The Use of Varied Teaching Strategies on the Conceptual Understanding of Selected Topics on General Pathology

Maria Theresa C. Gonzales, Dennis G. Caballes

Abstract


In Dentistry, General Pathology is considered to be one of the critical areas in concept accommodation; hence, there is a need to explore how students process information delineating possible incorrect notions about it. This study used the descriptive research design following the pretest and posttest design with control. The multiple intelligences of the participants were determined through the use of adopted Multiple Intelligences (MI) Inventory Test. The study revealed that student respondents possess varied multiple intelligences that can be appropriate for different teaching strategies.
