EFFECT OF APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE AND ANALITICAL THINKING SKILLS THROUGH MODULAR ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

This study aims to test the effectiveness of two enrichment activity modules based on problem solving. The first enrichment activity module is based on four types of multiple intelligence (KK) while the second module integrates aspects of multiple intelligence and analytical thinking skills (KK + KBA). Application of four types of intelligence are introduced by Gardner (1983) consists of visual spatial, kinesthetic, musical and interpersonal. While analytical thinking skills are introduced by Sternberg (1996) in successful intelligence theory (successful intelligence). This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design. It was conducted in two MARA Junior Science Colleges (MJSC) representing the treatment group 1 (KR1) and treatment group 2 (KR2). KR1 use the KK module, while KR2 use the KK + KBA module. Two types of instruments were used, namely Sternberg Triarchic Ability Test (STAT) and multiple intelligence tests (McKenzie, 2000). Analysis using ANCOVA with pre-test as a covariate were made in order to see the effect of different multiple intelligence profiles and the level of analytical thinking skills between the two treatment groups. The results showed that the integration of the four types of intelligence and analytical thinking skills through modular enrichment activities increase the multiple intelligence profiles and level of analytical thinking skills KR2 significantly.
