Multiple Intelligence and its Relation to the Specialization of Students in the Colleges of Education and Sciences for Girls.

Abstract

The diversity of the human mind and the differences among people and their implications for their behavior have attracted the interest of scientists , including the scholar  Gardner and his theory of multiple intelligences in 1983,It is one of the cognitive theories that has revolutionized since the emergence of educational practices , and its importance is highlighted  in guiding each individual to the job that suits him and also helps a lot to solve problems if he uses the type of intelligence appropriately. The objectives of this study are the following:- Detecting  multiple intelligences in the research sample.- Detecting differences in the multiple intelligences of students the Colleges of education and science according to specialization .- Identifying the order of multiple intelligences for each section of science and humanity according to the standard used.The study sample consists of (210) randomly  chosen students .The researcher used the Nial  Douglas  scale and after  reviewing it and adapting it to the characteristics of the studied sample ,the tool  was formed in its final form of (93) items . The results indicate the following : the existence of multiple intelligences among female students of the Colleges of education and science for girls , there were statistically  significant differences according to specialization in self- intelligences in favor of the Department of English, and linguistic intelligences in favor of the Department of Geography, and Visual and Kinetic  intelligences in favor of the  Department of life sciences, and there are no statistically significant differences in social ,logical and natural intelligence according to specialization .The results show the order of the intelligences for each section of science and humanity , where students of the departments of Physics and  Home economics here high level of self-intelligences, while students of the Department of English are distinguished with a high level of social intelligence, students of geography and Biology have a high level of linguistic intelligence, the students of Mathematics Department are described as having a high  level of self-intelligence, linguistic intelligence, visual intelligence and Kinetic intelligence . The study concludes with a set of recommendations and suggestions
