Content analysis of the Life and Family Skills book for the first grade of primary school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in light of the theory of multiple intelligences

The current research aims to identify the availability of multiple intelligences in the Life and Family Skills book for the first grade of primary school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve this, the researcher prepared a list of indicators of multiple intelligences in light of Gardner's theory, which should be available to first grade students. Using the descriptive analytical approach with content analysis, the results showed that the following intelligences: linguistic, logical, visual, physical, social, personal, naturalistic, and existential are available at a low degree, and the availability rate was limited to (0.03%, 31%), while musical intelligence was not available in the Life and Family Skills book. The reason for this may be due to the nature of the scientific material and its focus on a group of skills practiced in the child's life, especially in his early years, and these are related to language, numbers, enumeration, different places, and interaction with others. There is agreement in the results of the content analysis of the Life and Family Skills book according to the first and second semesters in eight intelligences at a rate of (89%), which means no difference in the degree of availability. The difference was in logical/mathematical intelligence, where the availability level was very low in the first semester at (19%), and low in the second semester at (30%). These results emphasize the need to review the intelligence skills and activities in the book in general and to add many activities necessary for the child at this age.
