Abstract

The researcher developed a drug education programme based on Multiple Intelligences Teaching Approach (MITA) and evaluated the effectiveness of same on the attitude of pupils (11 - 13 year old) towards drug. The differential effect of the programme on pupils of different sex and school location were explored. The study, a quasi experimental study involved 91 pupils who were grouped into experimental (taught with the MITA) and control (taught with the usual Traditional Lecture Method) groups. The result revealed that the experimental group had a mean attitude score that was significantly higher than that of the control group. While the MITA had no significant differential effect on pupils' attitude due to sex, its positive impact on healthy attitudinal development was more manifest with urban based pupils. It was concluded that the MITA was more effective than the usual Traditional Lecture Method in helping pupils to develop healthy attitude towards drugs.
