Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective of the study was to identify multiple intelligences among Palestinian students, and explore factors that can affect multiple intelligences. Multiple intelligence was evaluated using a 40-item index scale developed by Chislett and Chapman (2005) based on Howard Gardner's MI Model. It was administrated to three hundred and thirty-three secondary school students at Southern Hebron district. The data was statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that Palestinian students had a moderate level of multiple intelligences. Of the students surveyed, 69.8% revealed multiple intelligences. The results demonstrated significant statistical differences in the multiple intelligence scores among the students according to their gender, stream, family birth rank, and parents’ educational level. Academic achievement emerged as a significant predictor of multiple intelligences. The implications of the findings for practice are highlighted.
