Background & Statement of the problem: The study highlights the clear shortcomings of studies addressing bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence, importance, goals, and implementation in educational process.
Objectives: level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence among gifted students at the Jubilee School, and level of social skills among gifted students at the Jubilee School.
Methods: The study adopts the descriptive correlative approach. Two scales were developed, the first one is: bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, (23) paragraphs were distributed on four dimensions. The second is: social skills scale, (19) paragraphs were distributed over three dimensions.
Results: The results of the study showed that the responses of the study sample were in line with a high degree of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. It also showed a high degree in the possession of social skills among the gifted students at the Jubilee School, and there were no statistically significant differences in the level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and the possession of social skills based on the variables: (gender, class).
Conclusions (Recommendations and contributions): The researchers recommends to work on employing bodily-kinesthetic intelligence in teaching gifted students different subjects, through preparing educational programs aimed at benefiting from bodily-kinesthetic intelligence among students, directing gifted students in the Jubilee School towards the use of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
