The Effect of Multiple Intelligence-Based Learning Towards Students’ Concept Mastery and Interest in Matter

Abstract

This research was focused on investigating the effect of multiple intelligence -based learning as a learning approach towards students’ concept mastery and interest in learning matter. The one-group pretest-posttest design was used in this research towards a sample which was according to the suitable situation of the research sample, n = 13 students of the 7th grade in Nusa Laila Puteri School in Bandar Seri Begawan. The students’ concept mastery was measured using achievement test and given at the pretest and posttest, meanwhile the students’ interest level was measured using a Likert Scale for interest. Based on the analysis of the data, the result shows that the normalized gain was .61, which was considered as a medium improvement. in other words, students’ concept mastery in matter increased after being taught using multiple intelligence-based learning. The Likert scale of interest shows that most students have a high interest in learning matter after being taught by multiple intelligence-based learning. Therefore, it is concluded that multiple intelligence – based learning helped in improving students’ concept mastery and gain students’ interest in learning matter.

A Qualitative-Exploratory Pilot Study To Explore Students’ Perception On Experience And Multiple Intelligences’ Impact On Their Linguistic & Personal Growth

“…Moreover, as Ahmed (2012) exposed, teaching using only methods based on one single intelligence would help only students that excel in that defined intelligence rather than improving the strengths of the whole classroom. Therefore, applying a varied model of teaching may boosts students' motivation and also increase their attitude towards learning and life itself (Baş e Beyhan, 2010;Pratiwi, Rochintaniawati & Agustin, 2018). To support these statements, there have been reported these three student testimonies that may let us reflect: "The lesson should be more contextualised and related to the existing reality.…”

The Effect of STEAM-based Learning on Students’ Concept Mastery and Creativity in Learning Light And Optics

“…Compare to the other method, in Pratiwi, Rochintaniawati, & Agustin (2018) stated that the improvement of students' concept mastery after implemented the multiple intelligent-based learning resulted in medium improvement as much as 0.61. hence, every method will have a different result.…”

The Effect of Multiple Intelligences-Based Instruction on Learning Motivation and Learning Achievement in Science Courses

“…The past literature has shown that implementing MI theories in teaching natural sciences can improve the learning motivation, learning achievement, and learning attitude of junior high and elementary school students (Hsu, 2003;Tsai, 2002;Lin, 2001;Lei, 2001;Cutshall, 2003;Ozdemir, Guneysu, & Tekkaya, 2006;Abdi, Laee, & Ahmadyan, 2013;Pratiwi, Rochintaniawati, & Agustin, 2018), but that it results in no significant difference in learning achievement and attitude (Ma, 2002;Köksal & Yel, 2007). However, the subjects of MI theory studies in Taiwan were mostly elementary school students.…”
