博士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 工業教育與技術學系 === 96 === This research explores the interplay among multiple intelligence, learning styles, learning motivations, and learning strategies toward learning effectiveness for vocational high school students. The researcher has reviewed related literature and has constructed a theoretical framework for the study. In the process of obtaining experimental data, the subjects involved in the study were selected by the stratified cluster sampling method. Thirty-one vocational high schools were selected, and 2,474 participants were included in the field investigation. After careful evaluation, 2,128 of the total 2,474 questionnaires were responded; that is, the available returned rate was 91%. The data were analyzed to test the hypothesis by using statistical procedures: frequency distribution, percentage, t-test, one-way ANOVA, point biserial correlations, Pearson product moment correlations, and path analysis statistical methods. It was expected that the result could be used as practical implications for promoting the instructional effectiveness of vocational high school teachers. The conclusions of this research are listed as follows: 1.Math-logical intelligence performance of vocational high school boy students are significantly higher than that of girl students, and the linguistic intelligence performance of vocational high school girl students are significantly higher than boy students’ performance. 2.Linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence performance of public vocational high school students or students from families of high social-economical status are significantly higher than that of private or students from families of low social-economical status. 3.Math-logical intelligence performance of vocational high school industrial program students are significantly higher than that of linguistic program students, and linguistic intelligence performance of linguistic program students are significantly higher than industrial program student’s performance. 4.Vocational high school boy students are significantly more active and sensational in learning styles than girl students, while vocational high school girl students are significantly more reflective and intuitive in leaning styles than boy students. 5.There are more sequential learners among public vocational high school students than among private vocational high school students. 6.Vocational high school girl students show more value judgments and emotional concerns than boy students in their leaning motivations. 7.Vocational high school students from families of high social-economical status show more expectancy components than those from families of low social-economical status. 8.Vocational high school students in northern, central and eastern parts of Taiwan show more value judgments and emotional concerns in their learning motivations than those in southern Taiwan. 9.Vocational high school girl students, public high school students and vocational high school students in central Taiwan perform significantly better in their cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies and resource management strategies than vocational high school boy students, and private vocational high school students as well as vocational high school students in Southern Taiwan. 10.Vocational high school students from families of high social-economical status utilize metacognitive strategies more frequently, while those from families of low social-economical status utilize cognitive strategies more often. 11.Vocational high school students’ intrapersonal intelligence of multiple intelligences is significantly correlated with judgment components and expectancy components involved in learning motivations. 12.Vocational high school students’ linguistic and musical intelligence of multiple intelligences are significantly correlated with cognitive strategies in learning motivations, while musical intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence of multiple intelligences are moderately correlated with resource management strategies in learning motivations. 13.Learning effectiveness can be predicted by studying multiple intelligences and learning strategies of vocational high school students. According to the results described above, the research hereby provides the following recommendations for the promotion of learning effectiveness in vocational high schools and related further studies. 1.Adequate career planning should be provided based on the difference of multiple intelligences between vocational high school boy and girl students. 2.Basic learning competency of private vocational high school students should be reinforced to increase their learning effectiveness. 3.Intrapersonal intelligence of vocational high school students should be further cultivated to upgrade their learning motivation. 4.Learning skills of students from families of low social-economical status should be sharpened to raise their learning effectiveness. 5.Learning styles of vocational high school students should be taking into consideration so as to provide proper learning surroundings for individual students. 6.Students should be enlightened to understand the value and future development of attending vocational high schools and to meet their learning satisfaction. 7.The cause of low learning motivation of some vocational high school students should be probed into so as to work out some remediable strategies. 8.Vocational high school boy students as well as private vocational high school students should be given some available learning strategies to raise their learning satisfaction. 9.Multiple instructional strategies should be exploited to promote the learning results of vocation high school students. 10.Teaching and practical apparatus of vocational high schools should replenished to raise learning effectiveness. 11.Learning ineffectiveness in vocational high schools of southern Taiwan should be examined and discussed to work out adequate effective measures.
