PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS MASALAH DAN KECERDASAN NATURALIS TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN SISWA DALAM MEMECAHKAN MASALAH LINGKUNGAN HIDUP (Studi Eksperimen Di SMPN 1 Mataram NTB)

Abstract

The objective of the research is to determine the influence of problem based
learning, naturalistic intelligence, and their interaction on students’ ability in
environment problem solving. The research was conducted at State Junior High School
1 Mataram, Nusa Tenggara Barat, 2011 with n=36 selected randomly.
The research are as follows: (1) the ability in environment problem solving of
the students who learned using monolithic natural environment study is significant
higher than those who learned using integrated natural environment study (2) The
ability in environment problem solving of those whose high naturalistic intelligence is
significant higher than those whose low naturalistic intelligence (3) the ability in
environment problem solving for those whose high naturalistic intelligence but learned
using monolithic natural environment study is significantly higher than those who
learned using the integrated one (4) the ability in environment problem solving for
those whose low naturalistic intelligence but learned using monolithic natural
environment study is not significant different from those who learned using the
integrated one (5) the ability in environment problem solving of those who learned
using monolithic natural environment study but whose high naturalistic intelligence is
significant higher than those whose low naturalistic intelligence (6) the ability in
environment problem solving of those whose low naturalistic intelligence but learned
using monolithic natural environment study is not significant different from those who
learned using the integrated one.
Based on the result of research, the students’ ability in solving environmental
problems might be significantly improved by teaching them using monolithic approach
as well as considering their naturalistic intelligence.
