Assessing Multiple Intelligences among Primary School Students in Palestine: A Survey Study

The current study aimed to analyze the differences in multiple intelligences among primary school students in Palestine. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach based on the use of the questionnaire as a study tool to collect data. The study tool was applied to a purposeful sample of (161) male and female students. The results of the study indicated the existence of statistically significant differences between the average performance scores on the Multiple Intelligences Scale between the sexes in personal intelligence only and in favor of students. The results also showed the existence of statistically significant differences between the average performance scores on the Multiple Intelligences Scale among primary school students in Palestine attributed to the variable of the academic grade in favor of the fifth and sixth grades. The study reached several recommendations, the most important of which is developing awareness of the theory of multiple intelligences in educational and teaching institutions, and methods of applying it among students and those in charge of the educational process. The study suggested conducting more studies in this field.
