The Relationship

The applications of multiple intelligence theory in education are wide. Students apply the learning in the classroom according to their own dominant intelligence and learning style, which is most effective for them. Combining learning styles with dominant intelligences enhances the students' learning processes.The purpose of this case study is to examine the relationship between dominant intelligences according to Gardner's multiple intelligence theory and middle school students' academic achievement. A case study was conducted in Israel, in a middle school, among seventh-graders and involved 158 students.Findings indicated that in excellent classes - 80.9% of students had logical intelligence, in at least one of the levels of dominance; in ordinary classes only 48.4% of students have logical intelligence, at least in one of the levels of dominance. We also examined the relationship between the amount of dominant intelligences among students in all classes, excellent and ordinary. Findings indicated that in excellent classes the percentage of students with two or three dominant intelligences was higher than the percentage in ordinary classes. It is important to note that these are not just the logical and verbal, but also all types of intelligences, such as spatial, musical, kinetic and others.In conclusion, the dominant intelligences that highly influence and measure achievement in the education system are not the logical-mathematical and the linguistic-verbal, but the only logical-mathematical. Moreover, the amount of intelligences at the dominant levels can predict and indicate student's success at school.

The Relationship

In a diverse work environment, it’s important to have diverse managers, and people with different talents and intelligence in order to deal with different problems. The concept of learning styles is used to describe individual differences in the way people learn. According to Kolb (1984), each person has a unique way to absorb and process experiences and information. He has identified four statistically prevalent learning styles- diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory is very helpful to recognize that people have differing aptitude in different subject areas. In the study, the participants consisted of 153 bachelor students of Management of Multimedia University of Malaysia. They were given two questionnaires, one for Kolb’s learning style and other for Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence inventory and a correlation was conducted. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between Kolb’s Learning Style and Multiple Intelligence. The relationship could be seen particularly in Abstract Conceptualization (AC) and Multiple Intelligences which were Nature, kinesthetic, music, word, interpersonal, and picture. And also a slight relationship between Concrete Experience (CE) and kinesthetic and nature. The results can be found deeper in this article.

The Relationship

In a diverse work environment, it is important to have diverse leaders, managers, and people with different talents and intelligence in order to deal with different problems. In this case, each individual can know their own strength and weakness, and know which position works best for them. The concept of learning styles is used to describe individual differences in the way people learn. According to Kolb (1984), each person has a unique way to absorb and process experiences and information. He has identified four statistically prevalent learning styles- diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating. On the other hand, Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory is very helpful to recognize that people have differing aptitude in different subject areas. This chapter documents a study in which the participants consisted of 153 bachelor students of Management from the Multimedia University of Malaysia. They were given two questionnaires, one for Kolb's learning style and other for Gardner's Multiple Intelligence inventory and a correlation was conducted. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between Kolb's Learning Style and Multiple Intelligence. The relationship could be seen particularly in Abstract Conceptualization (AC) and Multiple Intelligences which were Nature, kinesthetic, music, word, interpersonal, and picture. The results also indicated that the majority of the participants are between AC and AE which means they are convergers. Having the right information for companies can be beneficial since knowing how their employees learn can lead to a diverse workplace that would have significant results on organizational structure, planning, development, and operation.

Intelligence Theory

This chapter examines the validity and relevance of two frequently discussed educational theories: Multiple Intelligence Theory and Learning Styles. Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory encourages educators to look beyond the standard IQ test as a single measurement of a student’s potential. Rather, he encourages educators to look at students more holistically as defined by eight different intelligences. The chapter continues by explaining that scientific studies do not support the commonly held belief that students learn best through their preferred learning style. Instead, research demonstrates that information learned through multiple sensory entry points will have more triggers for recollection, thus increasing chances for recall. The author shares a variety of exercises created to take advantage of this brain principle in the choral rehearsal. This chapter further explores the brain’s affinity as a pattern-seeking device to respond to structure, and ways to use that affinity as an aid to learning.

Intelligence Theory

Review of literature shows that empirical research on vocational intelligence (VQ) is lacking as compared to substantial research conducted on intellectual intelligence (IQ and emotional intelligence (EQ).  Vocational intelligence is a new theory. It could be an offshoot from Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory.  The main objective of this investigation was to determine the vocational intelligence of technical school apprentices in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Gardner and Holland theories have been chosen as the basis for the study’s conceptual framework that contained six domains of vocational intelligence, namely realistic and artistic intelligence, artistic and realistic tendencies, and kinesthetic and visual talents. Multiple cases and multiple sites case study was selected as the study’s research design. A random sample of 306 vocational students was selected from four technical secondary institutions in Perak. Research instrument comprised questionnaire and interview questions to gather quantitative and qualitative information. Key finding from the questionnaire is that the technical secondary students believe that they possess the three main competencies ─ visual, kinesthetic, and artistic. The result also shows that background aspects of the students did not influence their VQ except the schoolings of the father and mother.  In terms of the relationships among constructs, Pearson correlation coefficients show strong correlations among artistic competence with artistic tendency and realistic competence with realistic tendency. In contrast to questionnaire data, open-ended results show the technical school students believed that they are dominantly realistic, followed by artistic and visual. Interview data via thematic analyses show that students admitted that they have realistic VQ.

Pattern generalization is an important aspect of mathematics contained in every topic in teaching. This study aims to investigate middle school students’ generalization of number patterns based on learning style. Descriptive qualitative, portraying or describing the events that are the center of attention (problem-solving abilities, student learning styles) qualitatively.This study explored 4 participants (12 to 13 years old) with their constructed number pattern they had generalized during individual task-based interviews. Questions that include indicators of the problem solving process in terms of student learning styles, and interviews. The data analysis used was namely data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. We found that students who are converger, diverger, accommodator, and assimilator understands the problem by knowing what is known and asked and explains the problem with their own sentences. The converger and assimilator students look back without checking the counts involved, the diverger students do not see other alternative solutions and do not check the counts involved, accommodator students consider that the solutions obtained are logical, ask themselves whether the question has been answered, check the counts that are done, reread the question, and use other alternative solutions. The implication of this study indicated that students of the type of converger, diverger, accommodator, and assimilator are able to solve problems through the stages of implementing plans by interpreting problems in mathematical form, implementing strategies during the process and counting takes place. Based on several studies on pattern generalization, there have not been researchers who have revealed the number pattern generalization of high school students based on learning styles.

study aims to describe the creativity skills of Junior High School students in solving cube and cuboid problems based on student learning styles. The research instruments used were creativity skills tests, a learning style questionnaire, and interviews. As many as three seventh graders who have different learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, working on a cuboid/cube problem. Their performances on such a problem were then assessed regarding fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The results showed that the visual learner produced two different solutions with two different methods/strategies and completed his solution by providing a lot of illustrations/representations although they could not be categorized as novelty solutions. Meanwhile, the auditory learner provided two different solutions with two different methods/strategies. More particularly, he determined the appropriate size and found a suitable size by using a three-variable linear equation for the cube and cuboid problem although he produced some mistakes and uncompleted on the work procedures. Lastly, the kinesthetic learner provided two different solutions with one method/strategy, such as by directly determining the various correct sizes for the problem-solution although the answers could not be categorized novelty for creativity skill. Further studies are suggested to involve more participants to get a wider insight on the students’ creativity for different learning styles.
