| dc.description.abstract | The study explored the relationship of multiple
intelligences to the academic achievement of grade six
pupils in Northern Luzon Mission. The theory developed by
Howard Gardner was the basis of the theoretical concept.
Data were obtained from 310 pupils who were enrolled
for the SY 2001-02 in the 24 church schools operated and
supervised under the Northern Luzon Mission. This comprised
61.5% of the total population of 504 pupiis in 44 schools.
Participants responded to the Multiple Intelligences
Questionnaire (MIQ), a self-construct instrument, which was
personally administered by the researcher. It contains 70
items with 10 questions each representing the seven
intelligences namely: verbal-linguistic, Iogical-
mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, visual-spatiaI,
intrapersonal and interpersonal.
The statistical analyses of the study employed rnean,
frequency, percentage, multiple regression and chi-square.
Major findings in the study led to the following
conclusions: The most dominant intelligences of the grade
six pupils were logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-
kinesthetic, and intrapersonal. The academic achievement
level was 84.09%, which is average in the grading standard
of the Mission.
The study also found that logical-mathematical and
intrapersonal intelligences were related to the academic
achievement with a contribution of 9.25%. The other five
intelligences, namely: verbal-linguistic, visual-spatial,
musical, bodily-kinesthetic, and interpersonal did not have
significant relationships to academic achievement-
Gender among the grade slx pupils does not confine one
to a certain specific intelligence. The study found that
male and female participants in the study did not have
significant correlations in their multiple intelligences. | en_US |
