Abstract:
The objective of this research were 1) to create an IPEGS Program 2) to develop a Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence test for primary school students based on Multiple Intelligence Theory and Kinesiology, 3) to study the effectiveness of the IPEGS program on Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence. Participants were 80 primary school students in Grade 5 in the academic year 2018 from Anubanjumpholphonphisai school, Nong Khai. The research instruments included the IPEGS program, Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence test, and the Emotiv Epoc EEG. Data were analyzed by t-test and two-way ANOVA.
The results were as follows: 1) After training, the average accuracy scores of experimental groups were higher than before training (p<.05). In addition, females showed better scores than males, and the high-intelligence group showed better scores than the lower-intelligence group (p<.05) 2) The absolute EEG power of males in the theta band at AF3, F3 and females at AF3, F7; high intelligence group at AF3, F3, F4 and low intelligence group at AF3, F7; alpha band male group at AF3, F3, F8; high intelligence group at AF3, F3, F4; lower beta band female group at FC5, AF4; high intelligence group at F4 and low intelligence group at FC5, AF4; higher beta band female group at FC5, AF4; high intelligence group at AF4 and low intelligence group at AF3, F3, FC5 after training was higher than before training (p<.05). 3) There was an interaction effect between gender and intelligence levels in the theta band at the electrode sites: AF3, FC5 and AF4; the alpha band at the electrode sites: AF3, F3, FC5 and AF4; the lower beta band at the electrode sites: AF3, FC5 and AF4. The theta band was different between genders at the electrode site F7 and upper beta band was different between intelligence levels at the electrode sites: AF3 and AF4.
It was concluded that an IPEGs program could enhance the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence of primary school students.
