The Development of an Instruction Model based on Multiple Intelligences Theory to Enhance Primary Students’ Competency

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop an instruction model based on Multiple Intelligences Theory to enhance primary students’ competency and 2) study primary students’ competency. The sample group was 30 primary students from two schools located in Songkhla province. The research was conducted during the first semester of the 2023 academic year.  The research process consisted of two steps: step 1, developing an instruction model based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory, and step 2, testing the instruction model based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory. The instruments used in the study included 1) the plans for developing competency according to the instruction model based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory, 2) a competency assessment form, 3) in-depth interview forms, and 4) a focus group. Quantitative data analysis was conducted by calculating percentages (%), while qualitative data analysis was performed through content analysis. The validity of the data was verified using the triangulation method.
