Multiple Intelligences among Education Students

Abstract

This study was conducted during the first semester, Academic Year 2013–2014 at Guimaras State College – Mosqueda Campus. The respondents were the Education students. This study used descriptive correlational research design.

Results revealed that the majority of the respondents were female belonging to age bracket 16–25 years old. Most of them were first year BEEd students. When grouped according to the parents' educational attainment, most of their parents were high school level and whose family income is below the minimum wage (1,301–6,900).

The study further revealed that only the respondents' major field of concentration was the factor which affects their academic performance. Verbal-linguistic, musical, interpersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, and logical-mathematical intelligence have a significant relationship with the academic performance. This means that the respondents were good in some aspects of intelligence but not so good in others. It was also found out among the Education students that verbal-linguistic is the dominant intelligence.
