The Place of Multiple Intelligence in Achieving the Objectives and Goals of Open and Distance Learning Institutions : a critical analysis
This paper examined the nature of open and distance learning institutions asorganizations where synergy of efforts of all personnel is required in other to achieve
the aims and objectives of the institution. It explored the huge infrastructural and
personnel requirements of distance learning institutions, especially at inception, and
the wherewithal needed for the institutions to survive the challenges of the
contemporary knowledge milieu and stand the test of time while ensuring the quality
and standard of all the certificates that will be awarded over time. The paper seeks to
evaluate the role of multiple-intelligence in the administration of open and distance
learning institutions, given that multiple-intelligence allows for improvement in
achievement, performance and skills (Sternberg, Turff & Grigenko, 1998).
The paper concluded that the importance of multiple intelligence in the actualization
of the broad goals and the specific objectives of distance learning institutions can not
be overemphasized in the various aspects of the institutional framework of distance
learning. It was also submitted that the discipline of distance education as it has
often been construed is an eclectic one requiring an agglomeration of intellectual
skills and abilities –multiple intelligence.
