This study aimed to develop a science learning tool based on the 7E learning cycle model that is valid to improve the mastery of concepts and science process skills for Junior high school students. The device development carried out refers to the Research and Development (R & D) development model based on the Thiagarajan 4D development model which includes the design, define, develop and disseminate stages. Based on the results of validation by 3 expert validators, it was obtained that the average value of the validity of the learning learning tools developed included the Syllabus 83.33%, lesson plan 81.48%, student worksheet 74.17%, Concept Mastery Assessment Instruments 77.78% and science process skills tests 80.00%. Based on the results of validation by 3 validators, In conclusion, the science learning device based on the 7E learning model developed is valid for use in learning.

The study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of teaching strategy based on Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory to improve multiple intelligences and science process skills of junior high school students in Indonesia. The study used quasi experimental design and the effectiveness of the teaching strategy was evaluated by pretest-posttest-control-group design. The samples consisted of two schools selected by Stratified Random Sampling. The experimental group (n=63) was taught using the MI strategy while the control group (n=61) was taught using the traditional strategy. This study was conducted in 12 weeks. Data were obtained from multiple intelligences test, science process skills test, and observation sheets. The hypotheses of student multiple intelligences and science process skills were tested using Wilcoxon’s Signed Rank Test and ANOVA test. The results indicated that students who were instructed by using MI strategy improved on four specific types of multiple intelligences namely visual spatial, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, and musical intelligences. However, the interpersonal logic remains unchanged, while the mathematical logic decreases after treatment. Also, these showed an improvement of the science process skills, specifically in the questioning ability.
