Özet

The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between grade 9 Students’ intelligence domains in the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MIT) and biology achievement and determine the relationship between the intelligence domains and gender. Investigation is a definitive field research in which scanning model was used. Study universe was accepted also as sample and 80 students from three different ninth grade classes (9/A, 9/C, and 9/E) formed the sample. The Multiple Intelligence Evaluation Scale (MIES) and biology first and second exams points’ means used for data collection. Calculation of means, standard deviations, t; test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the study, the highest mean score of the students in intelligence domains is logical/mathematical intelligence, the lowest mean scores is linguistic intelligence. But these differences in mean scores were not found statistically significant (p>0.05). On the other hand, there were not found statistically significant differences between gender and intelligence domains in 9/A and 9/E classes (p>0.05). However there was found statistically significant differences between gender and interpersonal/social intelligence domain in favor of females in 9/C class (p

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between grade 9 Students’ intelligence domains in the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MIT) and biology achievement and determine the relationship between the intelligence domains and gender. Investigation is a definitive field research in which scanning model was used.

The Multiple Intelligence Evaluation Scale (MIES) and biology first and second exams points’ means used for data collection. Calculation of means, standard deviations, t; test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the study, the highest mean score of the students in intelligence domains is logical/mathematical intelligence, the lowest mean scores is linguistic intelligence.
