 Background of the Study

In greater detail, the theory proposes that "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-
mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, and the use of the body to solve problems or
to make things, an understanding of other individuals and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals
differ is in the strength of these intelligences and the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and
combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains."
The theory of performance challenges educators to improve their performance through empowerment to
help others learn effectively and grow. This type of learning will foster quick success and produce knowledge
that will influence society. Inferring from the study of Wiske (1998), performance indicates learning for
understanding.
This study aims to examine the relationship between academic performance with multiple intelligence
scores of Grade 12 Stem students of Tacurong National High school. Results contribute awareness to the
self-knowledge and self-efficacy of the students as well as to develop suggestions for programs to enhance
their academic performance levels and to be a reference for further studies. Hence, this study will be
conducted.
 Research Objectives

Generally, this study focuses on academic standing and performance differences in multiple
intelligences.

Specifically, this study is undertaken to answer the following questions.

1. What is the Socio-demographic profile of respondents in terms of:

1.1 Age 1.2 Gender 1.3 Religion

1.4 GPA (80-85,86-90,91-95,96-100)

2. What is the student’s academic performance level for the first quarter of the school year 2022-
2023?

2.1 Level of Knowledge 2.2 Level of Skills

2.3 Level of Identity 2.4 Personal Factors
2.5 Fixed Factors 2.6 Context of Performance
 Research Objectives

3. What is the level of students’ Multiple Intelligences in terms of:

3.1 Musical-Rhythmic 3.2 Visual-Spatial
3.3 Verbal-Linguistic 3.4 Logical-Mathematical
3.5 Bodily-Kinesthetic 3.6 Interpersonal
3.7 Intrapersonal 3.8 Naturalistic
4. Is there a significant relationship exists between the student’s level of Multiple Intelligence and
Academic Performance?

Hypothesis

Ho: There is no significant relationship exists between the student’s level of Multiple Intelligence
and Academic Performance.
 Significance of the study

This study will be carried out to determine how important it is to define students' MI fields to
discover the easiest learning method. Outcomes of determining students’ MI studies may be also
useful aspects of curriculum and instruction. This approach would boost students' self-esteem while
also improving their academic performance, skills and abilities.
The importance of this research is for us to know how academic performances are related to the
multiple intelligences of STEM students. The result of this study will be useful for the following:

 Students

 Teachers

 Curriculum developers
 Theoretical Framework

The Multiple Intelligence Theory of Howard Gardner (1983), who introduced the concept of
multiple intelligence in his book Frames of Mind, Gardner defined intelligence as the capacity
employed by an individual or group in one or more cultural environments to create products of value or
to solve problems (Ersoy & Uysal, 2018; Gardner, 1983).

The Theory of Performance (ToP) Elger (2007), develops and relates six foundational concepts to
form a framework that can be used to explain performance as well as performance improvements.
The current level of performance depends holistically on 6 components: context, level of knowledge,
levels of skills, level of identity, personal factors, and fixed factors.

 METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This research utilizes a quantitative research design using a descriptive-correlational approach. Where data

will concern the multiple intelligences and academic performance of Grade 12 STEM students in Tacurong National

High School.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents to this research study are exclusively the students of Tacurong National High School's

STEM strand, particularly those in Grade 12. With the total number of respondents of 123 as per the result of the

sample size calculation. The STEM strand consists of three sections, and the researchers will select 41 respondents

from each section.

 Locale of the Study

A location map showing the locale of the study is shown in Figures 1 and 2.

 Sampling Procedure

The sampling technique that the researchers will use in this

study is the random sampling technique. It is a type of probability
sampling in which the researcher randomly selects a subset of
participants from a population.
In this study, respondents will be randomly selected,
particularly those who are Grade 12 STEM students of Tacurong
National High School. Students ranging from 16 to 19 years old
will be considered respondents. Respondents have the right to
withdraw at any time if they are uncomfortable or under pressure
in answering the checklist questionnaires.
 Data Gathering Procedure

Researchers follow a step-by-step process in order to conduct research studies in a structured

and systematic manner.

 Seek permission from the authorities of the school.

(A) Distribute the data-gathering instrument.

(B) Collect and retrieve the data-gathering instruments.

(C) Review the gathered data if there are no answered checklists.

(E) Tally and analyze the gathered data.

 Research Instruments

The study will collect data on Multiple Intelligences and Academic

Performance through survey questionnaires and the part of the instrument was
adopted.

 Statistical Analysis

To determine the level of skills of Grade 12 STEM students in their multiple intelligences

and academic performance, this study will utilize the mean score of the multiple

intelligences and academic performance. The researchers will also use the Pearson

product-moment Correlation to establish the significance of the relationship between

multiple intelligence and academic performance.

 Ethical Considerations

The data that the researchers will gather from the respondents will be kept hidden for

confidentiality. The researchers must be humble and respectful in terms of giving instructions to the

respondents.

The willingness of participants to participate in this study is taken into account without any kind of

pressure, coercion, or restriction. Adequate and exact information is based on the information that the

participants provided.
