The effect of multiple intelligences training on general self efficacy of high school deaf students

Abstract

The present research investigated the effect of training based on multiple intelligences theory on general self efficacy of deaf students in high school. To reach this end sixty high school deaf students were selected randomly and were assigned equally to the experimental and control groups. The Shearer Questionnaire was administered as pre, post and follow up tests to the experimental and control groups the experimental group received three weeks of training while the control groups did not receive any specific training. Data were analysis utilizing a repeated measure design. Statistical analysis indicated that there were significant gains for experimental group in terms of general self efficacy (p<o/o5). Therefore the beneficial effects of instruction based on multiple intelligence theory on general self efficacy of deaf students is supported in the current research.
