However, Sternberg calls for implementation of the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence in both instruction and authentic performance assessment. In designing the curriculum, teachers need to incorporate tasks that are similar to the real world 6. The issue of society was not specifically addressed. What I did find is the impact of culture on society where, society can be culturally driven. Ideas and skills are only viewed as intelligent if they are important to the society or culture.
Intelligence is something that grows or forms in a social setting.
There is something to be said about what people can do. The questions of whom are to be educated and who is to be schooled is not directly answered in the resources. Yet, in reading several Sternberg pieces it is evident that education is a continuous process. The entire population is a constantly being educated. All social interactions provide opportunities for higher level thinking.
