Multiple Intelligences Action Research
Introduction
American
schools have traditionally favored those students who excel in the
linguistic and analytical arenas because these skills are highly valued
in our culture. Unfortunately, this traditional approach leaves certain
students behind to stumble blindly through an educational system that
ignores their unique abilities. This action research study seeks to
show that instructional activities that incorporate the multiple
intelligences can improve students' attitudes toward learning and
students' academic achievement in English class.

Hypothesis
According to
literature on the multiple intelligences (Campbell, 1997;
Campbell, Campbell, & Dickinson, 1992; Smagorinsky, 1991, 1995a,
1995b, & 1996; Smagorinsky & Coppock 1994 & 1995) the four
multiple intelligences instructional activities that incorporate the
multiple intelligences will improve students' attitudes toward learning
and their academic achievement in English.
Alternative
Hypothesis
The four multiple
intelligences instructional activities that
incorporate the multiple intelligences will have no effect on students'
attitudes toward learning and their academic achievement in English.
