Motivation is considered the heart of the learning process that is affected by many factors, among which there is gender. Therefore, the researcher conducted a quantitative research method to investigate the relationship between gender and motivation sub-themes while using problem-based learning. Nine female students and eleven male students of the second baccalaureate level participated in the current research through using the convenience sampling technique. The quasi-experimental research design, a quantitative research method, is used to conduct this study to analyze cause-effect relationships between the variables being studied. Then, the participants were given a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to fill in. The SPSS software was used to analyze data. The findings demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between gender and students’ achievement and motivation sub-themes.
The current study is intended to assess the utility of Multiple Intelligence-Based Approach in improving the English performance of secondary stage learners. It adopts a two groups pre-test-post-test quasi experimental design. The experimental group consists of thirty-four learners of third year junior high school. The control group is composed of thirty-five students. Both groups are evaluated using a pre-test to determine their pre-course performance. The experimental group is taught English using a variety of activities whose goal is to stimulate every single facet of their intelligence during 17 weeks. At the end of the experiment period, a test was assigned for both groups. The groups’ scores were analyzed using T-test. Accordingly, the results unveiled that the proposed MI-based approach had a positive effect on the learners’ English performance. There were significant differences between the means of the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group.
