Theory of multiple intelligences mea apr 2014 v6 murad
- 3. Background
• “Many adults are ill
prepared to live, work, and
function effectively in our
fast-paced and highly
technical society (Vaske,
2001)” (Zobisch, 1995, p. 1)

- 4. Background
“The challenge is how to develop the skills needed to be
productive and informed members of a world market led by
constant change. (Brookfield, 1987; Davis & Botkin, 1995;
Glaser & Resnick, 1991; Halpern, 1993; Kerka, 1992; Paul,
1990; Sternberg, 1985)” (Zobisch , 1995, p. 2).

- 5. Problem Statement
A review of the literature identified many articles on critical
thinking in marketing classes, but no literature reflective of the
online marketing classes.
If critical thinking is the ultimate goal of adult education, as the
literature suggests, how can educators teach the skill in order to
raise student comprehension?

- 6. Teaching CriticalThinking in an Online Classroom
• Limited literature exists on how to teach critical thinking in an online
classroom.
– Tyler and Loventhal (2011) suggested the need for academic rigor to bring
credibility to online instruction for teaching critical thinking.

- 7. Teaching CriticalThinking in an Online Classroom
– Cooper (2000) suggested to
discover students’ learning
styles and to enhance
classroom instruction with
technology to aid in student
success.

- 8. Teaching CriticalThinking in an Online Classroom
– Watrous-McCabe (2005) suggested a broad range of
technologies are available to support online learning such as
“web conferencing, online chats, blogs, discussion boards,
interactive games, and Internet resources” (para. 23).

- 11. Marketers assess data and
determine what is relevant.
The process for assessing data is
critical thinking.
93% of employers revealed critical
thinking skills were valued above all
other academic achievements (“It
Takes More than a Major,” 2013).

- 13. Theory of Multiple Intelligences
• Gardner (1983) identified eight intelligences
– intelligences are more a potential for solving problems than a
measurement of a single IQ score
– by applying different intelligences, critical thinking skills can be
taught in such a manner to increase student comprehension and
success.

- 14. Different Learning Styles
Different Learning Styles
• The most common learning styles are visual, auditory, and tactile
(“Learning Styles,” n.d.).
• The learning styles in combination with the multiple intelligences
give educators insight into the preferred method of how their
students process information.

- 15. Learning Styles with Multiple Intelligences
Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences along with the
learning styles for problem solving and decision making can
enhance student comprehension of critical thinking skills.

strategies one of the few sustainable competitive advantages.
• Specific activities using all of the multiple intelligences and learning
styles will engage the marketing student in learning the critical
thinking process.
• Few techniques to apply the theory of multiple intelligences in the
online classroom
