Relationship between Student Satisfaction with Online Learning and Intelligence Types
Oliwa, Robert
Journal of Interactive Learning Research, v33 n3 p143-161 2022
The study examined the relationship between student satisfaction with online learning and the intelligence types postulated by Howard Gardner in the multiple intelligences theory. Student satisfaction, being a multifaceted construct, is contingent on an array of factors in an educational setting. Additionally, the introduction of an online (distance) learning model with its recent enhancement has had a bearing on it. The outcomes of the present study indicate a relationship between student learning satisfaction with an online environment and certain types of intelligence, namely interpersonal, naturalistic and visual-spatial. This may stem from students' characteristics, learning styles as well as the needs each type represents. Moreover, it was revealed that student online learning satisfaction decreases with the length of studies and the results which students achieve. It was also discovered that there was an equal distribution of all intelligence types amongst both men and women whose online learning satisfaction was examined. The online model of learning can satisfy students' academic expectations in the time when they cannot be satisfied otherwise. The outcomes also imply that with the recent development of education, a hybrid and flexible model might be welcome in the years to come.
