Abstract

Motor proficiency is a broad concept that refers to the ability to perform various motor skills in a consistent and proficient manner. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between motor skills and multiple intelligences and academic performance. The statistical population consisted of 7 to 10 year old children in Tabriz in the academic year of 1998-99 that 114 children were selected as a sample by random cluster sampling. To measure motor proficiency test Ozertsy Bruininks to measure multiple intelligences Gardner's Multiple Intelligences questionnaire and to measure academic performance scores were used to at the end of the school year. Findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the components of multiple intelligences with academic performance and motor skills in a number of cases. Also, a positive and significant correlation was observed between academic courses and subtests of motor proficiency And there was a significant relationship between academic scores (cognitive aspect) with motor skills that have more cognitive motor aspect than skills that have mainly motor aspect. By involving multiple intelligences in educational and motor environments in which children are active and exploratory, it will have a significant impact on children's academic performance and motor skills.
