dc.description.abstractThe purpose of conducting this study was to adapt the Multiple Intelligence Development Assessment Scale (MIDAS), and then validate the Arabic version. Besides, in order to determine the relationship between the results of the two modes of MIDAS assessment, a comparison is made between the students' self-reports and the teachers' rating of the students’ intelligence. Two groups of sample were selected in this study; the first group consisted of 1,404 students from 13 secondary schools in Jordan in order to validate the Arabic version of MIDAS. In addition, the second group consisted of 16 teachers and their 48 students from two selected secondary schools in order to compare the results of the two modes of MIDAS assessment. The conceptual framework for the validation of Arabic MIDAS and the comparison of the results between the two modes of Arabic MIDAS were established throughout three main phases: the first phase is the translation of MIDAS English version into Arabic language. This was followed by content validity using experts’ judgments and the pilot study. The second phase involved the examination of construct validity of the Arabic MIDAS’s subscales. The third phase involved comparing the results of two modes of Arabic MIDAS assessment. The findings of this study indicated that, the content of eleven items in the Arabic version of MIDAS need to be modified to match the Arabic content. The reliability coefficient computed was obtained using test re-test method and has a value of 0.85 for the overall MIDAS and for the different subscales ranging between 0.78 - 0.87. In addition, the Winsteps program based on Rasch model was used to examine the construct validity of the overall Arabic MIDAS and its subscales. The results revealed that, there were eleven items removed from the Arabic version (item 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 38, 98 107,109, and 116) and the remaining 108 items formed the final Arabic version of MIDAS. The internal consistency coefficients for the different MIDAS’s subscales were in the range of 0.82 to 0.99. Moreover, SPSS program version 15 was implemented in the second part of this study in order to determine the relationship between the results from the two modes of Arabic MIDAS assessment. The findings of this study indicated that there is a high correlation between the results of the two modes for the overall Arabic MIDAS. However, the correlations between the two modes for all the Arabic MIDAS's subscales are low.en_US
