: Students with special needs (MBK) should not be considered students who fail or have no future. Although MBKs are those with intellectual problems or shortcomings, they may have strengths or powers in other areas that need to be identified and improved. The respondents who were the sample of this study were 44 people consisting of MBK with intellectual disability, dyslexia, and visual impairment. This research employed instruments of academic success perception (α = 0.78, construct validity = 0.85), multiple intelligences (α = 0.86, construct validity = 0.87), and interview protocol to recognise the dominant aspects of MBK to build further the framework of courses advanced/vocational following the interests of the respondents. The dominant aspect for the perception of academic success was External / Future (μ = 3.43, SD = 0.38), while the most dominant aspect for multiple intelligences was Visual-Spatial Intelligence (μ = 3.22, SD = 0.46). The dominant aspects were also very relevant to MBK’s choice of advanced/vocational courses, particularly cooking, bakery, sewing, carpentry, entrepreneurs, logistics, and mechanics. It is hoped that this study’s conclusions can present information on the courses that are the authentic choice among MBKs for consideration by stakeholders in offering advanced/vocational courses to this group.

Underachievement as a phenomenon among school students exists in all subjects,but it is more pronounced in English, especially among students whose medium of learning is vernacular.The multiple intelligences-based instruction has been suggested as a remedy for overcoming the achievement discrepancy in English among EFL learners.This requires understanding the multiple intelligences of underachievers in English in comparison with their overachieving counterparts. The study aims to compare underachievers and overachievers in English with respect to their multiple intelligences.The participants of the study consisted of 85 underachievers and 77 overachievers in English, separated statistically by employing regression method from a larger sample of 447 ninth grade students of Kerala. Data were collected by administering Multiple Intelligences Scale for Secondary School Students,developed by the investigator. Inferential analysis by employing independent sample t-test revealed that underachievers and overachievers in English differed significantly in their Verbal-linguistic intelligence, Visual-spatial intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence and Naturalistic intelligence. The overachievers excel the underachievers in all the five components of multiple intelligences.The underachievers and overachievers in English were found almost alike in their Logical-mathematical intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Musical intelligence, Existential intelligence and Moral-ethical intelligence.

This study aims to find out the multiple intelligences among a sample of students with learning difficulties from their own perspective. The sample consisted of 220 students from fourth, fifth, and sixth primary grades in the directorate of education of the greater Amman area. For the purposes of the study, the researcher developed a multiple intelligences assessment tool with 72 items. The tool validity and reliability were estimated and showed acceptable validity and reliability. The findings indicated that social intelligence was the most prevalent, then visual-spatial intelligence, naturalist intelligence, existential intelligence, linguistic intelligences, logical mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, and interpersonal. The least prevalent was sense of intelligence adynamic. The results also showed differences (p ≤ 0.05) in the prevalence of multiple intelligences of the students with learning disabilities due to sex in favor of females. Also, the results showed differences in the prevalence of multiple intelligences among students with learning disabilities due to the type of learning difficulty.

This article discusses on the urgence of multiple intelligences-based education.  In education, the multiple intelligences approach is very relevant to the spirit of education as a process of humanizing human being. Everyone should be served individually because he/she has different potential. Therefore, indicator of achievement is depended on the individual uniqueness. There is no single indicator on achievement. The multiple intelligences highlightes there are nine kinds of intelligence, namely linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, rythmic-musical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, natural intelligence, and existential intelligence. Through this approach, the educational process should be able to produce many champions suitable of each potential

This is a qualitative-descriptive analytic research aims to explore cues in the Qur'an that describe the concept of multiple intelligences. In Islam, the Qur’an is a complete guide for life. Indeed, many books that talk about multiple intelligences. However, there hasn’t been a book that specifically explain multiple intelligences according to the perspective of the Qur’an. This qualitative research used a literature review (research library)—data obtained through a literary approach in library data collection. The data were then analyzed using a thematic interpretation approach (maudhu'i). The results of this study: (1) deep linguistic intelligence-Nisa: 82, Al-Baqarah: 171, Al-An'am: 50, Ali Imran: 7; (2) Logical-mathematical intelligence in Al-Waqiah: 58-59, Al-Insan: 2, Ar-Ra'du: 3, Al-Anbiya: 30, An-Nur: 43; (3) visual-spatial intelligence in Ar-Ra'du: 3, Qaf: 7-8; (4) kinesthetic intelligence in Al-Baqarah: 219, Yasin: 68; (5) musical intelligence in Asy-Syuara: 221-227; (6) intrapersonal intelligence in Adz-Dzariyat: 21, Al-Baqarah: 44, Yasin: 62, Al-Mulk: 10; (7) interpersonal intelligence in Ar-Rum: 21, Al-Baqarah: 76, Ali Imran: 118; (8) naturalist intelligence in Al-Baqarah: 164, An-Nahl: 11, An-Nahl: 69, Al-Ghasyiyah: 17; (9) existentialist intelligence in Yunus: 24, Az-Zumar: 42, Al-Baqarah: 269. Researchers suggest educational institutions should add new insights regarding their learning strategies with multiple intelligences, especially those whose source of inspiration is the Qur'an and to other researchers should examine concept of musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and naturalist intelligence perspective of the Qur’an

Multiple Intelligences (MI) is a theory about intelligence that was triggered by Dr. Howard Gardner, a figure in education and psychology. Multiple Intelligences consist of linguistic intelligence, logic-mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, gesture intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, naturalist intelligence. Everyone has MI at different levels. Therefore, each teacher should be able to understand the intelligence and abilities of each student well, this is because the conditions of students in the class are different and have different levels of intelligence. This is in accordance with the role of the teacher as a motivator, facilitator, and director. Many benefits can be obtained by knowing the level of MI of students, both for schools and for students themselves. some of the benefits of MI for students and schools, for students if the MI level is known it can increase their self-confidence and help students to choose majors. For schools the level of MI that students have can help teachers focus more on the learning process, helping to group students, can approach students according to the type of intelligence they have. In addition, by knowing the level of MI of students, teachers can develop optimally the potential that exists in students and can choose the right strategy in the learning process. From the results of observations at SMAN 1 V Koto Kampung Dalam Padang Pariaman it can be seen that there is no meaningful relationship between the MI overall and MI partially with the learning outcomes

<p>This research is done for the development of students’ worksheet (LKPD) about multiple intelligences-based lens materials for improving the students’ visual-spatial intelligence and results of learning of SMP N 2 Banda Aceh. This research uses a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest group. The sampling was done by purposive sampling technique. The data collection was conducted with pretest and posttest for visual-spatial intelligence and learning outcomes. The questionnaire was used to determine the response of students after using students’ worksheet based on multiple bits of intelligence. The results of normality and homogenity test show that the data was homogen and normally distributed. Therefore, the average difference test against the N-gain visual-spatial intelligence and learning outcomes between the two classes used t test and obtained a significant difference in learning outcomes between the two classes. The average score of the N-gain visual-spatial intelligence and learning outcomes for both classes was in the middle category, where the experimental class is 0.65 (65%), while for class gained control is 0.46 (46%). Learners gave a positive response to the use of multiple intelligences-based students’ worksheet dealing with lens materials that can enhance their visual-spatial intelligence and learning outcomes.</p>

<p>Multiple intelligences development in early childhood is a learning process that will be developed by early childhood educators in the implementation of learning educators who want to teach a subject matter, then the educators to teach in accordance with the trend of learning styles of learners. Because in one classroom there are some students who each have different intelligences. This research on multiple intelligence development in early childhood.</p><p> </p><p>The purpose of this study were (1) to determine the definition of multiple intelligences; (2) to determine the types of multiple intelligences; (3) to implement learning activities focused on the development of intelligence plural (multiple intelligences).</p><p> </p><p>This paper use a qualitative approach (library research). It try to gain an understanding of the holistic about the problems being faced by the reality (Sugiyono (2010: 1). The method of this study appeared as a paradigm shift in looking at reality or phenomena or symptoms.</p><p> </p><p>Every school should  be able to develop intelligence potential of each child. Paradigm of  intelligence and child's success is only assessed on IQ or mark, whereas the concept of multiple intelligences is, Howard Gardner argues that each student is intelligent. And intelligence is not just one, but plural. The type rather than the multiple intelligences include, among others: (1) Intelligence of logic or mathematics is the intelligence in terms of numbers and logic. ; (2) The language or linguistic intelligence is the intelligence of word processing, or the ability to use words effectively both orally and in writing. ; (3) visual-spatial intelligence is one part of the plural intelligence which is closely linked to the ability to visualize images; (4) musical intelligence is the ability to handle musical forms; (5) Physical intelligence is an intelligence which currently use are capable of doing great movements, such as running, dancing .; (6) The naturalist intelligence is the expertise to identify and categorize the species (flora and fauna) in the surrounding neighborhood .; (7) intrapersonal intelligence is the ability of ourselves to think reflectively; (8) Interpersonal intelligence is to think by communicating with others; (9) an existential intelligence is the ability to feel and appreciate the variety of spiritual experiences on the appropriate lesson or understanding of faith in God.</p>

Although the Hooper Visual Organization Test (VOT) is commonly described as a measure of “visual-spatial integration,” face validity suggests it measures global visual-spatial intelligence similar to the revised edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) performance IQ (PIQ) subtests. The present study investigated the construct validity of the VOT by comparing it to conceptually similar and dissimilar cognitive abilities in a principal components factor analysis of 240 participants with cognitive impairment. Results indicated that the VOT falls within a global visual-spatial factor and shares the following variance with the other tests that loaded on this factor: WAIS-R PIQ subtests, 12% to 23%; Category Test, 11%; the revised edition of the Wechsler Memory Scale Visual Reproduction I subtest, 10%; and the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, 9%. Previous studies, current results, and face validity suggest the VOT is best considered a measure of global visual-spatial intelligence. Clinical implications are discussed.
