Multiple Intelligence of the Fourth Year English Department Students of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh Dwi Settya Mahaputri

Multiple Intelligence (MI) is very important to modern education because its main point is that every individual has eight intelligences and they all work together in a unique way. This research belongs to Descriptive research analyzing students’ MI of the fourth year English department of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh. The data were collected through questionnaires which had been distributed to 20 students. Then it was analyzed by interpreting in each Intelligence. The finding shows that most of the students had good in Interpersonal Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, and Intrapersonal Intelligence. And they are good enough at Naturalist Intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence, and Spatial Intelligence. However, they are low at Linguistic Intelligence and Logical-mathematic Intelligence.


Students' of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan
Payakumbuh is prepared to be teacher later on.As a candidate of teacher, they have to pay particular attention to their education.Education plays a very crucial role in students' advancements to face job field in the future.They have to be able to choose excellent educations to increase their intelligence.Intelligence is the ability to solve problems or to create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings.A Psychologist and Harvard professor, Howard Gardner, proposed a much broader view of the definition of intelligence which is called Multiple Intelligences.
The Multiple Intelligences comprise some intelligences which will be described below:

Linguistic Intelligence:
Students' strength in linguistic intelligence exhibit the ability to use language to express their thoughts and to understand other people.They comfortably and easily manipulate words and languages to express themselves creatively, and use language as a means to remember information.They engage in active listening, fluent speaking and reading enjoy storytelling, explaining and persuading, using humor and word play.They have the capacity to analyze language use and language elements in their first language as well as in second and other languages.These students tend to think in words more than in images.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Students' exhibiting strong logicalmathematical intelligence have the capacity to see and understand the concepts and principles behind causal and numeric systems.They are able to use both deductive and inductive reasoning and logic to analyze and solve problems, and they enjoy manipulating numbers in number puzzles calculations and formulas.These learners can skillfully make connections among pieces of information, as well as recognize cause and effect and other patterns.They tend to employ classifying, sequencing, questioning and experimenting, and computing as strategies for analyzing and retaining information.

Spatial Intelligence
Students with high spatial intelligence have the ability to recognize, create, identify and contemplate deep questions about human existence; use mental questioning as a means to situate and remember information and use images and patterns of wide space and confined space.Using images as a means to remember information, they can easily visualize and orient their bodies and other objects in space and understand maps, charts and graphic organizers.They enjoy puzzles and board games, appreciate detail and color, drawing, painting and plastic arts.They tend to think in images more than in words.

Musical Intelligence
Students' with high musical intelligence have the capacity to hear, recognize, and manipulate patterns found in music and rhythmic structures.They are skilled at composing, playing, or conducting music, recognizing tonal patterns, and utilizing the structure and rhythm of music and rhythms.They are good at remembering melodies and chants, and enjoy playing musical instruments, singing, whistling, and identifying environmental sounds.These learners use sound and rhythm to learn and remember information.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
Students with high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence have the ability to use their whole bodies and parts of their bodies in optimal ways to retain information through touch and movement, to solve problem, to build, take apart, and make something, or to put on a production.They manipulate the body through controlled fine and gross motor skills and handle objects with dexterity.These learners enjoy dancing, playing sports, acting, miming, expressing emotions through body language, and hands-on experimenting.They use their mental abilities to coordinate body movements as a way to process and retain information.

Interpersonal Intelligence
Those exhibiting strong interpersonal intelligence have the ability to understand other people and social relationships.With a facility in communicating with and relating to other people, these learners engage in active listening and are skilled in receiving and identifying body language and facial expressions as signals.They enjoy working collaboratively, social organizing and managing discussions and projects.They can sustain motivation in others and have the capacity for empathy.They often work more effectively with others, rather than individually, to learn and retain information.

Intrapersonal Intelligence
Learners strong in intrapersonal intelligence exhibit perceptive understanding of the self, and are knowledgeable about who they are, what they do, and their motives for doing so.They can consciously identify and control their own inner emotions and thinking processes, recognize their own strengths and weaknesses.Self-analyzing, they dissect their roles in relationship to others, are conscious of their desires, dreams and inner feelings.These learners tend to work independently, they use their strengths and self-reflection as a means to remember information.

Naturalist Intelligence
Learners strong in naturalist intelligence exhibit the ability to discriminate among, care for, and appreciate living things and other features of the natural world.They are able to understand and manipulate the environment, plants, and animals, and use nature-related analogies as a means to remember information.These learners are keen observers of the characteristics, behaviors, and habitats of living things as well as the characteristics of nonliving things.They enjoy gardening, hiking, and exploring nature, as well as caring for animals.
The current study seeks to uncover the students' multiple intelligence of the fourth year English Department at STKIP Abdi Pendidikan, Payakumbuh.

METHOD
This research was descriptive study toinvestigate students' multiple intelligence.Twenty students of the fourth year English Department at STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh in Academic Year 2013/2014 were the subject of this study.They were selected randomly.The data were collected through questionnaires which were developed through criterion, construct and content validity.Its reliability was gotten through expert judgment.The questionnaires were arranged through the eight multiple intelligence.Each intelligence had 10 questions and they were distributed to the samples.Afterwards, the questionnaires were analyzed and classified to determine whether or not the students have the multiple intelligence.

Students Multiple Intelligence
The explanations above draw the multiple intelligence that students' have based on sub-section of each intelligence.Fom that explanation, it can be summarized that the percentage of the fourth year English Department students of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh of Multiple Intelligence had as follow: From the table above, it can be seen that most of the students had very good intelligence in Interpersonal Intelligence with percentage of students is 90%, then they are good in Musical Intelligence with 74% of the students, after that they are also good in Intrapersonal Intelligence with 70% of students.The students had good enough intelligence in Natural Intelligence with 67% of students, Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence with 66% of students, and Spatial Intelligence with 60% of students.And at least they had low in Linguistics Intelligence with 55% of students and Logical Mathematical Intelligence with 39% of students.
It can be interpreted that the most of the students have capacity to understand the intentions, motivations, and desires of other people and, consequently, to work effectively with others.And some or less of the students had low Intelligence at their abilities with words and language.Since the students is English Department students, it should be concerned by the lecturer to increase students ability in this intelligence.And they are also low at solve problems with logic, calculates math problems quickly, and prefers to see things categorized in a logical sense of order.At least, the percentage of Multiple Intelligence that students had can be seen in the following figure: Most of the students had very good intelligence in Interpersonal Intelligence (90%), then they are good in Musical Intelligence (74%), after that they are also good in Intrapersonal Intelligence (70%).That means the students are very good in making friends, like to learn through music and also have good responsibility of their self management.
The students had good enough intelligence in Natural Intelligence (67%), Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence (66%), and Spatial Intelligence (60%).They are good enough to do observation and experience and a little bit genuinely appreciate the intertwining of natural forces.They are also good enough in understand the world through their own body.Moreover, these students are good enough to create and manipulate mental images in order to solve problems.
And at least they had low in Linguistics Intelligence (55%) and Logical Mathematical Intelligence (39%).They may got barrier in mastery of language and think in words.And at least they are less good to detect patterns, reason deductively, and think logically, it may cause of the limitations skill in calculations.

CONCLUSION
From the finding it can be concluded that the students of the fourth year English Department of STKIP Abdi Pendidikan Payakumbuh had good in Interpersonal Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, and Intrapersonal Intelligence.And they are good enough at Naturalist Intelligence, Bodilykinesthetic Intelligence, and Spatial Intelligence.And at least they are low at Linguistic Intelligence and Logical-mathematic Intelligence.
It implies then that lecturers need to be able to organize the process of learning with Multiple Intelligence to increase students' interest in their studies.Lecturers should identify the most preferable activities in the clasroom so that they are categorized to see which ones help develop types of students' intelligences.Later on, an understanding of MI theory support the notion of the use of media, multimedia, technology, and method that has a significant role in the classroom because it surely helps lecturer to create better, logical, reflective and creative activities in the classroom.
