The Effect of Multiple Intelligence of Students to Their Performance in Physics

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effect of the dominant multiple intelligence of students on their performance in Physics, particularly Physics 7. Two sections of the grade 7 students (Helium and Hydrogen) who were enrolled at Pangasinan State University – Bayambang Campus, in the Junior High School Department for the A.Y. 2017 – 2018 were the subjects of the study. The descriptive-inferential type of research was used in the study. Descriptive – cross sectional is the design of the study. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in the statistical treatment of data. Findings reveal that majority of the grade 7 students belong to the Musical Intelligence group and that minority of them belong to the Verbal Intelligence group. In addition, the posttests’ level of performance of the students in Physics 7 when grouped according to their multiple intelligence have revealed that Kinesthetic Intelligence group performed significantly better than the other multiple intelligence groups which are Existential Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Naturalist Intelligence, Verbal Intelligence, and Visual Intelligence, except for Logical.
