AbstractThis study aimed at modelling the relationship between multiple-intelligence and thinking
skills and its influence on developing patterns of thinking among the 10th-grade students in
private schools in Abu Dhabi. The researcher used descriptive approach. Structure equation
modelling was used in analysing correlation coefficients between variables to direct or
indirect effects, as well as evaluating the relative importance of independent variables in
interpreting the total variation of the dependent variable. The study sample constitutes of 350
students from five private schools in Abu Dhabi. The study used three instruments, namely
Gardner’s multiple-intelligence scale, the thinking skills scale, and the thinking patterns
scale. Data were also analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient and Amos.
The results showed significant positive relationship between multiple intelligences (IV) and
thinking patterns (DV) through critical thinking as the MV. A direct.....
