An Analysis of Multiple Intelligences' Effect on Book Selection Preferences

Abstract

This research was based on Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory. The purpose of this study was to describe students' book selection preferences using the theory of multiple intelligences. We have conducted a survey of high schools in the Chung-Nam province, consisting of 100 students, 50 in the high academically achieving group and another 50 in the low achieving group, in an attempt to analyze the relationship between their book selection preferences and the types of students' multiple intelligences. We want to assist in the research data for the reading guide.
