Abstract

Background and Objectives: At present, the introduction of multimedia and the delivery of electronic lessons has created a revolution in the field of teaching and new methods of student participation. The word "multimedia" was introduced from 1950 onwards and an attempt was made to increase the quality of education by combining multiple media, and these facilities allow progress, balance, creativity and better communication between the user and the software easily. The basis of this method goes back to the theory of cognitive processing. which was widely used with the advent of new computer technologies. Cognitivism has been formed as a part of the contemporary cognitive movement due to dissatisfaction with traditional education. In the theory of cognitive processing, it is assumed that the information processing system in humans has two separate channels (visual/visual and auditory/verbal processing). Each of these channels has a limited capacity. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of teaching content produced with Active Inspire software and traditional tools based on the problem-solving model on the successful intelligence of elementary students in the course of experimental sciences in 1400-1401.

Methods: This research is semi-experimental in terms of method and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population of the research included all the elementary school students of the 2nd district of Karaj city in the number of 1970 students, the sample size of which was 40 students, selected by multi-stage random method and placed in two homogeneous groups of 20 people. The data collection tool for the variable of successful intelligence is the standard questionnaire of Grigorenko and Sternberg (2000), whose validity was evaluated by experts as favorable and its reliability was 0.86. In this research, before teaching, in order to measure the level of basic knowledge of students from two groups of 20 people, control and experimental, and to the experimental group with Active Inspire software and to the control group in a traditional way, two thirds of the contents of the 6th grade experimental science book in 8 sessions. It was taught (in order to measure the successful intelligence of the students by means of Sternberg's standard questionnaire, students were surveyed, then the materials related to analytical intelligence, creative intelligence and practical intelligence of the course of experimental sciences, in two modern methods (Active Inspire software) and traditional methods for education students was given and after the end of the training sessions again by distributing the questionnaire among the subjects, they were surveyed about their successful intelligence) after the end of the training sessions, a post-test of the subjects was carried out. To analyze the data, descriptive statistical methods were used. and inferential statistics such as covariance, independent and dependent t tests were used in statistical software (spss) version 22..

Findings: The results showed that the content produced with multimedia software (Active Inspire) is more effective than the traditional teaching method on successful intelligence with an environmental approach. The results showed that the content produced with multimedia software (Active Inspire) is more effective than the traditional teaching method. The traditional teaching method is effective on the analytical intelligence, creative intelligence and practical intelligence of students in science subjects with environmental approach

Conclusion: From this, it can be concluded that multimedia software (Active Inspire) in comparison with traditional tools based on the model Problem solving can strengthen analytical intelligence, creative intelligence and action intelligence, and generally strengthen the successful intelligence of elementary school students.
