Multiple Intelligences and Physical Education Curriculum: Application and Reflection of Every Education Level in Indonesia

Abstract

Physical education lesson was commonly interpreted as sport education. As a result, sport skill and achievement were the main achievement in physical education class. Student who could perform many sport skills will love physical education a lot, on other hand student who could not perform well would not like this lesson. However, the main purpose in the physical education lesson is not only about sport, but also to promote a healthy life (body and mind). So, the ability in sport is not the main goal, nevertheless they are only used to achieve the healthy body and mind for every student who learns in this class as the primary goal. In Indonesia the implementation of physical education is regulated by the government regulation, especially for elementary and high school level. Whereas the implementation on physical education lesson in preschool and university level, depends on the institution decision. The main duty of a physical education teacher is to encourage every student (who are good or not in sport skill) to have a healthy life, and it could be applied easier by a good understanding of the multiple intelligence theory. This research aims to provide an interesting view of physical education class by using multiple intelligences theory. Moreover, this study also analyzes the application and Reflection of MI in Physical Education Lesson in preschool, elementary school, junior high school, senior high school and university. This is a qualitative research with participantobserver study in several schools about 4 years. There are some typical multiple intelligence characteristics on every education level. The implication and suggestion for physical education class will be explained in this paper.

The Importance of Basketball for High School Students. Part 1 (Attractiveness Dimension Analysis)

“…The high school physical education curriculum in Indonesia is structured in 7 dimensions. The first one is about Games and sports, and basketball is mentioned together with soccer, volleyball, badminton and traditional sports (Ardha et al, 2018).…”

Integration of multiple intelligence in the learning process of physical education in elementary school based on teacher gender

“…Multiple intelligences can be defined as multiple potentials and the ability to adapt to various conditions and problems. Everyone has eight intelligence profiles, but everyone has their own strengths as the dominant intelligence profile (Ardha et al, 2018). The multiple intelligences approach to teaching allows teachers to incorporate ele-ments of creativity into their instructional designs, in which student-centered activities can be carried out in eight different ways based on the eight types of multiple intelligences (Sulaiman, Abdurahman, & Rahim, 2010).…”

“…Discovering students' diverse abilities and providing diverse experiences are critical components in assisting students in becoming physically educated individuals (NASPE, 1992). A physical education teacher's main task is to encourage every student (whether they are good or bad at sports) to live a healthy life, which is easier to do if they understand the theory of multiple intelligences (Ardha et al, 2018).…”

Developing a workshop model for high school mathematics teachers in constructing HOTS questions through the Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia approach

“…According to the study's findings, the principal's efforts include Teacher Working Groups (MGMP in Bahasa), comparative studies, supervising learning, visiting teachers, seminars, workshops, and providing teacher motivation. Lack of adequate facilities and infrastructure, lack of awareness from teachers to increase or develop their potential, and the inability of some senior teachers to operate computers or online learning devices are impediments to school principals increasing teacher competence (Ardha et al, 2018). The next step is to engage teachers in seminars and workshops.…”
