Abstract:

Secondary education exposes students to the contributions of science, humanities and social sciences to the development of a nation. Because of its central role in the advancement of science and technology, mathematics has traditionally been accorded a high status in the curriculum across all academic levels. Gardner began a systematic, interdisciplinary, and scientific investigation of intelligence, pulling from fields as diverse as psychology, biology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and the arts and humanities. Everyone has the potential to learn, but not everyone will learn at the same time or in the same way. Intelligence is demonstrated by seeing a need and creating a solution that meets that need or benefits a larger community. Multiple Intelligence is more important in today's high-tech society. Students can start to grasp their own intelligence when the notion of multiple intelligences is applied to them. Therefore, the researcher reasoned that it would be beneficial to look into the link between Multiple Intelligences and mathematical success. The sample of the population was chosen using a stratified random sampling method by the researcher. Stratification was performed according to gender, socioeconomic status, and educational background. The 200 high school students in the sample represent eight different schools, and it is clear that both the Multiple Intelligence and academic accomplishment levels of these students are around average.

Keywords: Secondary Education; Multiple Intelligences; Mathematics; Achievement; Logical-Mathematical Intelligence; School Students; Arts and Humanities.
