence of Robinsonian Technical Schools curriculum. Intelligence is defined, according to Stemberg (1999), White, Blythe and Gardner (2001), as the ability to understand the context and use that understanding to set up a strategy that best reaches concrete goals. Once the instruction on dynamic and general working competence has been clearly understood, then processes for the smitulus of practical intelligence are proposed. It is concluded that students who develop this type of intelligence are likely obtain results, since they possess the practical knowledge needed for working competence.
