Abstract

Pofessional authorities in accounting have long wanted to reform the accounting education program, realizing the increasing diversity among students. In this regard, the present study investigates the effect of multiple education based on multiple intelligence on academic performance, motivation and skills of accounting students during the corona epidemic. To achieve this goal, two groups of students, a total of 50 people (25 in the experimental group with combined training based on multiple intelligence and 25 in the control group with traditional education) in the management accounting class at the Islamic Azad University of Saveh and in the academic year 2020 2021 have been selected as a sample. Findings indicate an improvement in academic performance and motivation in the experimental group compared to the control group. Also, the results of a survey of students show the effectiveness of the combined teaching method in strengthening their verbal, communication and teamwork skills and their satisfaction with this method in coronary conditions compared to the traditional approach to teaching. Use hybrid training approaches based on multiple intelligences in designing and implementing the training process
