Primary education does not only mean a classroom, books and a teacher but creating an environment where a child can learn new things every day and help in bringing out best within a child. The literature reveals that studentoften struggle to learn in a traditional classroom where rote learning is given more importance. Learning will be successful when the child enjoys it. To make learning enjoyable and interesting, teachers should tailor the curriculum according to the chiintelligence profile. Therefore, Multiple Intelligences Theory, a brainchild of Dr. Howard Gardner (1983) has opened the doors to many children. There are eight intelligences – Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence, Logical/Mathematical Intelligence, MusicalIntelligence, Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence, Visual/Spatial Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Naturalistic Intelligence. Children at this age have the ability to think conceptually and abstractly and capalogical or numerical patterns. Hence the teacher should encourage the children’s thinking ability through the curriculum in a classroom.

Education, especially at primary level is given paramount importance in Indian educational system as

foundation for fruitful future. Primary education does not only mean a classroom, books and a teacher but creating an environment where a child can learn new things every day and help in bringing out best within a child. The literature reveals that students often struggle to learn in a traditional classroom where rote learning is given more importance.

Learning will be successful when the child enjoys it. To make learning enjoyable and interesting, teachers should tailor the curriculum according to the child’s intelligence profile.

Children at this age have the ability to think conceptually and abstractly and capacity to discern logical or numerical patterns. Hence the teacher should encourage the children’s thinking ability through the curriculum in a classroom.

According to the Reena (2000), "Recognizing Logical Intelligence enhances the optimum growth and development of intellectual skills of children”. The teachers can facilitate teaching learning through the use of brain teasers, problem solving, experiments, mental calculation, number games, critical thinking, cause/effect relationship in their tas well as while giving them their assignments. (Madhumita, 2016). Teaching logical learners requires logical and numerical pattern-oriented lesson planning. When curriculum is imparted in this method children are benefited as follows: � Allowing the learners to be recognized and

rewarded for their strengths; � Provides opportunities for learners to adapt their

studies to their interests and learning preferences;� Reduces the chances of boredom by offering a

variety of activities; and � Provides a teaching/learning methodology that

works. Hence, this study has made an attempt to impart social science curriculum with Logical/Mathematical Intelligence activities and to find out its effect on active learning among elementary school children. METHODOLOGY Aim: To find out the Influence of Logical/Mathematical Intelligence Intervention to foster Active Learning for the Social Science curriculum among the Elementary School ChildrenObjectives: � To profile the logical intelligence and active

learning of elementary school children.� To develop educational modules on social science

curriculum using logical intelligence activities.� To administer the developed modules to the

Research Design Phase I– Identification/development of tools An extensive survey was carried out to identify the most appropriate tools. The investigator has done a thorough review of literature and a market survey of availability of Multiple Intelligences scale and Active Learning scale. As researcher was not able to get the suitable scales for the present study, both Multiple Intelligences and Active Learning scales were developed. The internal consistency for Multiple Intelligences Inventory was 0.729 and for Active Learning scale 0.827 for Cronbach’s alpha. The reliability for Multiple Intelligences Inventory was 0.638 and Active Learning scale 0.921 for splitcorrelation, indicating high reliability of the scales. Phase II – Identification of schoolsA survey of both Private and Government elementary schools in Bangalore city was carried out to identify the schools for the research program. The researcher wanted two schools – one for experimental and another for control group. The management of the schools which showed keen interest and readily gave the permission to conduct the intervention program during the class hours was considered for the experimental group. Another school which was situated far away from the experimental school and willing to take participation in thselected as a control group to avoid the spilleffect of the intervention program. Thus, Ramanashree Udaya Education Society was selected for the experimental study and Seshadripuram School was taken as the control group study. Phase III: Selection of sampleFrom the Elementary schools identified in the previous phase, 50 children studying in sixth grade from Ramanashree Udaya Education Society were randomly selected for the experimental group and similarly 50 children studying in sSeshadripuram School, was identified as a control group.

PHASE IV: Pre-test Assessment Initially a pre-test was conducted on the selected group for the study to understand the type of Multiple Intelligences prevailing and levels of Activeof sixth grade children by administrating both Multiple Intelligences Inventory and Active Learning scales. After MI pre-assessment it was observed that children had logical intelligence as dominant intelligence. PHASE V: Teaching-Learning MaterDevelopment For the development the Teaching-Learning Materials (TLMs) the researcher wanted to focus on one subject. After deliberation with the class teachers it was found that Social Science subject was perceived as a difficult subject by the students and hence the academic scores were also low for this subject as compare to other subjects. Hence researcher identified Social Science subject for intervention and the Teaching-Learning Materials (TLMs) were designed and developed based on the identified dominant

The Table 3 and Figure 1 depicts the pre and post assessment of active learning among the experimental group respondents. When the above data was subjected to statistical analysis, it indicated a significant difference between the pre and postactive learning mean scores for all the aspects of active learning, as follows: Do (Pre-test 14.82 to Posttest 22.94); Review (Pre-test 4.74 to PostLearn (Pre-test 7.52 to Post-test 13.92); and Apply (Pre-test 3.88 to Post-test 8.96) with postshowing higher than the pre-test scores. Hence when the above data was subjected to find out the statistical significant differences between pre and postscores for all the aspects of active learning, a strongly significant difference was observed at 5% level indicating intervention was very effective in nurturing active learning skills among the respondents. Hence, the hypothesis (1) stating that there was no significant difference between the pre and postscores of experimental group respondents on all the aspects of active learning considered for the study was rejected.

The Table 5 and Figure 2 exemplifies the post assessment scores of active learning among the experimental and control group respondents. The respondents of the experimental group were introduced to the intervention program while the control group respondents were not. When the above data was subjected to statistical analysis, a significant difference was observed between the experimental and control group respondents on all the aspects of active learning mean scores. The mean scores of experimental group respondents were higher than the mean scores obtained by the control group respondents. Thus, when the above data subjected to find the statistical significant differences between experimental and control group respondents’ a significant difference at 5% level was noted for all the aspects of Active Learning. Hence, the hypothesis (2) stating that there was no significant difference of the mean scolearning between the experimental group and control group children on all the aspects of active learning considered for the study was rejected.

CONCLUSION The present study shows the Logical Intelligence intervention for social science curriculum was found to have a significant effect on the Active Learning among the elementary school children. Children tend to be more innovative and explorative during this stage of life, hence the logical intelligence educational activities have opened new doors to explore their learning atmosphere and encourage their thought process. Identifying the dominant intelligence in the children and helping them to recognize their own potentials and incorporate these activities in teaching learning of social sciences will enhance their academics.
