Multiple intelligences and nursing student attrition.
Hughes, Sandra S.

Multiple intelligences and nursing student attrition. - 91 p.

Adviser: Janet Lessner.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Capella University, 2007.

The purpose of this descriptive quantitative project was to examine the relationship between MI profiles and course grades among nursing students at Triton College in River Grove, Illinois. Society values the simple but challenging premise that every student has the right to receive quality education, and today many colleges are challenged by the public, policymakers, and regulatory bodies to address and be accountable for high attrition rates. The research pertaining to college attrition suggests standardized tests and GPA remain the best overall predictors of student success. However, even with the use of standardized tests and GPA scores community college attrition remains high and there is still a need to identify other factors of student success. Standardized tests focus on the verbal and mathematical intelligences thereby omitting other intelligences suggested by Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory (MI). This study explored the relationship between Gardner's MI profiles and course component grades. A premise of this study suggested that when the instructional approach is in alignment with intelligence profiles, students will have a higher potential for success than when the instructional approach is not in direct alignment. A first year nursing course integrates a theoretical component, a clinical laboratory component, and a clinical rotation component, each component necessitating the use of different MI abilities. Disparity between MI intelligence profiles and course components creates a dissimilar learning environment. A dissimilar learning environment can contribute to poor performance and can thus impact attrition. The results of the study suggested limited to no relationship between MI profiles and course components.Subjects--Topical Terms:
