Impact of Multiple Intelligence (MI) on Science Process Skills (SPS) among Senior High School Students

Abstract

Intelligence is typically described as our cognitive capacities, which is innate, can be evaluated, and is tough to alter. Individuals, on the other hand, have a variety of intelligences, such as musical, interpersonal, spatial-visual, and linguistic intelligences, which are used to describe the whole range of skills and potential that people have. Thus, this research was focused on investigating common types of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and its impact on science process skills of senior high school students in Ghana. To address this problem, questionnaires were formulated to identify the different multiple intelligences various students subscribe to and whether their individual academic needs were met by their teachers. The sample consisted of 200 senior high school students from both public and private schools. The study showed that when a students’ multiple intelligence is taken into consideration during the teaching and learning process, it has a positive effect on the students and can be a remarkable medium of the multiple intelligences advancement of learners. The study's findings will have a huge impact on instructors' prospective teaching strategies, shifting from academic ability to multiple intelligences and focusing on each learner's individual capability.
