The impact of multiple intelligences on students' mathematics learning outcomes: A review

Abstract

This study aims to describe the impact of each type of multiple intelligence on student success in learning mathematics. We synthesized twenty articles based on the following criteria: (1) research articles contain empirical evidence of the impact of multiple intelligences on students' mathematics learning outcomes, (2) articles from journals published in the 2011-2020 period. The results of the review show that each type of multiple intelligence has a positive impact on students' mathematics learning outcomes in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. However, we found no empirical evidence of any impact of existentialist intelligence on student success in mathematics. Therefore, teachers need to empower each type of intelligence that students have so that student's mathematics learning outcomes can be optimal.
