A STUDY ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHING COMPETENCY AND MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE OF TRAINING COLLEGE TEACHERS

The present study seeks to measure the relationship between teaching competency and multiple intelligence of training college teachers. The Teaching Competency Scale (TCSTCT) and multiple intelligence scale (MISTCT) for training college teachers constructed and validated by the investigator have been used to collect the data from the sample of 400 training college teachers working in Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Villupuram, Perambalur, and Thanjavur district of Tamilnadu, India. The normative survey method has been adopted and the stratified random sampling technique was used in administration of the research tools. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between teaching competency and multiple intelligence. Only 14.7% of the total variance in teaching competency is attributed by the multiple intelligence of training college teachers.
