UNDERSTANDING OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE OF IXTH STANDARD GOVERNMENT SCHOOL STUDENTS

Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory is an amazing approach toward learning. The first scientist who proposed this idea was Gardner who suggested that “the traditional notion of intelligence as measured by IQ testing is far too limited and there are not just two ways to be intelligent, but many ways” (1983, p.51). Based on Gardner's theory people vary according to their different aspects of their intelligence and learning. One issue which makes people different from each other is related to their intelligence preferences ( Ehrman, 2003). The sample comprised of 200 9 th grade government school students. Adopted Multiple Intelligence Inventory developed by Howard Gardner (1983) was used know the levels of Multiple Intelligence 9 th grade government school students. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between 9th grade government school students in their Multiple Intelligence on the basis of gender, age, habitation mother's qualification, father's qualification and income of the family.
