The effect of teachers’ recreation awareness on interpersonal and kinesthetic intelligence

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of teachers’ recreation awareness on social-interpersonal and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Utilizing a quantitative research method, a correlational survey model was employed. The sample consists of 385 teachers in Rize. Data were collected online via Google Forms using a questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the effect of recreation awareness on social and kinesthetic intelligence, while Pearson correlation analysis identified relationships between variables. According to the findings, all sub-dimensions of recreation awareness were positively and significantly associated with social and kinesthetic intelligence. It was observed that while only the self-improvement sub-dimension of recreation awareness had no significant effect on kinesthetic intelligence, all other dimensions positively influenced social and kinesthetic intelligence.
