The Effect of Multiple Intelligences on the Acquisition of Science Operations by Middle School Students of Arabic Grammar

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the multiple intelligences in the fourth students’ acquisition of the literary processes of Arabic grammar and to identify the differences in multiple intelligence according to gender (males - females). The study was determined for students of the fourth literary preparatory Al-Hakim Preparatory (for males) and Rabat Preparatory (for females) of the Second Karkh Education Directorate, topics from the Arabic grammar subject (past tense, present tense, imperative, subject, and object) for the first semester of the academic year 2019-2020. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of the students who were taught by the multiple intelligences strategy and the averages of the scores of the students who were taught by the traditional way. There are statistically significant differences between the average scores of male and female students in favor of females on the post-science process test. The study also indicated the superiority of females in linguistic intelligence over males, while males outperformed in physical-kinesthetic intelligence over females. The research came out with a set of recommendations and suggestions.
