Multiple Intelligences among Industrial Technology Students

Abstract

This study was conducted during the first semester, Academic Year 2013–2014 at Guimaras State College – Mosqueda Campus. Specifically, it determined the profile of Industrial Technology. The respondents were the Industrial Technology students. This study used descriptive correlational research design.

The study revealed that most of the respondents were male, aging 16–25, whose parents were not able to finish high school and with the family income of 1,300 and below. Results further revealed that sex, year level, and parents' educational attainment are factors which affect the academic performance of the students.

Among the Industrial Technology students, the intrapersonal is the dominant intelligence. This implies that this group of students is self-motivated individuals. It was also found out that verbal-linguistic intelligence has a significant relationship in the academic performance. However, the other intelligences must not be taken for granted. Hence, the administration of GSC, especially the teaching personnel, must structure their courses and programs which will cater to the intelligences of their learners.
