The Impact of Multiple Intelligences on Teaching Competency and Self-Efficacy in B.Ed. Trainees: A Study in the Indian Context

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of multiple intelligences on teaching competency, and self-efficacy among B.Ed. trainees in the Indian educational context. Using Gardner's theory as a framework, this research explores the interplay between various intelligence types, and their impact on the professional skills of future educators. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving surveys, interviews, and observational data. The findings reveal a significant correlation between specific intelligences, such as interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills, and enhanced teaching performance. Implications for curriculum design, and teacher training programs are discussed.
