Özet:The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on sixth grade students? science achievement, and attitudes towards science. This experimental research was conducted in the 2nd term of 2002 ? 2003 educational year with sixth graders in METU Ankara College Primary School, and lasted for three weeks. A randomly chosen class was assigned to the experimental group and instructed by Multiple Intelligences Science Instruction, and the other randomly chosen class was assigned to the control group and instructed by Traditionally Designed Science Instruction. A total 50 students? scores were used for the analyses. Two classes were instructed with the same teacher. The background of the teacher was sufficient to apply multiple intelligences teaching strategies from the seminars that the teacher had been participated. The measuring tools were Science Achievement Test and Science Attitude Scale. Also an interview were made with the teacher of the groups. The pilot study was conducted with 57 sixth grade students in Atatürk Primary School in Nigde. According to the results of the pilot study, some questions were revised in Science Achievement Test. Science Achievement Test and Science Attitude Scale were administered twice as pretest before the treatment and as posttest after the treatment to both groups to assess and compare the effectiveness of two different types of instruction utilized in science teaching. The data obtained from the posttests were analyzed by statistical techniques of multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA). Results of the statistical analyses indicated that multiple intelligences science instruction was more effective than traditionally designed science instruction with respect to science achievement. However, the statistical analyses failed to show any significant differences between the experimental
