The effectiveness of math learning based on multiple intelligence: Implications at MTs Darul Ma'wa

Abstract

The diversity of students sometimes becomes an obstacle in determining effective learning methods. Therefore, the teacher learning process is required to be able to facilitate any existing diversity. This is a Class Action Research (CAR) that aims to analyze learning effectiveness based on Multiple Intelegences. The research was conducted at MTs Darul Ma'wa Gayabaru VI 2019/2020 school years. The subject consists of 17 students from 8th grade of odd semester. The technique of collecting data used observations, questionnaires, and test. Data analysis using descriptive. The results showed implementation learning strategies based on multiple intelegences effective to improve student learning outcomes. Based on data, the percentage of learning outcomes from cycle 1 to cycle 2 increase i.e 41,17% in cycle 1 to 76,47% in cycle 2 with Minimum Completeness Criteria (MCC) score is 70 and target Class Action Research (CAR) is 75% of all students who received a score of ≥ 70. Based on these conclusions, the authors recommend multiple intelligence-based learning strategies in learning mathematics, learning materials especially two-dimensional figure.
