A Study on the Relationship between Problem Solving Skills and Multiple Intelligences of High School Students

Abstract

Article HistoryProblem solving is a complex process in which encountered problems are defeated as reaching a target and problem solving skills are developed in school years. And, intelligence is defined as the ability to solve problems or to create products being valued within one or more cultural settings. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between multiple intelligences and problem solving skills. The relational model was used in the current study. The research group included 181 female (48.39 %) and 193 male (51.61 %) students studying at Zubeyde Hanim Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School and Gazi Industrial Vocational High School. The Multiple Intelligences Inventory adapted in Turkish by Ozden (2003) and Problem Solving Inventory developed by Heppner and Peterson (1982) and adapted in Turkish by Sahin et al. (1993) were used as the data collection tool. Data were analyzed using the analysis of Pearson correlation. The findings indicated that there have been found some significant positive and negative correlations between variables.Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by investigating the relationship between high school students' problem solving skills and multiple intelligences.

Relationship Between Multiple Intelligences and Digital Literacy Skills Among University Students

“…Using the digital tools and technologies can polish students' abilities to efficiently navigate them for their academic success and for preparing them for the future lives ( Abdulteeef & Khateeb, 2017;Helgevold & Moen, 2015). The studies also explored that the successive use of DL resulted in the enhancement of linguistic, mathematical and spatial intelligence areas (Hakan, Mehtap & Suleyman, 2017). Also, researches made by Jansen (2020), indicated significant relationship between DL and logical/ mathematical intelligence among the university students.…”

Industry 4.0: Employers Expectations of Accounting Graduates and its Implications on Teaching and Learning Practices

“…The digitalization of education has further provided more alternatives to academics in their teaching and learning methods (Schuster et al, 2015). Arguably, this provides opportunities for the academics in strategizing ways to disseminate their knowledge to students, in ways that are relevant and practical, so that graduates will be able to adapt and stay in demand in the real world (Karatas et al, 2017). However, teaching and learning processes can only be effective when the academics and universities know the expectations of the employers of the accounting graduates in the era of Industry 4.0.…”
