ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to evolve a cooperative learning strategy using teaching-learning activities prepared according to Multiple Intelligences Theory and study the impact on scholastic achievement of students. The study has been carried out on 6th grade students who did not show any improvement in an intervention programme especially with respect to scholastic achievement. Data was collected from 16 students of 6th grade by following purposive sampling technique. Data was subjected to statistical analysis by using mean and t- test. The findings indicate that when cooperative learning opportunities are combined in the curriculum by using Multiple Intelligences theory, students’ scholastic achievement in various subjects will be improved. It has been recommended to follow the same teaching-learning approach to improve the scholastic achievement of students at school level.
