RELATIONSIP BETWEEN LOGICAL-MATEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVE PROCESS OF MIDDLE SCOOL STUDENTS
Abstract
- The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the logical-mathematical intelligence and creative process of middle school students. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in this study. A total of 804 Grade 6 and Grade 7 students from each district of Yangon Region participated as the sample of the study using stratified random sampling technique. For this study, Mathematical Intelligence test ( = 0.79)(Moe Moe Naing, 2008) and Creative Process Questionnaire ( = 0.66) developed by Whetton and Cameron (2011) and Chen, Runco, Lin and Chiou (2008) were used as instruments. After conducting the statistical analysis, the findings revealed that there was a significantly positive relationship between logical-mathematical intelligence and creative process (r=0.094). For logical-mathematical intelligence, there were significant differences as gender, grade level and region. Difference in creative process was found only in school. Female students were higher than male students in mathematical intelligence and Grade 7 students performed better than Grade 6 students in mathematical intelligence. As the result of ANOVA, students from all other schools outperformed on creative process than students from Yankin Teacher Training Centre. According to the interview results, most of the students (more than 57%) showed negative behaviors and characteristics, with no interest in Mathematics and they weren’t enjoyable to participate in taking Mathematical Intelligence Test. And, most of the students (about 75%) showed that they had positive and desirable behaviors and motivation in creative process, even though there was no chance to create in real life situations.
