Subclaims¶

q2 i? Experimental-group students improved primarily in intrapersonal, interpersonal, kinesthetic, visual-spatial and musical intelligences, while logical-mathematical intelligence tended to remain or decrease. → Winarti 2019 q2 i? The logical-mathematical decrease may reflect the instrument: 5 of its 7 items concern numbers and calculation rather than logic, so scientific-logic gains were not captured. → Winarti 2019 (2)

Winarti 2019¶

Winarti, A., Yuanita, L., & Nur, M. (2019). The effectiveness of multiple intelligences based teaching strategy in enhancing the multiple intelligences and Science Process Skills of junior high school students.

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive analysis of MI sub-scores before and after the 12-week quasi-experiment; the experimental group improved in five named intelligence types while control-group MI scores did not improve. No effect sizes are printed for the sub-scores.

"In the experimental group, students' MI scores improved primarily in five types of intelligences, namely intrapersonal, interpersonal, kinesthetic, visual spatial, and musical intelligences. Linguistic intelligence was slightly increased, while the mathematical-logic intelligence tends to remain."

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Authors' interpretation of the logical-mathematical decrease: the MI instrument's 7 items for that intelligence are weighted toward calculation, so development of scientific logic was not captured. This is an author explanation, not a tested result.

"From the 7 items, 5 items are related to numbers, calculation, and interest in mathematics, and only two items relate to the ability of logic."
