本研究旨在探討雲林縣某大學部，曾接觸過表演藝術實作課程的學生，在多元智能發展上的差異性及對不同藝術的偏好度。研究者藉由迦納(Gardner)的多元智能理論來檢視，舞蹈、音樂、戲劇的學習歷程感受，在哪一項的比例有較重要性的顯著發展。本研究採用問卷調查法，研究工具係引用「霍華德•迦納的多元智慧理論」編修而成。共發放180份問卷，有效回收173份。運用SPSS統計套裝軟體進行信效度分析、描述性統計分析、獨立樣本t檢定、ANOVA(多變量分析)及多元迴歸分析。研究結果顯示:八大多元智能中的身體律動智能因子、個人內省智能因子和音樂節奏智能因子對於:表演藝術行為偏好因子有顯著正向影響。

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which students who had been exposed to performing arts practice courses at a university in Yunlin County had different levels of multiple intelligences development on their artistic preferences and their difference. The researcher used Gardner’s Theory of multiple intelligences to examine the proportion of dancing, music, and drama learning experiences in which the perceptions were more important for significant development. This study used the questionnaire survey method and the research instrument was adapted from Multiple Intelligences: Gardner's Theory. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 173 were validly returned. The Statistical Package for Social Science, SPSS, was used for reliability and validity analysis, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, ANOVA (analysis of variance), and multiple regression analysis. The research findings indicate that the factors of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, personal introspective intelligence, and musical-rhythmic intelligence, which are part of the eight multiple intelligences, have a significant positive impact on the preference for artistic behavior.
