Dear Ashraf Haji Maibodi,

Thank you for the interesting question.As a crucial part of Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, moral intelligence is related to ethical principles which govern teachers' beliefs, values and behaviors.In point of fact, morality intelligence reflects one of the long- established maxims regarding education which states, " character is more important than intellect". Notably, moral intelligence involves four essential competencies; namely, integrity, responsibility, forgiveness, and compassion. Teachers who enjoy higher levels of such abilities possess a higher degree of morality intelligence, and as a consequence, are more successful in attaining the targeted educational outcomes. On this basis, as you have rightly observed, moral intelligence correlates positively with the teacher's teaching styles and preferences.

Best regards,
