| Summary: | <p>This study aimed at modelling the relationship between multiple-intelligence and thinking</p><p>skills and its influence on developing patterns of thinking among the 10th-grade students in</p><p>private schools in Abu Dhabi. The researcher used descriptive approach. Structure equation</p><p>modelling was used in analysing correlation coefficients between variables to direct or</p><p>indirect effects, as well as evaluating the relative importance of independent variables in</p><p>interpreting the total variation of the dependent variable. The study sample constitutes of 350</p><p>students from five private schools in Abu Dhabi. The study used three instruments, namely</p><p>Gardners multiple-intelligence scale, the thinking skills scale, and the thinking patterns</p><p>scale. Data were also analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient and Amos.</p><p>The results showed significant positive relationship between multiple intelligences (IV) and</p><p>thinking patterns (DV) through critical thinking as the MV. A direct relationship was found</p><p>between linguistic intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) (r=.284) as well as a positive</p><p>relationship between social intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.241),</p><p>natural intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.113), musical intelligence</p><p>(IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.270), and between bodily-kinaesthetic</p><p>intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.470). However, in the case of</p><p>creative thinking is the MV, the results showed that there is a significant positive relationship</p><p>between social intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.241). While it was</p><p>found between natural intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.113), musical</p><p>intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.000), and between bodilykinaesthetic</p><p>intelligence (IV) and thinking patterns (DV) directly (r=.000). These findings</p><p>reveal the relationship between multiple-intelligence and thinking skills and their influence</p><p>on developing patterns. The study recommended conducting more similar studies in</p><p>government schools, as well as in other school levels and in other academic levels.</p> |
