Abstract

Education attempts to improve its efficiency and equity through the last technologies using e-learning. This ‎quasi-experimental applied research, with the pre-test - post-test with control group method, aimed to explore ‎the effect of learning styles based on Linguistic, spatial and Bodily-kinesthetic ‎ Gardner intelligences on ‎Academic Achievement in blended-learning. In this study, 60 third-grade computer science students in ‎vocational schools of the Isfahan city participated. They were randomly enrolled into control and experimental ‎groups (30 student in each groups). Multiple intelligences profiles and background characteristics of two groups ‎did not differ significantly (p
