An experimental study about the effect of multiple inteligence applications on students´ apprehending what is being read and written expression skills in teaching of Turkish lesson at fourth class of primary school

The effect of multiple inteligence theory on apprehending what is being read and written expression skills in teaching of turkish lesson was investigated in this study.The investigation was applied on all fourth classes at Dagmarmara Niyazi Uzmez primary school in Turgutlu township of Manisa city in Turkey during second school period of 2010-2011 educational term.
