Can students increase their intelligence in specific areas?
Students can absolutely increase their intelligence in certain areas. It’s a teacher’s job to help them to do that. Any area that we practice and rehearse and apply ourselves to, attend, pay attention to and are motivated to exert some effort, we will improve in intelligence. There is no doubt about that. I believe that one of the goals of schooling is to teach that lesson to students: the reward that you’ll get is really related to the effort you put into a task.
