Recommendations for Solving Low Rates of College Readiness at James Monroe High

School, West Virginia

Introduction

The theoretical structure is a critical concept in a research study that gives a structure,

holding or supporting the theory of the study by introducing and describing a theory applicable

in the research study as a significant conceptual framework. According to the author, the

theoretical framework is a structure that summarizes concepts and theories that a researcher

develops from the previous documented knowledge for the synthesis of theoretical background,

creating a platform for data analysis and interpretation of the meaning in a research data for

effective recommendations and conclusions (Kivunja, 2020). Furthermore, the main role of a

theoretical framework in a study is to develop a framework for research with a scholarly

foundation for sense-making and significant presentation of the data. Similarly, in research for

Recommendations for Solving Low Rates of College Readiness at James Monroe High School,

West Virginia, there are notable psychometric theories that describe the concept of human

intelligence that will be effective to provide resolution and recommendations based on the data

to management Low Rates of College Readiness at James Monroe High School. Thus,

accommodating theories such as Gardner's Theory of Multiple intelligence will be effective in

establishing an intelligence-based solution for the Low Rates of College Readiness at James

Monroe High School.

Theoretical Framework Overview

The Gardner Theory of Multiple Intelligence submitted that for one to accommodate the

full range of abilities and talents that people possess, individuals have the intellectual capacity,

and notable distinctive intelligence, including musical, interpersonal, spatial-visual, and

linguistic intelligence (Michele, 2020). Significantly, the theorist proposed seven notable forms

including linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and

interpersonal associations. Accordingly, the theory implies that learning and teaching should

accommodate learner-centric approaches to embrace varying factors that influence the

outcomes. Importantly, Logical-mathematical intelligence is critical for effective performance

and critical reasoning that is central to learning, teaching, and performance. According to

Kapur (2018), there are notable factors that influence the performance of students on

performance and readiness. The findings revealed that fundamental factors such as school,

environment teaching methods, learners' attitudes, and parental support are critical for effective

readiness and performance in a school. Significantly, the theory will be effective in providing

an effective area to support the need for effective articulation on different intelligence levels

and areas among learners at James Monroe High School for effective solutions,

recommendations, and changes for better readiness in performance.

Relevancy

In research to investigate the effectiveness of Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence

in learning and teaching, the results indicated that the teachers and educators are more involved

with students and creating an environment for learners to maximize their attitude, readiness,

and effective learning for overall performance. Similarly, accommodating the concepts of the

theory such as learner-centric approaches to managing the factors influencing reediness and

performance will provide a framework and structure, holding or supporting the theory of the

study by introducing and describing a theory applicable in the research study as a significant

conceptual framework. Furthermore, Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence provides an

effective platform to accommodate significant applications in managing differences in teachers

and learners to create a common ground for effective applications in the research study.

Furthermore, (Duwal & Khonju, 2020) offered effective research to investigate factors

influencing students’ academic performance and learning attitude at Community Colleges in

Bhaktapur District. The study revealed that there are internal and external factors that impact a

student's performance.Thus, applying Gardner's Theory of Multiple intelligence as the

fundamental theoretical framework is critical in addressing musical, interpersonal, spatial-

visual, and linguistic intelligence for effective solutions and recommendations in a research

study for Recommendations for Solving Low Rates of College Readiness at James Monroe

High School, West Virginia.
