EXAMINING THE EFFICACY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE-BASED PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES ON MALES IN ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS

In education, teachers often struggle with keeping students on task during independent work time.This is especially true for male students.Howard Gardner (1983) established a theory of multiple intelligences, asserting that each individual student learns in a unique way.The purpose of this mixed methods research study was to examine the effect of integrating multiple intelligence based teaching strategies on third grade male students and teachers.
