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 was assigned to the control group and instructed by Traditionally Designed Science Instruction. A total 50 students? scores were used for the analyses. Two classes were instructed with the same teacher. The background of the teacher was sufficient to apply multiple intelligences teaching strategies from the seminars that the teacher had been participated. The measuring tools were Science Achievement Test and Science Attitude Scale. Also an interview were made with the teacher of the groups. The pilot study was conducted with 57 sixth grade students in Atatürk Primary School in Nigde. According to the results of the pilot study, some questions were revised in Science Achievement Test. Science Achievement Test and Science Attitude Scale were administered twice as pretest before the treatment and as posttest after the treatment to both groups to assess and compare the effectiveness of two different types of instruction utilized in science teaching. The data obtained from the posttests were analyzed by statistical techniques of multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA). Results of the statistical analyses indicated that multiple intelligences science instruction was more effective than traditionally designed science instruction with respect to science achievement. However, the statistical analyses failed to show any significant differences between the experimental

The effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on students physics achievement
Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003)
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 2002-20...
The relationships between seventh and tenth grade students' self-estimated intelligence dimensions and their science or physics achievement
Uysal, Emel; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
This study aimed to explore the self-estimated intelligence dimensions of seventh and tenth grade students, and the effect of grade level, gender, age, socio economic status (SES), physics/science achievement, and branch in school (science-math/literature-math/social sciences-literature) on these dimensions. In this study a Multiple Intelligence Inventory was used as measuring instrument. The study was conducted in randomly selected 26 elementary and 7 high schools throughout Çankaya, Keçiören and Yenimahal...
THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS-BASED INSTRUCTION ON SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS' ALGEBRA PERFORMANCE
Akkus, Oylum; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2009-02-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple representation-based instruction on seventh grade students' algebra performance. The study was conducted on four seventh grade classes from two public schools lasting eight weeks. For assessing algebra performance, three instruments called translations among representations skill test, objective based achievement test, and Chelsea diagnostic algebra test were used. The analyses were conducted by using multivariate covariance statistical mo...
The Effect of Explicit-Embedded-Reflective Instruction on Scientific Literacy
Koksal, Mustafa; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Geban, Ömer (2016-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of explicit-embedded-reflective (EER) instruction in scientific literacy levels of the ninth grade advanced science students by assessing content knowledge and scientific literacy levels. The study was conducted with 51 students by using experimental design. In the treatment group, the EER teaching was performed, while in the comparison group the instruction was conducted by lecturing, demonstration and questioning strategies in a teacher-centre...
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...
