Naturalistic intelligence is a part of multiple intelligences, while problem-solving skills are part of higher-order thinking. Both are learning outcomes required to be developed and improved since these competences were considered poor in Indonesia. Field trip is a learning method that can encourage students to interact directly with the real object in nature. That learning method is expected to improve students' naturalistic intelligence and problem-solving skills. In this case, this research was conducted to discover the influence of field trip on students' naturalistic intelligence and problem-solving skills. This research was an experimental research using pre-test and post-test design. The eighth-graders of Islamic school (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) Pameungpeuk, Garut, year of 2017/2018 were employed as the respondents. The obtained data were analysed using the average comparison tests, which were t-test (for parametric data) and Wilcoxon test (for nonparametric data) with α value of 0.05. Based on the analysis, there was a significant difference of students' natural intelligence with the sign value of 00,05. These results were supported by the percentage of the affective aspect questionnaire in naturalistic intelligence. In problem-solving skills analysis, the test score revealed a significant difference with sign value of 0.025 even though the results of the questionnaire only showed a slight difference. Therefore, it was concluded that field trip influenced students' naturalistic intelligence, however, it had no influence on the affective aspect of problemsolving skills, and conversely it influenced the cognitive aspect of problem-solving skills. Field trip is potential to be an alternative method for teacher in junior high school to improve naturalistic intelligence and problem-solving skills applied in ecosystem subject.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
