Abstract

The study aimed at exploring the potential for predicting dialogue skill in light of multiple intelligences among faculty of education students at Al-Aqsa University besides recognizing the levels of their multiple intelligences and dialogue skill attributable to gender and academic majority. The study sample was composed of (365) male and female students. The study used the multiple intelligences checklist and the dialogue skill scale developed by the two researchers. The findings showed that the intrapersonal intelligence level was high with a mean of 4.04, followed by the existential intelligence with a mean of 3.808 and the means of both types of intelligence exceeded 3.75 (75%) as a supposed level. It was also revealed that the dialogue skill level was high with a mean of 3.177 exceeding 3 (75%) as a supposed level. Additionally, it was found that linguistic intelligence came sixth among Arabic language majors and seventh among English majors; logical-mathematical intelligence came fifth among math majors; and natural intelligence came seventh among social studies majors and sixth among science teaching majors. The study also revealed that the intrapersonal and logical-mathematical intelligences were the biggest predictors of dialogue skill, and that while there were statically significant differences in (logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-Kinesthetic, interpersonal, natural, and existential intelligences) in favor of males, there were non statistically significant differences in linguistic, intrapersonal, and musical intelligences that could be attributed to gender. There were also non statically significant differences in dialogue skill attributed to gender.
