Building a Proposed Instructional Design Model Based on Multiple Intelligences Theory to Teach School Theatre

Abstract

Abstract

This research aims to construct a proposed educational design model based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences for teaching the subject of school theatre, in an attempt to elevate the level of education and achieve the desired educational goals in artistic fields that require the activation of intelligences in an integrated manner. The objective limits were confined to constructing the proposed model, the spatial limits to the University of Babylon / College of Fine Arts, and the temporal limits to the academic year 2025-2026.The research followed the experimental approach. The research population consisted of (120) male and female students from the third stage in the Department of Art Education at the College of Fine Arts, while the research sample amounted to (24) male and female students chosen non-randomly. The researcher adopted an expert evaluation form as the main tool to measure the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The research reached a number of results, most notably presenting an integrated diagram of the proposed educational model that takes into account multiple intelligences in teaching school theatre. The research recommended the necessity of adopting instructional designs based on modern theories, such as the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, when preparing curricula, and encouraging teachers to employ educational theatre to develop students' thinking, expression, and social interaction skills. The research also suggested constructing a training program for teachers according to this theory, and a similar instructional design for developing artistic creativity among students of the Department of Art Education.
