In the formal education system, teaching-learning is a process where teacher is actively engaged in providing quality education to the learners. Teacher is the only one who can recognize and identify the unique capabilities of the students. In a diverse classroom, every student is different from others, keeping this in mind, a teacher has to design teaching-learning process as per the learning needs of the learners. One way of knowing and addressing the individual needs of students is by identifying and implementing theory of multiple intelligences in classroom. Research studies have shown that profile of multiple intelligences of a teacher has a direct impact on teacher effectiveness and teaching learning practices. Studies also claim that majority of the schools tend to focus mainly on two intelligences, those associated with academic intelligence, i.e., linguistic and logical/mathematical and teachers are low when it comes to intelligences like interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential. Hence, the primary research question of this study is to explore about this less explored intelligences of the teachers. The present study is a cross-sectional survey study when the data about the multiple intelligences of 96 randomly selected teachers working in various schools of Delhi was collected using a pre-developed tool of multiple intelligences. The results of the study reveal that there is strong need to organize training programme to improve the multiple intelligences of the teachers. The findings also reveal that gender of the teacher has an influence on their multiple intelligences and female teachers scored better than male teachers in this regard. Also teachers from schools located in urban area were better in multiple intelligences than the teachers from schools located in rural areas. It was however observed that both government and private school teachers performed almost same and educational qualification of the teachers and their teaching experience did not have any influence on their multiple intelligences. The study also recommended about the scope of further research in this area of multiple intelligences.

Multiple Intelligences are various skills and talents possessed by students in solving their learning problems so that students can solve learning problems amazingly. However, the application of Multiple Intelligences-based learning has not been widely applied in schools because not many people know the concepts and privileges of learning. And researchers have just found this school based on Multiple Intelligences in MI Muhammadiyah Kartasura or commonly called MIM PK Kartasura, so the researcher aims to describe the learning process and privileges of multiple intelligences-based schools at MI Muhammadiah PK Kartasura. This research uses the qualitative descriptive method. The data collection uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The results of the research obtained are, there are three stages in the Learning Process based on Multiple Intelligences, namely: the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the assessment stage. While the feature of learning Multiple Intelligences is that teachers will get detailed information about the psychology of their students so that teachers should not look at students from one side but must look at the other side.

This article is qualitative-descriptive analytical research on multiple intelligences, a theory which Howard Gardner introduced. According to Howard Gardner's findings, the concept of multiple intelligences has been widely known and used in educational institutions. Multiple intelligences are also considered a theory that first recognized the diversity of human intelligence. With multiple intelligences, it can be said that no child is stupid. Therefore, each child is born with intelligence that is not always equal to each other. In Islam, the Quran is a complete guide for life. This research has discovered the powerful instruments to develop Qur'anic multiple intelligences in educational institutions through literature. With the thematic interpretation method (maudhui) approach, this study described the practical efforts, using the mindset of interpretation and reflection, to develop the concept of multiple intelligences based on the perspective of the Quran. After researching, collecting, and analyzing all terms in the Quran that relate to intelligence, it is found that the Quran is distinguishing the concept of multiple intelligences. It can be used further as a practical guide for educational institutions in developing the concept of multiple intelligences from the perspective of the Quran.

Multiple intelligences and extracurricular activities are two variables that may affect a student's academic and non-academic performance in school. This study aimed at describing and finding the relationship between multiple intelligences and participation rates in extracurricular activities of students from a Catholic educational institution. The study also used a descriptive-correlational design. For the respondents, the study randomly selected a sample of 200 students studying within the academic year of 2017-2018 from a Catholic educational institution. For the instrument, this study adapted the Multiple Intelligence Survey developed by Chislett and Chapman (2006) and Extracurricular Activities Survey by Kelley (2012). The study analyzed and treated statistically the collected data using rank and Spearman Rho with the help of SPSS 20. The findings revealed that visual intelligence emerged as the top-ranked multiple intelligences. Dance/ sports club emerged as the top extracurricular activities took part by most of the students. Also, there was no statistical evidence of the relationship between the multiple intelligences and participation rate to extracurricular activities of the students. Based on the result, the researchers provided pertinent recommendations for teachers, students, and the institution.

This study aims to find out whether there is a significant difference between multiple intelligence theory-based teaching method and traditional teaching method, on 5th grade of middle school students' achievement level and their attitudes towards the Information and Communication Technologies course in "Ethics and Safety" unit. As a design of the study pre-test and post-test-controlled group design was used. The study was carried out in a middle school located in the city centre in Karaman, Turkey. In the research, two classes, which were chosen randomly, were used as an experimental and a control group. The data was collected through Achievement Test, Information and Communication Course Attitude Scale. The data in the research were analysed by using statistical programme. In order to determine if there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, independent samples t test and to determine whether there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the groups within themselves, paired samples t test was used. At the end of the study, significant difference was found in the comprehension levels between the experimental group and the control group. Pretest and post test results of both groups showed that there is a significant difference between them in terms of achievement scores. On the other hand, according to the study results it is observed that there is no significant difference between the groups in terms of attitude pretest scores, but it was seen that attitude post test results of experimental group has increased significantly when compared to the control group.

The aim of an education system is to raise better generations to bring the desired dreams to come true. New possibilities exist today which are the result of the convergence of the increase in information and the unprecedented capacity to communicate. Therefore, these new possibilities must be seized with creativity and a determination for increased effectiveness. Today, meeting the basic learning needs of all requires more than a recommitment to basic education as it now exists. What is needed is a paradigm shift that surpasses present resource levels, institutional structures, curricula, and conventional delivery while building on the best in current practices to strengthen partnership and promoting systems equity. Therefore, education systems should be able to contribute to creating a more equal, inclusive and socially just world. Unfortunately, most present education systems, philosophies and implementations limit their students' ability to fully access or participate in learning. As a result, so called integration is not necessarily a step towards inclusion. This paper advocates an educational renewal designed to build the capacity of our school system to be really inclusive to support the success of all students with all types of individual differences. Helping all students with all types of individual differences and diversity should be both the promise and the challenge of inclusive education.

This study aimed at identifying the effects of instructional activities based on Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT) on the academic achievement of the Omani students with dyscalculia (OSD). The sample consisted of 14 male and female students in third and fourth grades enrolled in the resource room at Al-Ahed Primary School, Sultanate of Oman. The sample was randomly distributed to control and experimental groups each group included 7 students. The mathematics test (MT) was applied to both groups as pretest and posttest. The students in the experimental group were enrolled in instructional activities based on MIT at resource room for ten weeks, while the students in the control group were received their individual instruction at resource room at the same period. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the performance of the two groups on post-MT in favour of the OSD in the experimental group.

Learning to read and write starts at a very young age. It is expected that by the time students enter high school, they have developed certain reading and writing skills. However, research has proven many students still struggle with reading and writing skills in high school. Some of these students graduate high school ill-prepared to enter college or the workforce. This article discusses the need for implementing reading comprehension strategies to ensure success in high school English classes. It further suggests specific strategies English teachers can use to foster improvement.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the attitudes of secondary school students towards the school subject Physical Education and Sports and kinesthetic intelligence. The study was carried out in the Maragheh province of Iran, Tabriz. In 2015-2016 academic year a total of 324 students (149 girls and 175 boys) in Middle School (Tarbiyat Middle School - Nuredanesh Middle School - Sama Middle School - Sadrossaadat Middle School - Rahe Zeyneb Middle School) participated in the. In order to evaluate the attitudes of the students, the Physical Education Lesson Attitude Scale created by of Mehmet GÜLLÜ and Mehmet GÜÇLÜ was used by the students (Güllü ve Güçlü, 2009). The Multiple Intelligence Observation Form in Dr. Ziya Selçuk's Multiple Intelligence Applications book and also the Form Of Identifying Multiple Intelligence Fields and Evaluation were utilized in this research. It is a 5 - Likert type and consists of 8 subsections belonging to intelligence types in Multiple Intelligences Theory. The kinesthetic intelligence form consists of 10 questions. Data were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) statistical package program.

One of the most important tasks facing individuals in 21st century is not just to bring various intelligences (MI) together and use them properly, but figure out how intelligence and morality can work together to create a world in which people can live peacefully in a diverse democratic society. Although some courses under different names have been included in both teacher education programs and in general, education curriculum, they all failed to prepare both teachers and citizens believing in diverse democratic ideals. This paper advocates that instead of placing courses under various names (democracy and human rights, civic rights, social justice and democracy, etc.) into curricula, integrating and practicing moral intelligence activities into each and every lesson of any subject matter would serve better to prepare both more democratic citizens and more skilled and committed teachers in social justice and for a better and more democratic future.

Educational research and practice have proven that there are many benefits for applying learning theories' recommendations through teaching and learning of different subjects in all school levels. Based on interrelationships among learning theories of contextualism, connectivism, constructivism, and cognitivism, the researcher proposed an instructional model under the title of 4Cs model: contextualizing, connecting, constructing, and cognitivizing to take the learner through a mental trip from observing and examining real materials to long-term memory. However, the main purpose of this study was to identify the effect of using the proposed model on acquiring some scientific concepts, life skills, and multiple intelligences of middle school female students. To investigate this main purpose, three research statistical hypotheses were set regarding the three dependent variables. The study population was the second grade female students in middle school in Mid-Egypt. A random sample (72 students) was chosen and divided into two groups: an experimental group (37) and a control group (35).Three research instruments; achievement test, life skills scale, and multiple intelligences test were developed and controlled in respect to validity and reliability. After conducting the research experiment using the quasi-experimental design, administering instruments, and analyzing data, the results explored that there is an impact for the 4Cs model on acquiring scientific concepts, life skills, and multiple intelligence of middle school female students.

Even though curriculum designers in Turkey considered Gardner's multiple intelligence theory as one of the most important theories during the curricula reform in 2005, the university entrance examination system is still on the basis of the two intelligence areas only, mathematical-logical and linguistics intelligence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between students' multiple intelligence profiles, gender, and the university entrance exam performance. Results of the study indicated that linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences were the most dominant intelligence areas of the participants. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in participants' dominant intelligence areas with respect to gender and the university entrance exam scores. Findings from this study suggest reconsiderations in using only one examination to guide students with different abilities and skills through career options and provide insights into considering alternative ways of university entrance exams that may move beyond only measuring linguistic and mathematical intelligences.

The aim of this study was to examine mathematically gifted students' learning styles through data mining method. 'Learning Style Inventory' and 'Multiple Intelligences Scale' were used to collect data. The sample included 234 mathematically gifted middle school students. The construct decision tree was examined predicting mathematically gifted students' learning styles according to their multiple intelligences and gender and grade level. Results showed that all the variables used in the study had a significant effect on mathematically gifted students' learning styles, but the most effective attribute found was intelligence type.

This study investigated the effect of using differentiated instruction using multiple intelligences on achievement in and attitudes towards science in middle school students with learning disabilities. A total of 61 students identified with LD participated. The sample was randomly divided into two groups; experimental (n= 31 boys )and control (n= 30 boys). An experimental Pretest-Posttest Control-Group design was used in this study. Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of differentiated instruction using multiple intelligences on improving achievement in and attitudes towards science in the target students. On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of using differentiated instruction using multiple intelligences on improving achievement in and attitudes towards science in learning disabled students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of activities based on the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MIT) of seventh grade students' conceptual learning and their retention in two consecutive subjects, namely "The Circumference and the Area of a Circle" and "The Surface Area of the Vertical Cylinder". The quasi-experimental research was conducted using 48 seventh grade students (24 for each group-control and experimental). The experimental groups were exposed to instruction based on the MIT activities whereas the control groups were exposed to traditional instruction. A Conceptual Learning Test (CLT) consisted of 10 open-ended questions which were administered to both groups as a pre-test, post-test and retained test. A 2x3 (group x time) repeated measures ANOVA was performed to determine the significant differences in the test scores. Results showed that instruction based on the MIT had a more significant effect on 7th grade students' conceptual learning and their retention than traditional mathematics instruction.

Societies have striven through centuries to develop educational systems that would foster the most idealistic educational outcomes among learners. A brief overview of the existing body of knowledge on this issue shows the recurring patterns of underachievement and the growing rates of student drop-outs which have motivated psychologists and educators to attempt at a pathological examination of the causes of student failure, and models of learning and cognitive styles which were proposed as possible explanation. The aim of this paper is to briefly review some of the most influential models and to draw readers' attention to inherent shortcomings of the models. The methodology used for this study was library research, where the author took notes to gather the data needed for this paper. After a brief review of the existing models, the paper proposes a more comprehensive model, which is called the Ideal Education Model (IEM) and recommends it as an alternative to the existing models.

This study investigated the effect of using differentiated instruction by integrating multiple intelligences and learning styles on solving problems, achievement in, and attitudes towards math in six graders with learning disabilities in cooperative groups. A total of 60 students identified with LD were invited to participate. The sample was randomly divided into two groups; experimental (n = 30 boys) and control (n = 30 boys). ANCOVA and T.test were employed for data analysis. Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of differentiated instruction by integrating multiple intelligences and learning styles on solving problems, achievement in, and attitudes towards math in the target students. On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of using differentiated instruction by integrating multiple intelligences and learning styles on solving problems, achievement in, and attitudes towards math in learning disabled students.

The paper provides a critical overview about teaching children in regular classrooms, designing and enriching curricula for gifted children and using multiple intelligence theory as teaching mathematics by giving several examples. Teaching mathematics or science to gifted children doesn't seem easy because every student is different than each other. In order to eliminate the expected problems the curriculum should focus on many things like their interests, abilities and their needs. Thus differentiation in terms of content, product and environment is the key concept to prevent some challenges in regular classrooms. Also, the paper attempts to look at enriching curricula for gifted children by providing different strategies to teachers as implementing programs such as designing education plan to see their learning styles, characteristics and interests in different areas or using computer technology such as expecting project preparation with individual or small group work. This approach is related with multiple intelligence theory as well which will be used as a benchmark for the last part of this study. Thus, the study focuses on the alternative methods and strategies. Also in Turkey throughout history, education of gifted students has been conducted by Arts and Science Centers (as called BILSEM) and study of some institutions and associations. However, parliamentary questions suggested in 2011 and strategy plan established in 2013 have shed light on necessity of support of gifted and talented students.
