The Effect of Multiple Intelligences Theory Based Mathematics Instruction on the Mathematics Achievement and Retentıon Levels In Grade 6 Fractions Unit
Öz
This research aims to instruct "fractions" to 6th graders in a learning environments
based on "Multiple Intelligences Theory" and investigate the effect of such an
environment on the mathematics achievement and retention levels of 6th graders. The
research was conducted in a school in the İzmit Kocaeli area in two Grade 6 sections with
a total of 70 students. At the beginning of the study, the experimental groups and control
groups were given a Preliminary Mathematics Test, "Multiple Intelligences Poll" and
"Personal Information Poll". In the experimental group, "Fractions" was instructed using
activities designed according to "Multiple Intelligences Theory" while in the control
group "Fractions" was instructed using traditional teaching methods. . At the end of the
study, both groups were given a "Mathematics Achievement Test" post test. Two months
later, the post test was used again as a retention test. The findings from the research
indicated a significant difference in the students' achievement and retention levels in favor
of the group experimental group, which was instructed according to the "Multiple
Intelligences Theory".
Key words: Multiple intelligences theory, math instruction, fraction, retention level
