Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of intelligence components in the content of the tenth biology book and the effectiveness of teaching based on it. In the content analysis section, all the content of the book, including text, form, and activity, has been marketed and reviewed in certain categories. The quasi-experimental method was used to assess the effectiveness of teaching based on typesof intelligence in academic achievement. The statistical population included all 10th grade students in Tehran and the statistical sample included 2 classes of 24students. The instrument for measuring academic achievement, the researcher-made test, was 16 questions, with the formal validity of the questions approved by the professors of the field of biology. The design was done as a pretest-posttest with two groups of control and experiment. The results of the content analysis show that the book focuses more on verbal-linguistic intelligence and, at a later stage, on logical-mathematical intelligence. Also, the use of intelligence in content formats and their use in the seasons of the book is not one. Teaching results based on multiple-intelligences show that the experimental group got higher scores compared to the controlgroup, which indicates the effectiveness of experimental intervention
