Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Scientific Creativity is an important concept in the context of the emerging need for solutions of different scientific problems. The world is challengingly facing many environmental threats which demands scientific solutions. The rote learning methods are not sufficient to face such challenges. So the educated community should think about creative pupils who can come up with excellent ideas and machineries. It is necessary to be novel in ideas and creations. Multiple Intelligence is of more importance because one pupil may not come up with different capacities but a classroom contains pupils of different capacities. The teachers can train the pupils by identifying the dominating intellectual abilities. Nowadays many governmental and non- governmental parties are coming to school to extend their helping hands to make the ideas into reality. The present study is a trial to find out the correlation between Scientific Creativity and Multiple Intelligences among ninth standard pupils of Kerala. The sample collected for this contains 954 ninth standard pupils from randomly selected government and government aided schools of Kerala. The method used for this study is survey method. Psychological tools used for the present study were Scientific Creativity Test (SCT) and Multiple Intelligence Scale (MIS). Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation has shown that there is significant positive correlation between Scientific Creativity (Total) and Multiple Intelligence (Total) and the seven components. Existential Intelligence is correlated with Scientific Creativity at 0.05 level of significance. There is no significant correlation between Scientific Creativity and Visual/Spatial Intelligence. The study proved that there exists significant correlation between components of Scientific Creativity (Fluency, Flexibility and Originality) and Multiple Intelligence.
