Variety of Human Intelligence: Implications for Education and Self-Development

Maulidia Maulidia — 2025-05-01

The conventional education system has been dominated by an approach emphasizing logical-mathematical and linguistic intelligence, as measured through IQ tests. The theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) developed by Howard Gardner states that humans have eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This study aims to examine how the theory of Multiple Intelligences can be applied in the education and self-development system to accommodate the diversity of individual potential optimally. This research uses a literature study method by examining various scientific sources related to MI, education, and self-potential development. The study results show that the MI-based learning approach encourages the application of more diverse, inclusive, and adaptive teaching strategies to students' learning styles. On the other hand, individuals who understand their intelligence profile can design appropriate learning strategies, choose educational and career paths more consciously, and develop potential in a balanced personal and social aspect. MI theory expands the scope of holistic education and becomes an important foundation in shaping reflective, independent, and competitive individuals.

Dhea Ganap — 2025-06-13

Note-taking is an essential skill that plays a significant role in academic success. Effective note-taking techniques have been shown to be very helpful while learning a language, such as English. This study sought to determine the relationship between note-taking strategy and student English proficiency at a private senior high school.

Descriptive and correlation analyses were utilized on the gathered data. The researchers recruited 75 respondents using non-probability sampling techniques in a selected private senior high school’s grade 11 science class to participate in the study. According to the results, students' mean note-taking scores were 3.16, which were evaluated as moderate level, and the mean English achievement score was 72.14, which were regarded as low level.

Analysis of the Effect of Time Management on Students’ Academic Procrastination (Case Study: STIA Lancang Kuning Dumai)

Jessyca Elviona — 2025-06-14

This study aims to analyze the influence of time management on academic procrastination among students at STIA Lancang Kuning Dumai. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to active students from various semesters and study programs. The findings indicate that although most students are aware of the importance of time management, its practical implementation remains inconsistent. Poor time management is closely associated with academic procrastination behaviors such as delaying the start and completion of tasks, failing to follow through on plans, and opting for non-academic distractions. Factors contributing to procrastination include lack of motivation, involvement in extracurricular activities, digital distractions, and high academic pressure. Students with structured time management practices, such as planning, prioritizing, and maintaining schedule discipline, tend to procrastinate less. The study suggests that educational institutions should provide structured training and academic counseling to improve students' time management skills and reduce procrastination, thereby enhancing academic performance sustainably.

Nelly Amalia — 2025-06-19

Local values play a strategic role in shaping the character and identity of students, especially in the context of Vocational High Schools (SMK) which prepare students to enter the workforce while maintaining local cultural roots. In Warungkondang District, Cianjur Regency, the tradition of making tempeh has become part of the community's life which is rich in cultural values such as mutual cooperation, hard work, responsibility, and independence. However, in learning practices at SMK Al Ahmad, this local potential has not been fully integrated into the curriculum, especially in the Arts and Crafts (SBDP) subject. In fact, learning based on local wisdom can strengthen the relevance and meaningfulness of the education process. This study aims to analyze how craft learning by making tempeh can strengthen local values and foster student independence. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects of the study included SBDP teachers and grade X students at SMK Al Ahmad. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.

The results of the study showed that project-based craft learning of making tempeh carried out in a participatory and contextual manner had a positive impact on strengthening students' independent character. Students showed increased ability in planning, making decisions, solving problems, and increasing self-confidence and responsibility. Strengthening local values through the learning process also fosters appreciation for regional culture and strengthens the relationship between schools and communities. Thus, the integration of local wisdom in craft learning is proven to not only enrich students' learning experiences, but also be an effective strategy in character building. This model can be replicated and developed in other contexts as a contribution to contextual, transformative, and sustainable education.

Consumer Satisfaction Within the Framework of Sharia: Study on the Influence of QRIS in Sanana District

Rifani Gorontalo — 2025-05-30

One of the important transformations is the digitalization of payment systems through cashless platforms. This study aims to examine the influence of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) on consumer satisfaction within the framework of Sharia principles in Sanana District, North Maluku. In the digital transaction era, QRIS has emerged as a national standard for cashless payments, offering convenience, speed, and security. However, the extent to which QRIS affects consumer satisfaction, especially in semi-rural areas with limited digital literacy, remains underexplored. Using a quantitative method with a descriptive-associative approach, the study surveyed 30 consumers who had used QRIS in daily transactions. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via LISREL 8.80. The results show that QRIS has a positive and significant impact on consumer satisfaction (coefficient = 0.41; t-value = 9.66; p < 0.001). In addition, ease of use (0.35; t = 9.41) and transaction speed (0.38; t = 8.36) also significantly influence satisfaction. These findings suggest that QRIS is not only an effective digital payment solution but also aligns with Islamic financial ethics, promoting transparency, fairness, and efficiency.

Qurrotul A'ini — 2025-07-12

This study aims to determine the completeness of social studies learning outcomes of grade IV students of SD Negeri 47 Lubuklinggau after applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Learning Model Assisted by Media Spinning Wheel. This type of research is quantitative research. With a research sample of 25 students in grade IVB of SD Negeri 47 Lubuklinggau. The data collection techniques used in this study are tests, observations, interviews and documentation. The data analysis techniques in this study are to determine the standard and mean deviation, normality test (Chi squared) and hypothesis test (t-test). The result of this study is that in the post test hypothesis calculation can be obtained tcount = 1.842 and ttable = 1.711. The tester's criterion is that if the tcount ≥ ttabul, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. If the tcount ≤ the table, then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected. Based on the calculation of the hypothesis test above, it was obtained that the tcount of ≥ ttable (1,842 ≥ 1,711) was rejected and Ha was accepted. In other words, the hypothesis proposed in this study can be accepted as true, meaning "The learning outcomes of grade V students in the learning of IPAS SD Negeri 47 Lubuklinggau after the implementation of the CTL learning model assisted by Media Spinning Wheel are significantly complete.
