The study aimed to investigate the differences between Gardener’s multiple intelligences among freshman students enrolled at UNRWA higher education institutes in Jordan. To achieve the aim of the study the multiple intelligences scale was applied after having checked its psychometric traits on a random sample consisting of (515) male and female students among whom are (103) males and (412) females. Results of the study showed that among the most popular types of intelligence amongst the scrutinized sample are: Verbal intelligence, Personal intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, Emotional intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Mathematical-logical intelligence, Natural intelligence, and finally Musical intelligence. The degree of possessing these types of intelligences amongst the sample individuals was not within the satisfactory average score identified in the study as the cut-off point or the cutting score. The results of the study also showed that there were statistically significant differences in terms of gender in mathematical-logical intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and emotional intelligence in favour of the females. The difference in musical intelligence was in favour of the males. The two sexes were equal in the verbal intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, personal intelligence, natural intelligence and general intelligence. The study revealed that there was a correlated relationship between all the types of multiple intelligences and academic achievement except for the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence and natural intelligence. The study put forward some recommendations the most significant of which are conducting further similar studies on sample students from Jordanian universities taking into account a variety of variables. هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى استقصاء الفروق في الذكاء المتعدد لجاردنر لدى طلبة السنة الدراسية الأولى في مؤسسات التعليم العالي في وكالة الغوث الدولية في الأردن. ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة تم تطبيق مقياس الذكاء المتعدد بعد التحقق من خصائصه السيكومترية على عينة عشوائية مكونة من (515) طالباً وطالبة منهم (103) ذكور و (412) إناث. وباستخدام المتوسطات الحسابية والانحرافات المعيارية أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن أكثر أنواع الذكاء شيوعاً هي: الذكاء اللغوي، فالشخصي، فالحركي- البدني، فالوجودي، فالبينشخصي، فالمكاني، فالرياضي-المنطقي، فالطبيعي، وأخيراً الموسيقي، كما أن درجة امتلاك هذه الأنواع لم تكن ضمن المتوسط الحسابي المقبول للعينة معبراً عنها بدرجة القطع. كما أظهرت النتائج باستخدام اختبار (ت) وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية تبعاً لمتغير الجنس في الذكاء الرياضي- المنطقي، والمكاني، والبينشخصي، والوجودي لصالح الإناث، فيما كان الفرق في الذكاء الموسيقي لصالح الذكور، وتساوى الجنسان في الذكاء اللغوي، والحركي- البدني، والشخصي، والطبيعي، والكلي. ووجدت علاقة ارتباطية باستخدام معامل ارتباط بيرسون بين جميع أنواع الذكاء المتعدد والتحصيل الدراسي للطلبة المدروسين باستثناء كل من الذكاء الحركي- البدني والمكاني والطبيعي. وخلصت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من التوصيات كان من أهمها إجراء مزيد من الدراسات المشابهة على عينات من طلبة الجامعات الأردنية وفق مجموعة من المتغيرات.
This study aimed at investigating common thinking styles in the light of the theory of the mental self-government amongst students at Jordanian universities. To achieve this aim, the Thinking Styles Scale which was developed by Sternberg and Wagner, and its verified psychometric characteristics were used. The study sample consisted of (1174) students, of whom (402) from scientific faculties, and (772) from humanistic faculties. Results of the study showed the prevalence of the conservative style, the local style, and the monarchic, while the less common styles are: the legislative, the hierarchical, and the external. The study revealed that there were statistically significant differences between students’ means of scores on the judicial, monarchic, oligarchic and external styles attributed to gender in favor of the males on each of the judicial, oligarchic and external, and in favor of the females on the monarchic style. There were statistically significant differences between students’ means of scores on the judicial, local, progressive, hierarchical, and oligarchic thinking styles attributed to the students’ specialization in favor of students in scientific faculties in the oligarchic style, and for humanistic faculties in the other styles, and there was a weak positive correlation between the students’ GPA and some thinking styles. The study proposes some recommendations such as: developing the scale of Sternberg and Wagner on the Jordanian environment, and exploring its predictive value in light of different variables. هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى استقصاء أساليب التفكير الشائعة في ضوء نظرية حكومة الذات العقلية لدى طلبة الجامعات الأردنية، ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدام قائمة أساليب التفكير المطورة من قبل كل من ستيرنبيرغ وواجنر Sternberg & Wagner بصورتها المطولة بعد التأكد من خصائصها السيكومترية، وتكونت عينة الدراسة من 1174 طالباً وطالبة منهم 402 يمثلون الكليات العلمية، و772 يمثلون الكليات الإنسانية، وكان من أبرز نتائج الدراسة شيوع الأسلوب المحافظ، فالأسلوب المحلي، ثم الملكي، في حين كانت أقل الأساليب شيوعاً هي: الأسلوب التشريعي، فالهرمي، فالخارجي، وظهرت فروق دالة إحصائياً بين متوسطات درجات الطلبة على الأسلوب القضائي والملكي والأقلي والخارجي تعزى لمتغير الجنس، لصالح الذكور على كل من الأسلوب القضائي والأقلي والخارجي، ولصالح الإناث على الأسلوب الملكي، ووجدت فروق بين متوسطات درجات الطلبة على الأسلوب القضائي والمحلي والتقدمي والهرمي والأقلي تعزى لمتغير التخصص الدراسي، لصالح طلبة الكليات العلمية على الأسلوب الأقلي، ولصالح طلبة الكليات الإنسانية على الأساليب الأخرى، وظهرت علاقة ارتباطية ضعيفة بين المعدل التراكمي وبعض أساليب التفكير، وقد انتهت الدراسة بعدد من التوصيات أبرزها: تقنين مقياس أساليب التفكير لستيرنبيرغ وواجنر على البيئة الأردنية، واستقصاء القيمة التنبؤية لمقياس أساليب التفكير لستيرنبيرغ وواجنر مع متغيرات أخرى.
Objectives: The purpose of the current study is to investigate the level of general education teachers’ employment of brain-based learning theory in light of some variables. Methods: Descriptive Survey Research has been used. The study sample consists of (410) participants; (110) male teachers and (300) female teachers. To achieve the study objectives, the Brain-Based Learning Survey is used after verifying its psychometric characteristics. Results: The results indicate that the degree of using brain learning by the general education teachers is on average across all three domains and on the total score. The analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences in gender in domain 2 (beliefs) and 3 (practice) and the total score of the use of the general education teachers’ measurement scale for brain-based learning. All differences are for females. The impact of ETA was low on the gender variable in beliefs (0.028) and in practice (0.013) and the total score (0.024). There are no statistically significant differences due to variable experience and scientific qualification. Conclusions: The study concluded with a set of recommendations, of which the most significant is inclusion of the theory principles in the academic curriculum and training teachers on how to use it effectively. Also, studies related to using the principles of brain-based learning theory in light of new variables are needed.
The current study aimed to investigate the differences in the learning motivation based on self-determination theory of students in educational sciences faculties at Jordanian universities, to achieve this goal, a scale of learning motivation based on self-determination theory was applied, to a random sample of (803) students, (292) males and (511) females. results showed that level of internal motivation to learn based on self-determination theory was medium in general, and it was significant on each of two subscales: the effort and importance, and the value and interest, it was medium on the rest subscales. It appeared that there were significant differences between males and females on the third subscale (effort and importance), and on the seventh subscale (relation), in favor of females, while no significant differences were found on the rest subscales and the overall scale. The study showed statistically significant effect of the academic level on every subscale and on the overall scale. Statistically significant correlation was found between the average, and all of the following subscales: the first (pleasure and interest), second (perceived competence), third (importance and effort), and seventh (the relationship) and the overall scale.
