The instrument for measuring logical-mathematical intelligence of low-grade elementary school students

Abstract

The limited measurement of students' multiple intelligence, especially students' logical-mathematical intelligence, is the main reason for this research. The purpose of this study is to produce instruments to measure the logical-mathematical intelligence of low-grade elementary school students. Research and Development are used in this research. The study population was all students in Purwakarta. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The sample was 27 students of the second-grade elementary school in Purwakarta. Validity testing produces nine indicators that are represented by five activity items that are observed through an observation sheet having high validity. The reliability test results through the Cronbach's Alpha calculation produce a stable instrument with a value of 0.81 > 0.60 for all items. Thus, logical-mathematical intelligence instruments can be utilized in learning in low-grade elementary schools.
