The aim of the research is to investigate whether "Teaching Mathematics for the 2nd grade of elementary school in an appropriate way for the theory of multiple intelligences on geometric subjects" has any impact on students’ academic achievement or not. The research is an experimental study and it was conducted with the students of the 2nd grade class in a primary school in Küçükçekmece province of Istanbul in 2016-2017 education year. A total of 60 students participated in the research, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. In the control group, while the subject "geometric objects" was taught using traditional methods, the same subject in the experimental group was taught by curriculums prepared in accordance with the Multiple Intelligence Theory. The study lasted for 4 weeks together with the applications of test development, pre-test, post-test and course work. The application was performed by researchers. The data obtained from the application were evaluated in the SPSS 22 Program. As a result of the evaluations made, it was concluded that the lesson which was taught by using the curriculums prepared according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory had a more positive effect on student achievement compared to the lesson which was taught using traditional methods.Keywords: Multiple Intelligence Theory, Mathematics, Geometry, Academic Achievement

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of teaching activities prepared with brain based learning model on mathematics success of primary school students. In the study, pre-test-post-test and permanence test half-experimental design with control group was used. The participants of the experiment consist of total 91 fourth-grade primary school student's continuing education in İstanbul, and also taking part in experimental and control groups. Data were collected by using "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researchers and "Mathematics Achievement Test About the Subject of Natural Numbers in the Fourth Grade" also developed by the researchers. To analyze data, it was used for SPSS package program. According to the findings of the research, a significant difference has been found in favor of the experimental group regarding mathematics achievement of the fourth grade students and persistence of knowledge they have learned. This study, derived from master's thesis "The effect of activities congruent with brain-based learning model on students' mathematical achievement", has been prepared based on the master's thesis written by the first author in Asst. Prof.

Öz. Araştırmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenlerinin yaratıcılığı destekleyici davranışlarının farklı değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Tarama modelinde olan araştırmanın örneklemini Kahramanmaraş ilinde görev yapmakta olan 80 sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen "Öğretmen Bilgi Formu" ve Soh (2000) tarafından geliştirilen ve Dikici (2013) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan "Yaratıcılığı Destekleyen Öğretmen İndeksi Ölçeği" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapmanın yanı sıra bağımsız örneklemler t testi, Mann Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis H testi istatistik yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda araştırmaya katılan sınıf öğretmenlerinin sınıf-içi eğitim öğretim sürecinde yüksek düzeyde yaratıcılığı destekleyici davranışlar gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Öğretmenlerin yaratıcılığı destekleyici davranış gösterme düzeyleri ile medeni durumları, cinsiyetleri, eğitim durumları, okuttukları sınıf düzeyi ve eğitim teknolojisi kullanım sıklıkları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmazken; öğretmenlerin mezun oldukları okul ile yaratıcılığı destekleyici davranış gösterme düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur.
