Implementasi Pembelajaran Berbasis Kecerdasan Majemuk dalam PAI di MIN 4 Gayo Lues

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of multiple intelligences-based learning methods in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) subjects at MIN 4 Gayo Lues. The multiple intelligences approach offers a new perspective to accommodate different learning styles and the unique potential of each student, which is expected to improve learning outcomes and interest. The research method used was qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with IRE teachers, and documentation studies. The results indicate that the implementation of this method was carried out in several stages: (1) identification of students' multiple intelligence profiles, (2) design of lesson plans that varied activities according to intelligence types (linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist), and (3) implementation of more diversified assessments. This implementation proved to have a positive impact on creating a more inclusive, active, and enjoyable learning environment. Students became more enthusiastic and engaged in the IRE learning process because they could learn according to their dominant strengths. However, challenges such as teachers' time constraints in planning and the availability of teaching aids remained obstacles. The conclusion of this research is that the multiple intelligences-based learning method is an effective and relevant strategy for improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning at the elementary level.
