Developing of Multiple Intelligences-Based Elementary School Learning Kits to Improve Student Creativity

Abstract

This study aims to produce multiple intelligences-based learning kits that are (1) feasible and (2) effective for improving the creative character of fifth grade elementary school students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, as well as using questionnaires and formative tests. The model feasibility data was analyzed using the content validity coefficient formula from Aiken's formula, and the second stage trial analysis used paired sample t-test analysis. The results of the study: (1) the resulting learning device is feasible as a multiple intelligence-based learning tool to improve the creativity character of fifth grade elementary school students. (2) the resulting learning kits are effective as learning kits based on multiple intelligences to improve the creativity character of fifth grade elementary school students. The results of the small group and wide group test of fifth grade SD/MI students showed that there was a significant increase in student character, namely the character of student creativity, and an increase in multiple intelligences, namely interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist intelligence. These results indicate that this research produces an effective multiple intelligences-based learning kits to improve the creativity character of fifth grade elementary school students
