Assignment Task

The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships between the multiple intelligences and learning styles. The quantitative approach was the method used in the research. A sample of freshman and sophomore students as a non- random systematic sample was selected to be investigated in the research. A structured questionnaire was used to gather the primary data from the students in the study. Chi-square test for independence is used to explore the relationship between multiple intelligences and learning styles categorical variables. Based on multiple intelligences-learning styles crosstabs outputs, there is an association between multiple intelligences dimensions: studying, problem- solving, equipment functioning, subject choosing, and telling a story and visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. According to Pearson Chi-Square values as well as on values of Cramer’s V there is an association between multiple intelligences and learning styles. Maximum 10-15 lines.

Introduction

The multiple intelligences and learning styles are supposed to be the important variables that contribute to shaping the frame of the students, their interests and priorities, as well as their choices. The study aims to investigate the relationship between multiple intelligences and learning styles. Multiple intelligences choose conventionally in the study as independent variables include: verbal-linguistic intelligence: ability to perceive and generate spoken or written language; logical-mathematical intelligence: ability to appreciate and use numerical, abstract and logical reasoning to solve problems; musical intelligence: ability to create, communicate and understand meanings made out of sound; spatial-visual intelligence: ability to perceive, modify, transform and create visual and/or spatial images;

Journal of Applied Technical and Educational Sciences bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: ability to use all or part of one’s body to solve problems or fashion products; interpersonal intelligence: ability to recognize, appreciate, and contend with the feelings, beliefs and intentions of other people;  intrapersonal intelligence: ability to understand oneself, including emotions, desires, strengths and vulnerabilities, and to use such information effectively in regulating one’s own life; and  naturalist intelligence: ability to distinguish among critical features of the natural environment (Christodoulou, 2009). Learning styles choose conventionally in the study as dependent variables include includes: visual: learners respond to images and graphics, (2) auditory: learners prefer verbal presentations, and (3) kinesthetic: learners prefer a physical, hands-on approach.
