An Exploratory Study on the Application of Multiple Intelligences to MBA Andragogy with Particular Reference to ERP-Controlling Configuration Course

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elicit the application of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory to a course taught in the MBA Andragogy. Administered to a sample of 47 students of the first year MBA Information Technology Business Management (ITBM) program at a private university in India the study brought out certain interesting implications. Foremost, the written report, prescribed a clear route map for the preparation and planning of the MI activities to become the SAP ERP-Controlling Configuration course in the MBA (ITBM) program. Second, the administration of the MI Andragogy to the target sample by applying three well-defined tools. Foremost, the MI profile of the students, second, the most preferred MI activity of the student and third, the observation schedule with the instructor. The statistically significant pre and post test scores validated the strength of the work. The third implication is the triangulation of the three tools to ensure the credibility and validity of the results. It was found that a little over 50 percent of the sample resulted in complete corroboration and the balance partially corroborated. Overall the research extends and enhances the scope and application of MI theory to MBA Andragogy and serves every bit a broad citation to the MBA teaching ecosystem.

E-learning within the Field of Andragogy

Instructional Design Framework for Construction Materials Training

“…It is common in several professional industries to apply formal educational theory to ongoing professional training. For example, Gaikwad and Bharathi (2018) apply formal educational principles to training in the field of information technology as a means of teaching artificial intelligence. Antonis et al (2011) apply similar theories to web-based computer science training as a solution to overcoming educational barriers associated with standardized education.…”

Is project-based learning effective among kindergarten and elementary students? A systematic review

“…Some of these skills are critical thinking, communication, collaboration, or creativity [1,2]. According to many experts, although the prevailing methods of direct instruction and recitation may be effective for the acquisition of factual knowledge, these skills demand new pedagogical approaches [3]. Within this context, project-based learning (PjBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) have emerged as valuable inquiry approaches to achieve the so-called skills for the 21st century [4].…”
