Teacher Strategies for Improving Multiple Intelligences Using a Stimulus Approach in Elementary Schools

Abstract

Abstrak. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the pedagogical methods used by instructors in elementary schools to enhance multiple intelligences through the utilization of a stimulus-based approach. The study aims to enhance the multiple intelligences of students by emphasizing the development of fundamental competencies within the domains of social, cultural, and economic studies. This study employs the case study methodology, using data-gathering techniques such as observation and interviews. The research used a sample consisting of class instructors, theme teachers, and students in grades 3, 4, and 5. The assessment of an individual's intellect extends beyond mere test scores or IQ measurements, including a broader spectrum of competencies. The findings of the study indicate that there is variability in intelligence across students, with some individuals exhibiting several competencies. The educator's instructional strategy has a significant impact on the students, facilitating the development of their cognitive abilities. In order to enhance multiple intelligences in pupils during an age of advanced growth, educators must adopt an open, creative, and inventive mindset. This will enable them to devise techniques that may effectively promote improvement.
