The current paper aimed to identify the relation between ecological intelligence (EI) and the types of multiple intelligences (MI); and pointed out how ecological awareness could be raised through activities of MI. Data was gathered from the freshman students (N = 68) who studied at the Department of Primary Education. Four measures were used in this case study: interviews, multiple intelligence inventory (MII), ecological intelligence scale (EIS), and students' 5-min notes. Correlation analysis was used to find the relationship between the students’ ecological intelligence and the types of MI. The responses to interview questions were coded into discrete themes. Findings indicated that the intelligence type which had the most correlation with the sub-dimensions of EIS was InterP. Moreover, moderate relations were determined between the sub-dimensions of EIS and the types of MI which were Bodily/Kinesthetic (BK) and Visual/Spatial (VS). Although the students had difficulties in activities such as drama and role-playing for BK intelligence, they enjoyed, and had better motivation to learn collaboratively during the activities through visual tools. Ecological intelligence relates to various types of MI. Based on this assertion the activities of MI should be integrated in-class environmental activities for students to acquire ecological awareness and sensitivity.

This study tends to investigate whether the age of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) institutional teachers in Isfahan/Iran have any relationship with the intelligence they prefer to use, whether consciously or unconsciously, in teaching English as a foreign language. The intelligences considered for the purpose of this study are namely Interpersonal and bodily/kinesthetic intelligences proposed by Gardner (1983). In order to conduct this investigation a standardized questionnaire based on Berman (2001) and Christison and Kennedy (1999) Multiple Intelligence (MI) checklist was given to 117 male institutional teachers and the results were calculated using a paired T-test also ten interviews were conducted at the end of the case study on ten teachers after observing their classes. The results suggested that as the age of the teacher increase, to some extent, their preference in using interpersonal intelligence over bodily/kinesthetic intelligence increases as well. Also the case study conducted on one of the institutional teachers proved that teachers of older ages prefer using interpersonal intelligence over bodily/kinesthetic one.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between IQ test results and studentintelligence in learning mathematics through the Multiple Intelligence Theory.This research is a qualitative study which uses primary references forintelligence in mathematics learning and correlates with IQ tests based onmultiple intelligence theory.The results of research that discusses the theory of Multiple Intentions that areable to change the view of intelligence as seen from the results of IQ tests are nolonger relevant because IQ tests only discuss intelligence intelligence,mathematics and language. IQ tests only support math-intelligence andlanguage, while learning mathematics involves not only intelligence andlanguage. If the school wants to implement Multiple Intelligences in itseducation system, then it needs help from each teacher to ask to start and ask toput all his skills and creativity into teaching.Keywords: Multiple intelligence, multiple intelligence, IQ, mathematicalintelligence

This research studies whether there is a significant relationship between the multiple intelligences of pre-service elementary teachers, their gender, and their performances. The survey method has been used for this study. A “Multiple Intelligence Profiling Questionnaire III (MIPQ-III)” was used to collect the multiple intelligences of the participants. Reliability-test has been used to see the consistency of the questionnaire. In order to analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and Pearson correlation were used for this study. Results showed that naturalistic intelligence has the highest mean score. Meanwhile, logical-mathematics intelligence has the lowest mean score. Results also showed that logical-mathematic, verbal-linguistic, spatial, bodily-kinesthetics, and interpersonal intelligence have differences based on gender, while other intelligence has no differences. Furthermore, results also show that all intelligence, excluding naturalistic, positively correlates with the performances. Lastly, hierarchical regression shows that among the multiple intelligences, the logical-mathematics intelligence becomes a predictor for the performance of the pre-service elementary teachers. The implications of this study, such as the results, show a relationship between multiple intelligence and elementary school pre-service teachers. Besides that, it is found that the multiple intelligence of elementary pre-service teachers has a wide variety of impacts on the performance of those pre-service teachers in the future. Thus, it is expected that relevant stakeholders can better review these aspects, especially in the curriculum

<p>The present paper aimed at investigating the relationship between listening self-efficacy and multiple intelligences of Iranian EFL learners. Initially, ninety intermediate male learners were selected randomly from among 20 intermediate classes in a Language Academy in Yazd. In order to assure the homogeneity of the participants in terms of overall language proficiency, PET was administered to the learners. Afterwards, based on the standard deviation and mean, 60 participants were chosen from among the original ninety learners. Following that, the learners were asked to complete the listening self-efficacy and multiple intelligences questionnaires. The results of statistical analysis indicated that there was a significant relationship between total multiple intelligence scores and the Listening self-efficacy of the learners. Moreover, all of the intelligence types, except kinesthetic intelligence as well as verbal and visual intelligence were significantly related to Listening self-efficacy. Additionally, it was found that interpersonal intelligence uniquely explained 5.4 percent of the variance in Listening self-efficacy scores and is thus the best predictor of listening self-efficacy scores.</p>

This article discusses on the urgence of multiple intelligences-based education.  In education, the multiple intelligences approach is very relevant to the spirit of education as a process of humanizing human being. Everyone should be served individually because he/she has different potential. Therefore, indicator of achievement is depended on the individual uniqueness. There is no single indicator on achievement. The multiple intelligences highlightes there are nine kinds of intelligence, namely linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, rythmic-musical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, natural intelligence, and existential intelligence. Through this approach, the educational process should be able to produce many champions suitable of each potential

The purpose of this study is to describe the preparation, implementation and assessment related to the implementation of the Batak Angkola culture-based Multiple Intelligences approach in the thematic learning of grade IV SD 100620 Pargarutan Julu, South Tapanuli District. This research uses a qualitative research approach with descriptive research type. The subjects of this study were grade IV teachers and grade IV students. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques consist of data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of the Multiple Intelligences approach in thematic learning in grade IV SD 100620 Pargarutan Julu, South Tapanuli Districttook place well. The teacher has used varied learning methods and strategies for the Batak Angkola culture, including using lecture and story methods for students who are superior in verbal-linguistic intelligence, demonstrations in ritual ablution for students who are superior in physical-kinesthetic intelligence. For students who excel in multiple intelligence, the teacher teaches with presentations that combine creative linguistic, mathematical and kinesthetic methods with creativity. The learning assessment is reviewed from 3 aspects namely; 1) cognitive by oral, written and assignment tests, 2) affective by observation and self-assessment, and 3) psychomotor with project and practice assignments. It can be concluded that the teacher has carried out activities to provide apperception and motivation and to carry out multiple intelligence-based activities to develop the nine types of intelligence, including: linguistic-verbal, mathematical-logical, visual spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist and existentialist. So with the implementation of the Multiple Intelligences approach, thematic learning is more fun and meaningful.
