Abstract

This research multicorrelated logical-mathematical multiple intelligence and its subscales with scientific achievement, of high school studentes from coeducational,humanistics-scientific Liceos Valparaiso, chile,1999.A randomsample considered 3 institutions (Eduardo de la Barra; Valparaíso; and barón) with 18 courses and 633 10th graders. data consisited of Shearer's MIDAS (Multiple Intelligence Developmental Scales) questionnaire scores, and final 1999 grade point averages. Thirty multiple correlation coefficients using full and stepwise models, were computed. They ranged from  R=0,2778 (F=52,770;p=7,000E-13) hasta un R=0,6019 (F=71,221;p=1,900E-13). Thus, logical-mathematical multiple intelligence and its subscales (strategic games; everyday skill with math; everyday probelm solving; school math; science) explained from 7,72% to 36,22% of students' scientific learning variances. In all computed multiple determination coefficients, school math factor was the most statistically significant predictor.
