Abstract

The purpose of the research is to explain the successful intelligence of students of Payam Noor University based on the epistemology of constructivist school in 1400-1401. Considering the role and general necessity of constructivism in facilitating education and learning,This research is practical in terms of quasi-experimental method and purpose. The statistical population of the research includes the students of Payam Noor University in Tehran province, . The data collection tool for the variable of successful intelligence is the standard questionnaire of Grigorenko and Sternberg (2002), whose validity was evaluated by experts and its reliability was 74%.The statistical method used in the research is to use the table of frequency, median, mode, mean, cumulative percentage for descriptive statistics, and for inferential statistics, the test (Kolmogorov-Sminrov-Analysis of Covariance) is used. The results showed that since the origin of studies about intelligence is largely based on educational environments, therefore, educational environments where the constructivist teaching method is the basis of learning are more effective on analytical intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence than the traditional teaching method.One of the educational environments is Payam Noor University, which is conducted through the distance and part-time education system. Since the third generation of distance education is based on constructivism, it allows students to help learners to explore and solve problems with the teaching method based on constructivism as a comprehensive and creative approach, and this in turn has an effect on their analytical, creative and practical intelligence.
