Abstract

Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests that each student has unique characteristics and multiple forms of intelligence, which are critical to their learning achievement. The International Class Program (ICP) at MAN 2 Ponorogo is a unique class characteristic that provides an international-standard learning environment with advanced facilities and specialized guidance for students with different interests, particularly in English proficiency. The underlying problem of this research was the difficulties of the students and teachers in identifying specific types of intelligence that the students have. Students recognize their strengths but are often unaware of their specific types of intelligence, which will affect their motivation to learn. On the other hand, teachers also experienced challenges in identifying the various types of intelligence in each student that can be explicitly used in implementing appropriate learning strategies.
This study aims to 1) identify the kinds of intelligence among students in ICP at MAN 2 Ponorogo, 2) explore the role of multiple intelligences in influencing students' learning motivation, and 3) analyze the teachers' strategies to accommodate various kinds of intelligence in the classroom. Furthermore, this research provides beneficial information for teachers about the teaching strategies that may be suitable for the students' multiple intelligences, especially in teaching English with the diverse kinds of intelligence and motivation of the students in the class.
This study used a case study design using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included observation of class environment and teacher accommodation, interviews for the students to explore the motivation and the teacher about the strategies of learning, and questionnaires to identify the kinds of intelligence and motivation of students. Data were analyzed using the theory from Miles and Huberman. It involved data condensation, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusions.
The study's findings revealed that intrapersonal, logical-mathematical, and kinesthetic intelligence were dominant among students. If they are aware of their intelligence type, they will learn in a way that they are comfortable with and like, which can also affect their motivation. The results showed that the teachers in the ICP class used differentiated learning strategies, adjusting lessons to students' strengths and preferred learning styles. This study provides valuable insights into how students' multiple intelligences can influence learning motivation and even improve learning achievement with the role of differentiated learning strategies from the teacher to accommodate diverse intelligence.
