The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the Multiple Intelligences based instruction versus traditional instruction on ninth grade students' physics achievement. MI inventory, Attitude Scale Toward the Content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, Multiple Choice Physics Achievement test on the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, and MI based Physics Achievement rubric were used as measuring tools. The study was conducted with 268 ninth grade public high school students in Sincan district in the spring semester 2002-2003. There were two teachers and their eight classes in this study. MI inventory, Attitude Toward the Content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, and Multiple Choice Physics Achievement test were administered as pretest to both experimental and control groups. Then, students in experimental groups were iv exposed to the MI based lessons. Students in experimental classes were grouped with respect to the students̕ strongest intelligences in Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Visual/Spatial, Interpersonal intelligence dimensions. In control groups, traditional teaching method was used. After three weeks treatment, all the students were posttested with the same tests. In experimental groups, students̕ MI based physics achievement was measured on the last treatment week. The data were analyzed using SPSS by multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA). According to the results of this study, multiple intelligences based instruction made significant effect on students̕ physics achievement on the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ with respect to the traditional method. However, multiple intelligences based instruction showed no significant effect on students̕ physics attitude toward the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ with respect to the traditional method.

Çoklu zekâ alanlarına dayalı fizik öğretimine ilişkin dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencilerinin ve öğretmenlerinin görüşleri Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali (2008-01-01) The purpose of this study is to establish the opinions of ninth grade students' about Multiple Intelligences based instruction in physics lessons. For this reason, Multiple Intelligences Inventory and Students Opinions Questionnaire (ÖGA) were used as instruments. Beside this, teachers Opinions Questionnaire was also prepared to get two teachers opinions contributed in this study. This study was conducted with 148 ninth grade public high school students in Sincan. Students were grouped based on MI inventory...
The Effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on students's achievement in basic compounds of living organisms concepts and attitude toward biology Şakir, Tuncay; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of multiple intelligences based instruction (MIBI) over traditionally designed instruction on ninth grade students’ achievement in the unit of basic compounds of living organisms concepts and attitude toward biology as a school subject. In addition, the effect of gender difference on achievement in the unit and attitudes toward biology were investigated. Students’ science process skills were also investigated. 59 ninth grade students from two d...
The effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on sixth graders' science achievement and attitudes towards science Akbaş, Aydın; Sancar, Mehmet Tevfik; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on sixth grade students? science achievement, and attitudes towards science. This experimental research was conducted in the 2nd term of 2002 ? 2003 educational year with sixth graders in METU Ankara College Primary School, and lasted for three weeks. A randomly chosen class was assigned to the experimental group and instructed by Multiple Intelligences Science Instruction, and the other randomly chosen class...
Çoklu Zeka Alanlarına Dayalı Öğretimin Öğrencilerin Fizik Başarılarına Etkisi Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali (2005-01-01) Bu çalışmanın amacı Çoklu Zeka Kuramına dayalı öğretim ve geleneksel öğretirnin dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencilerinin fizik başarılarına etkisinin saptanmasıdır. Bu amaçla ölçme aracı olarak Çoklu Zeka Anketi (ÇZA), ve Coulomb kanunu konusunda Çoktan Seçmeli Fizik Başan Testi (ÇSFBT) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Sincan ilçesi normal devlet okullarındaki 268 lise dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. ÇZA ve ÇSFBT ön-test olarak deney ve kontrol gruplarına uygulanmıştır. Daha sonra deney gruplarındaki öğrencilerin s...
How students multiple intelligences differ in terms of grade level and gender Göğebakan, Derya; Aksu, Meral; Department of Educational Sciences (2003) The purpose of the study was to investigate the students̕ multiple intelligences according to their preferences and how students̕ multiple intelligences differ in terms of grade level (first, third fifth and eighth) and gender. This research was conducted at Middle East Technical University Development Foundation School in the spring of the 2001-2002 academic-year with three classes from each level namely first grade, third grade, fifth grade and eight grade. In this study, Pictorial Teele Inventory for Mul...
