“…This is ascribed to the fact that students specializing in Mathematics came from the scientific stream, in addition to the nature of Mathematic specialization at the university stage. This agrees with (Smith et al, 2000) about the impact of using multiple intelligence theory on the academic achievement of students in Mathematics. The study showed that multiple intelligence theory was not effective in metacognitive activities.…”

“…A few studies investigated the impact of teaching strategies based on multiple intelligence on students' problem-solving abilities (Awad, 2009). One study only (Smith et al, 2000) evaluated the impact of multiple intelligence on students' academic achievement in mathematics. The study detected that the multiple intelligence theory was not effective in meta-cognitive activities and in the academic success of students.…”

This study aimed to identify the kinds of multiple intelligence common among the College of Education students at Dammam University. The study sample consisted of (201) students specialized in Mathematics, Physics ,Computer Science, English and Kindergarten and the preparatory year of scientific and literary streams. Mackenzie Inventory for Multiple Intelligence (Mackenzie, 1999) was used, after confirming its validity and reliability. The study results indicated an acceptable ratio of multiple intelligence communality among the students of the College of Education at Jubail/University of Dammam regarding the communality of multiple intelligence among them. The most common kind of intelligence was intrapersonal intelligence, while the least common was musical intelligence. The communality level ratio of mathematical-logical intelligence, visual intelligence, linguistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence (social) and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence were approximate. There was a significant difference attributed to interaction among students' multiple intelligence, specialization, scholastic year and Grade Point Average (GPA).

“…Physical examinations, therefore, should be interpreted within the context of how a particular child has been abused, of the child s perception of that abuse and of the process through which abuse was disclosed. 17 When sexual abuse is disclosed by child victims themselves, is discovered by other people 18,19 or by clinicians who treat them, it is recommended that other children in the same family environment be investigated too, 20,21 primarily because 70% of abuse is committed by family members or someone who frequents the family home. 5,7,[22][23][24] We emphasize that, in the present study, parents of children in the case group were more concerned and sensitized to the behavior, signs and symptoms exhibited by their children than were the parents of the children selected for the control group when attending routine consultations.…”

Objectives: To develop an instrument to determine the probability of child sexual abuse and to estimate the questionnaire s discriminant validity.Methods: Case-control study of 201 children seen at pediatric clinics and referral centers for the victims of sexual violence, between March and November 2004. Cases comprised children who had either been reported or suspected of being sexually abused and controls comprised children with no such suspicion. We applied a questionnaire to a parent or guardian of each child that consisted of 18 items, each with five Likert scale responses, dealing with the behavior and physical and emotional symptoms exhibited by the children. We excluded nine children for lack of sphincter control. One question was discarded since very few people replied to it. We evaluated the discriminant validity and internal consistency of the items, calculating correlation coefficients (Pearson, Spearman and Goodman-Kruskal), Cronbach s a coefficient and area under the ROC curve. We calculated likelihood ratios and positive predictive values for the five items on the questionnaire that performed best.Results: The questionnaire comprises the five items that best discriminate sexually abused children from nonabused children in two contexts. The score resulting from the sum of responses weighted at 0 to 4 points (overall amplitude of 0 to 20) indicates the post-test probability of sexual abuse by means of the application of Bayes theorem (likelihood ratios). Conclusions:The instrument is easy to apply and helps in the identification of sexual abuse victims. A cutoff point was defined to indicate the probability of sexual abuse, which can be very useful to guide management of children. Suggested citation: Salvagni EP, Wagner MB.

“…8,9 More than half of sexually abused children do not disclose their abuse until they are adults. 10 A history of childhood sexual abuse can have lifelong deleterious effects on a child' s physical and mental health. Sexual abuse increases the risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, 11,12 low self-esteem, 13 and social phobias.…”

This clinical report updates a 2005 report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on the evaluation of sexual abuse in children. The medical assessment of suspected child sexual abuse should include obtaining a history, performing a physical examination, and obtaining appropriate laboratory tests. The role of the physician includes determining the need to report suspected sexual abuse; assessing the physical, emotional, and behavioral consequences of sexual abuse; providing information to parents about how to support their child; and coordinating with other professionals to provide comprehensive treatment and follow-up of children exposed to child sexual abuse.
