Evaluating the Unit of “How Effect Electricity in Our Lives” in Science Course by Multiple Intelligent Theory Based Activities

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the unit “How Electricity Affects our Lives” in a sixth grade primary school Science Course by using Multiple Intelligence Theory-based activities. This study was conducted with 292 (for pre-test), and 210 (for post-test) students from eight public schools in the province of Bal kesir. A Pre-test – post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used in the study. “Multiple Intelligence Inventory” and “Electricity Achievement Test” were administered as pre-test and post-test to both experimental and control groups before and after the instruction, respectively. According to analyzed results, it is concluded that Multiple Intelligence-based teaching activities were more effective than traditional teaching methods with respect to the Electricity Achievement Test scores; however, there was not much difference found in terms of the Multiple Intelligence Inventory scores between the two groups.
