Teaching Accounting to Learners with Diverse Intelligence

The main purpose of the study was to explore the differences of multiple intelligences on junior high school students with different gender, grade, and students’ types. The study adopted survey research design, and the samples including 341 participants from the seventh and the eighth grade junior high school students in Taiwan. The research instrument used in the study was Chinese Version of Multiple Intelligence Developmental Assessment Scales Form-B. All data was analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, and t-test, one-way analysis of variance. The results of the study were as following:(1) Depending on the average scores of multiple intelligences, seventh grade students got the highest scores on interpersonal intelligence, and got the lowest scores on natural intelligences. Eighth grade students got the highest scores on interpersonal intelligence, and got the lowest scores on bodily-kinesthetic intelligences.(2) General students and special needs students got the highest scores on interpersonal intelligence. However, the former got the lowest scores on natural intelligence, and the latter got the lowest scores on logical-mathematical intelligence. Gifted students got the highest scores on logical-mathematical intelligence, and the lowest scores on bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.(3) Seventh grade students significantly got the higher scores than eighth grade students on spatial, music, bodily-kinesthetic, and natural intelligences.(4) Girls significantly got higher grades than boys on linguistic, spatial, music, interpersonal, and existential intelligences. Boys only got higher grades than girls on logical-mathematical intelligence.Gifted students significantly got higher grades than general students and special needs students on linguistic, logic-mathematics, music, intrapersonal, interpersonal intelligences. Gifted students and general students significantly got higher grades than special needs students on spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, and existential intelligences. There was no difference on natural intelligence among gifted students, general students and special needs students.

We argue that Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences is surprisingly analogous to the theory of intelligence implied in the ancient Chinese educational program of the ‘Six Arts’, even though there are also important differences between them. Although we regard components of intellectual structure as multiple, our theory of intelligence is also different from Gardner’s. In this paper we (1) compare Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences and the theory of intelligence implied in the Six Arts education of ancient China, and (2) analyze Lin Chongde’s theory of intelligence and his perspective that the components of intellectual structure are diverse.

Our understanding of how people learn is continually changing. Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences revolutionized the field education, because it accounts for a broader range of human potential in children and adults and suggests that individuals learn in a multitude of ways. Gardner’s theory suggests there are a variety of possibilities to facilitate learning. People with heightened verbal, linguistic skills are often referred to as word smart. Verbal, linguistic students learn best through the comprehension of language which includes speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Students with verbal linguistic intelligences can easily access information through worldwide databases and computer networks. Any subject content can be enhanced, enriched, and updated from a variety of easily accessed sources which allow students to master the use of technology to access and share information. Students with logical mathematical intelligence are individuals who are number smart and have innate skills which involve logical, problem solving abilities, creative and manipulative skills, and are adept visual learners. Educators can enhance logical-mathematical intelligence through challenging and innovative multimedia technology. With innovative multimedia technology, students learn at all levels and effectively gain knowledge through a variety of different software programs that offer immediate feedback. Learners with visual-spatial intelligence are aesthetically oriented and may have a greater capacity for learning certain sciences like anatomy or topology. They are skillful when it comes to visualization and memory, but may be challenged with auditory memory. Learning for visual-spatial students takes place all at once, with large chunks of information grasped in intuitive leaps. Many people have an innate kinesthetic ability, as well as a natural sense of how their body should react in physical situations. Students with bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence learn best through tactile learning experiences. Bodily-kinesthetic proficiency can be enhanced for students through the use of the whole body to express ideas and feelings. Gardner proposed that musical intelligence almost parallels linguistic intelligence. The person with interpersonal is able to collaborate, understand and work effectively with others. They are aware of their interactions with others and usually take notice of and react to the feelings of others. The interpersonal learner learns best in group situations and structured class settings. Learners with intrapersonal intelligence have accurate self-understanding and are skilled in problem-solving. There is a multitude of different ways to integrate technology into our classrooms and all should focus on learning theory and educational practices. The use of technology should not occur without thinking about how people learn best. To actively engage diverse learners in higher education, the instructor should have a good understanding of the overall nature and purpose of the group, as well as the ability to interact well within the learner’s unique world. The instructor must also be able to structure learning activities to meet their learning needs. The use of Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, coupled with an understanding of how effective technology can enhance the learning community, can meet the diverse learning needs of all students.

This study aims to apply an instructional model within the framework of Multiple Intelligence(MI) theory and investigate impact of implementing the MI-based instruction in Korean language education. For this purpose, the classroom was restructured to create MI activity centers based on individual intelligences. First, teachers are suggested using MI class opening activities for students who possess strength on different area of intelligences. Before starting class, the classroom can be divided either into intra MI classroom or into inter MI classroom. Secondly, Korean Language teachers can make MI lesson plans using “Youn’s MI Dabige model” (1. Determine MI lesson objectives. 2. Ask MI lesson objectives. 3. Brainstorm MI activities. 4. Invent MI activities. 5. Give MI lessons. 6. Evaluate MI lessons). Finally, MI lessons can be developed through nested, webbed, and nest-web mixed integrated curriculum models. It is concluded that teachers need to use students’ intelligence profiles. There are many ways of learning, but the best way is to use one’s strongest intellectual ability. The efficiency of Korean language education can be enhanced by utilizing learners’ multiple intelligences.

Today, video game has become an indispensable entertainment to children, and the theory of Multiple Intelligences is popular in Education, too. But so far, there are no researchers focused their studies on relation between video game and Multiple Intelligences in education. In this study, the researcher explored that students’ change after utilizing video game into the curriculum of Multiple Intelligences. According to the theory of authentic assessment, there were four fifth grade students participated in this study, the researcher tried to investigate the effect of Multiple Intelligences when students played video game. The researcher used hand-held device: Nintendo Dual Screen and puzzle game software: Big Brain Academy for this experiment, and adopted observation and interview for data collection to understand students’ change of Multiple Intelligences. The researcher discovered that he could assess students’ spatial intelligence and logical-mathematical intelligence during the game. At the same time, students also enhanced their spatial intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

The notion of “multiple intelligences” (MI) was established by Howard Gardner, a psychologist from the United States, during the latter part of the 1970s and the early part of the 1980s. Gardner introduced the concept of MI in his 1983 publication titled Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, positing that individuals possess unique cognitive abilities across eight discrete domains. As per the theory, there exist nine discrete categories of intelligence, such as logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, verbal-linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, existential, and naturalistic. Individuals construct their distinct cognitive frameworks by engaging in activities that are highly valued within their respective cultural contexts. The present article furnishes a comprehensive outline of the rationales and plausible scenarios for deliberating MI theory with pre-service educators during their teacher training. This study examines the significance of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and comparable models in the context of teacher training, taking into account the distinctions between the semantic theoretical foundations of intelligence in Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory and learning styles theory.

Based on the theory of multiple intelligences, combined with the homework design scheme of a module in junior high school English textbook of foreign research edition, this paper expounds the application of project-based homework in junior high school English teaching. It can cultivate students' speech language intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, visual spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and self-awareness intelligence.

This article explores the practical integration of the theory of multiple intelligences into language education. Firstly, utilizing language input instruction enables the development of students' language proficiencies, including linguistic intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, and musical intelligence. This is accomplished by using authentic and meaningful language materials, such as newspapers, magazines, videos, and songs, all carefully selected to improve language acquisition. Secondly, language output instruction focuses on developing students' expressive skills in both oral and written forms by actively involving them in communication, presentations, writing tasks, and the expression of opinions. This enables the practical application of their acquired knowledge. Lastly, carefully crafted English classroom activities effectively integrate a variety of intelligences, such as logical-mathematical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence. By incorporating activities such as group discussions, role-playing exercises, project-based research, and competitive endeavors, students' multiple intelligences are nurtured, while also igniting their passion for learning. The flexible application of the multiple intelligences theory, combined with language input instruction, language output instruction, and the design of English classroom activities, serves to enhance both the effectiveness and appeal of students' language acquisition journey.

Intelligence is not a single ability or a combination of several abilities centered around a single ability, but relatively independent and equal eight intelligences namely verbal-linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, and natural observation intelligence. Based on the multiple intelligences model, this paper explores and studies the promotion of learner-centered vocational education teaching and management. This paper analyzes and summarizes the characteristics and manifestations of the eight major intelligences through elaboration, and through cases and analyses such as vocational education and teaching laws and management practice and social perspectives. It elaborates on the scope of application and the use methods of multiple intelligences in vocational education and teaching. The process of teaching and education and student management. The effective use of the theory of multiple intelligences can stimulate more students' potential, so that every student can realize their strengths and their confidence. Through scientific means, these intelligences in students are discovered, and a good cultivation environment and a sound education mechanism are created. So that the concepts of teachers and teachers be transformed, and the abilities of students can be promoted and stimulated. So as to, it more effectively promotes vocational education and teaching management centered on learners to explore and achieve.

An attempt is made to demonstrate if not the dispensability of Gardner’s (1983) theory of multiple intelligences, at least that it is not foundational, to understanding what motivated Picasso’s creative development. Gardner used the theory of multiple intelligences to account for the extraordinariness of various figures, including Picasso, who is supposed to illustrate bodily ability and low scholastic aptitude. The theory of multiple intelligences, however, is undetermined by the facts of Picasso’s life. After interpreting Picasso in terms of his interpersonal relations, generic problems with the theory of multiple intelligences are reviewed, and the benefits of assuming a single one are propounded. It is argued that the case of Picasso illustrates the social cognitive and interpersonal dimensions of thinking as such.

Recognizing and nurturing all the varieties of human intelligences is essential for exploring the talents of students and enabling their identification of multiple intelligences. Studies have suggested that eliciting the maximum potential of intelligences leads to students' success in their academic and future careers. The literature has shown that incorporating active learning into the teaching and learning of moral education to develop multiple intelligences is limited. Accordingly, this study aims to discover the various intelligences that exist among moral education students through the active learning method. Active learning implies that all learners are provided with time and assistance to realize their potential. In this regard, multiple intelligence theory is used as the theoretical framework for defining, understanding, developing, and estimating the various intelligences that students have. The research design for this study is the qualitative method. A total of fourteen students from two schools were chosen as research participants. Data were collected through observation, focus group interviews, and journal entries. These findings reveal that using the active learning method in moral education can develop students’verbal linguistic intelligence, logical–mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and naturalistic intelligence. Integration and internalization of the eight intelligences into active learning holistically will shape the personality and character of students in social life.
