The theory of successful intelligence in developing the skills of designing educational situations and developing generative thinking skills in science

Author: Daleel Abdulaziz Abdulrahman Al-Surayea About the book: The theory of successful intelligence is a theory of human intelligence, developed by Sternberg in 1996, and it clarifies that intelligence is not just a single ability but a combination of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. This theory focuses on the fact that true intelligence is not limited to academic excellence or memorization skills alone, but rather the individual's ability to adapt to real life and achieve success within its cultural and social context, by employing and developing their strengths to adapt to the environment and achieve their goals, while recognizing their weaknesses and working to compensate for and correct them. Sternberg believes that a smart person is one who can use their abilities in three main aspects: Analytical intelligence: critical thinking and problem-solving. Creative intelligence: inventing new ideas and unconventional methods. Practical intelligence: applying knowledge in daily life and dealing with situations. The theory of successful intelligence explains that success does not depend solely on what we learn from books, but on how we use our knowledge and skills to face challenges and achieve our goals.
