Multiple Intelligence and Learning Styles of Learners in Online Distance Learning: Basis of Intervention Program

Abstract

This study aims to determine the multiple intelligence and learning styles of the learners among the selected grade six students of Private and Public schools in Manila. The study used the Independent two-tailed test and made use of descriptive-correlational method of research design to determine the significant difference on the learning styles and Multiple Intelligence of the learners. The p-value is greater than the significance level, which means it is not significant and thus fails to reject the null hypothesis. The Pearson r correlation coefficient was used to measure the significant relationship on the Learning styles and Multiple Intelligence of the learners. The p-value is less than the significance level and is significant, and it has enough evidence to reject the null. The Kinesthetic Intelligence needs to be developed based on the result that has the lowest score among the selected grade six students and it is recommended for grade six teachers to implement the Theory of Multiple Intelligence and learning styles during online learning. Teachers should make use of a certain strategy to improve kinesthetic intelligence. For example, the teachers could give their students different project/experiment kits they can use at their respective homes virtually.
