ThesisItem Open Access Assessment of multiple intelligence of school going girls(CCSHAU, 2017) Mintu Rani; Chikkara, SudhaMultiple Intelligence (MI) refers to a learner-based philosophy that characterizes human intelligence as having multiple dimensions that must be acknowledged and developed in education. However, traditional IQ tests, while still given to most school children, are increasingly being challenged by the Multiple Intelligence movement. Present study was conducted on 200 girls in 6-8 years age group from rural (100) and urban (100) areas of district Fatehabad of Haryana State. Tools used for data collection included questionnaire cum- interview schedule and multiple intelligence tool to measure nine components of multiple intelligence both developed by Dabas (2000). Results revealed that most of the respondents from both rural and urban areas were in average level category for all the components of multiple intelligence except for bodily kinesthetic intelligence in urban area as they were in below average category. The parents of most of the respondents were not much qualified and had Rs. 10901-20,000 level of income per month and had nuclear families. Further it was observed that few variables such as father’s education and residential surroundings from microsystem are significantly associated with interpersonal, naturalistic and bodily kinesthetic respectively. Exosystem variables and variables from macrosystem were significantly associated with linguistic, bodily kinesthetic, spatial, naturalistic and existential components of intelligence. Results also revealed that teachers need trainings, guidance and counseling to adopt multiple intelligence approach for classroom teaching as they themselves are not much aware about multiple intelligence.
