Exploring Theories Related to Technology-Based Learning for Pupils with Special Educational Needs with Visual Impairment

Abstract

In conducting this study, there are four (4) learning theories that underlie the study. Among the learning theories are Multiple Intelligence Theory, Dale's Cone of Experience, Iceberg Model, and Technology Acceptance Model. This study was conducted based on the theory of multiple intelligences. This concept was expressed by Howard Gardner in 1983. Dr. Howard Gadner is a famous educational and psychological figure. Howard Earl Gadner was born on July 11, 1943. Intelligence is defined as the perfection of the mind to think, understand, cleverness, intelligence and ingenuity. IQ intelligence is an indicator and prerequisite to a person's academic qualifications. Studies have expanded the idea of multiple intelligences to cover multiple dimensions. According to him intelligence is not something that can be inherited but is influenced by aspects of the environment, culture, educational opportunities, food and others. The theory of multiple intelligences has an important impact on education. Multiple intelligences can be developed to a competent level and improved through education and training.
