In the retention test conducted after 3 weeks from the date of the research, it has been determined that there
is a significant difference between the experimental group that taught according to the multiple intelligences
theory and the control group which taught according to the traditional method; and this difference has been
found to be in favor of the experimental group. The research findings demonstrate that the education based on
the theory of multiple intelligences affect the permanence of information more positively than traditional
methods of teaching. This result obtained from the retention test is in line with the studies of Altuntaş, 2007;
Etli, 2007; Öner 2005; Uçak, 2006.
