The effects of education activities that are prepared according to the theory of multiple intelligences on 9th class students' success of biology and the knowledge that are learned

In the Research, the feasibility of the Multiple Intelligences Theory in the education of Biology and its effects on students? success and permanence of the knowledge that are learned have been evaluated. The people who have taken part in the research are the students that takes biology lesson in high schools. The Studentes groups that have taken part in the Research are Students of 9A and 9D in Hakkâri High School. While 9A is the experiment group, 9D is the control group. The number of the Students in the study groups is seventy two. In the research, a pre-test and a final-test have been used for experiment and control groups. One mounth later, the final-test has been done again as a permanence test. The differences between the success points of experiment and control groups have been controlled with a ?t? test. In the Research, significance/meaningfullness level has been accepted as .05. At the and of the research; 1) In the application process that has been carried on by a lesson plan prepared according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory, it has been observed that the Studentes have taken part in lessons actively, they have showed concern for the different methods and materials and they have got impressed by the applications. 2) While there isn?t a significant difference between the pre-test points of the groups, a significant difference has been seen between their final test points in favour of experiment group. It has been seen that the activities that has been prepared according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory has effected the students? success positively. 3) It the has been determined that there is a significant difference between the final test and the permanence test points of the control group but there isn?t a significant difference between the final test and permanence test points of the experiment group. It has been seen that the knowledge that have been learned by the activities according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory are more permanant than the ones that have been learned according to the traditional methods. At the end of the research, there are some suggestions that are made by researcher according to the data.
