Unsa man ang imong suggestion para ma-improve ang intellectual power sa mga filipino?

what you mean is IQ,
to improve your IQ then you have to start reading, studying, learning
watch movies,
read books,
surf,
be curious
experiment
there are many ways to learn you just have to keep digging and digging instead of just settling for mediocrity

if you are still a student, you have to borrow books from the library so that as you level up you can adjust yourself from books
it all starts with simple books: fiction
then you it becomes thicker
then more comprehensive

i started from michelle, sweet valley to nancy drew and sweet valley high to inspirational books, then non fiction then history books, joke book,s a lot of IQ books, and you have to read everyday, you have to set time on reading. Make sure you like what you read so that you can retain it. In college, you'll end up settling for books of your course and if you are not fund of reading, you will end up sleeping. Yeah. The fonts are so small, not enough illustrations and some books are so hard to understand. One example is Black's Medsurge.... tsk tsk

People nowadays are on the net so the tendency is they wasted too much time on stupid and unimportant things.

Passion is always the key to a better learning.

If you want to learn then study.
If you don't want to study then stop dreaming on becoming intelligent.

and another thing, what is IQ if your EQ is very low....
attitude, personality, character.. IQ and EQ together defines who you are.

I agree with you sis and I highlighted/colored the phrase that really made sense.....Most parents and teaching institutions strive hard to better their child's IQ and yet unknowingly disregarded the Emotional Quotient of the child of which by the way is the defining factor of how a person SURVIVES the harshness of life.As what Nitwit mentioned in her post above that a lot of intelligent (academic wise) persons ended up as a mediocre while some of their counterparts achieved the highest stalls in society.

I believe that EQ specially at the early stages of life should never be hampered or disregarded during the process of improving a person's IQ.


I'll site a common example of what I'm talking about here:

A mother wants her child to have good grades in school (elementary) and thus she provides the child will all his material needs helps him with his lessons.
But when the child unfortunately FAILS....Wham....kasaba didto kasaba diri,without ever explaining to the child what were the REAL reasons why she (mother) got irritated......The child (innocent as he is) thinks that he got scolded simply because he got a failing grade..So his immediate course of action is to study hard (and cheat harder) for the simple and lame reasons of having good grades and to impress her mother.....He will never realize that the real purpose of studying in the early years school life is to prepare him for an even harder lessons later not only in the academe BUT also in the realities of everyday living..Then later on as the child grows up he now subconsciously see every FAILURE as something to be feared or a thing with an absolute absence of rewards, which of course is the exact opposite.
(I don't have to elaborate that every Failure can be converted into a Blessing if you have a strong EQ) Why do you think that most Positive thinkers excel than Pessimists? They endure...They don't get discouraged...They stand up with a smile when they fall.

And so my suggestion on how to improve the quality of our intelligence is to do the things that most of you guys suggested above (all of them are good wlay labot tong mga bugal2x) BUT do those things in par with improving your Emotional Quotient

[nitwit]

so what are you suggesting? that reading books is not the answer?
so what's your idea?
if you can have a better idea then i will accept it

life is not just based on books maam thats my point. why dont you google most of the rich people in the world made their money just basing from common sense? as a matter of fact some of them are from scratch. and how many bookworms do you know have made it to the very top? you were implying that the best thing kids could do is just read books all the time, but what about common sense? kids will be kids,they should have fun and not just get stuck with reading books. when i was in uni, i have many chinese friends that are really smart,they excel in all our subjects BUT if they are out in crowd and they need to socialize theyre like turtles they dont know how to get along with people. some of them got books addiction because thats what theyre parents taught them since the start.i am not saying its wrong to teach your kids to read books all im saying is REAL LIFE is not based on books. you have to be out there and see it yourself and OFC COMMON SENSE IS A BIG FACTOR! do you think bill gates finished college?what about that harvard kid?mark zukerberg,did he finish college?no they didnt! kerry packer and theres heaps of them who didnt finish college and some are even high school drop outs. i have read an article about kerry packer being a dyslectic and he was a high school drop out because he had problems reading, but he made his billions cause he used his common sense. BOOKS WONT TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND SURVIVE IN THIS LIFE,it'll probably give you hints how to make money but at the end of the day maam,common sense is needed. there was no books back those days of galileo and einstein, they used their common sense in their inventions and after that it was being noted and from there, publishing books from inventors started. where do you think books come from? their thoughts cant just popped in out of nowhere,inventors didnt rely on what they read in books but more so, on what they can do to the world out there.

i understand you point but for me, common sense is not really applicable in all aspect.
reading books is for you to improve not just your IQ but your common sense as well

i don't know how you live your life but i prefer to read and understand and practice it as well
i said that if you are a student you start reading, which means that you study
common sense cannot answer your test, periodical test, mid term etc
common sense cannot make you make a thesis or research paper
common sense can't make you graduate any kind of degree

studying is the most important key to succeed
i did not say you become a genius
i just said you study
and being a genius is inborn, it is in the genes, you can not do anything about it

as for after studying, it is there that you apply your knowledge

i really don't know how you got up with your common sense but here is my idea, life is not base on common sense.
Those people who got rich don't just use common sense, they applied what they have learned.
even science is base on research, on books, on experiments

if you think that studying is not a better option then come out with a better reason

who made the first book maam? where do you think the author got his/her idea from without basing it from common sense since there wasnt many book back the old days? how do you think our ancestors evolved?they didnt know how to read and write, dont tell me books tell you how to hunt?how to eat and all those sort of stuffs? therefore life is base on common sense isnt it?

your really wrong if you say life is not base on common sense, i would rather live my life using my common sense that get stuck in a room and read books. if this is how our ancestors or the first people in the world think, that life is not about common sense then how do you think we came up with all these brilliant ideas? there was no such thing as someone writing it first in the book of how fire was created. wasnt it from common sense?

im not saying studying is not one of the big factors to success,i even suggested that phil govt should build a selective school or a study now pay later system didnt i?but all i was trying to point out which i dont think you get maam is that, life is about common sense. really.

culture change.. more reproductive health courses (appropriate age-of course)

you can just imagine what kind of primitive culture we still have by this old filipino myth " gi anak ang taw gkan sa bamboo trees" ... nyahahahaha
