Abstract: DINGLASAN, WENNY ROSE 1. Multiple Intelligences and Academic Performance in Mathematics of BS Applied Mathematics Students. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics with specialization in Statistics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Prof. Gemma S. Legaspi. This study determined the relationship between the multiple intelligences of BS Applied Mathematics students and their academic performance in Mathematics. This study specifically aimed to describe the respondents' level of eight multiple intelligences, the natural, musical/rhythmic, logical/mathematical, interpersonal, kinesthetic/bodily, verbal/linguistic, intrapersonal, and visual/spatial; determine the respondents' level of academic performance in Mathematics; and relate the multiple intelligences of respondents to their academic performance in Mathematics. This was conducted to all BS Applied Mathematics students enrolled during the first semester of school year 2014-2015 in Cavite State University, Don Severino De las Alas Campus, Indang, Cavite. The variables under consideration were the eight multiple intelligences and academic performance in Mathematics. Descriptive correlational research was used in the study to determine the relationship between the multiple intelligences and with the respondents' academic performance in mathematics. A survey test was administered to determine the level of eight multiple intelligences of the respondents. The respondents' academic performance in mathematics in their senior high school year was also obtained and considered to determine the level of their performance in the subject. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were the mean, standard deviation, and Stepwise Pearson Correlation. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The respondents possess all the eight intelligences, but some are dominant than the others. Their most prominent multiple intelligences are musical while the least prominent is naturalistic having a mean of 3.455 and 2.785 respectively. All of the multiple intelligences of the respondents were on average level. Moreover, the level of academic performance in mathematics of the respondents is at very good having an average of 89.255%. Furthermore, among the eight multiple intelligences considered in the study, the musical/rhythmic, logical/mathematical, linguistic, and spatial/visual are found to be significantly related to academic performance in Mathematics. Hence, the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between academic performance in mathematics and scores in the multiple intelligences such as naturalistic, kinesthetic/bodily, interpersonal, and intrapersonal was accepted while the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between academic performance in mathematics and scores in the multiple intelligences such as musical, logical, linguistic and visual was rejected. In the light of the conclusion of the study, the researcher recommended that: (1) since musical, logical, linguistic and visual were the only the multiple intelligences that found to be significantly related to performance in mathematics it is recommended to conduct a follow up study to justify this assertion and consider different set of respondents; (2) a similar exam in mathematics must be prepared to evaluate the respondents' performance in mathematics very well since it was known that respondents' came from different secondary schools with different curriculum (science or regular) where these differ too in mathematics subject being taught during the respondents' senior year; (3) knowing the result that students differ on their possessed intelligences, an intervention program may be developed to incorporate multiple intelligences in teaching subjects especially with mathematics; (4) students vary on the possessed intelligences,
