Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe junior high school mathematics learning activities and describe the suitability of the Brain-Based Learning (BBL) learning strategy which focuses on intrapersonal intelligence in junior high school mathematics learning. The research is descriptive and qualitative. The data were collected through documentation studies, observations, and interviews with teachers and students. Teachers and students of junior high school SMP Assahil Lampung Timur Indonesia were involved in this research. The results showed that teachers only used expository learning strategies in learning activities and unsatisfactory learning outcomes. The teachers were never selecting learning strategies which focus on students' internal factors to be applied in learning. Based on these, taking into account the characteristics of learning strategies, students and junior high school mathematics material, it can be assumed that the Brain-Based Learning (BBL) learning strategy by focusing on students' intrapersonal intelligence is appropriate to be applied in junior high school mathematics learning and to enhance student’s learning outcomes.
Highlights
The implementation of learning strategies is believed to facilitate the achievement of the desired learning goals, namely improvement, and improvement of students’ competence (Eggen & Kauchak, 2012)
In mathematics learning at SMP Assahil LampungTimur, students only receive knowledge passively
Based on the results of the study of documentation, observation, and interviews conducted, it was found that the learning activities that had taken place so far only used expository learning strategies
Summary
The implementation of learning strategies is believed to facilitate the achievement of the desired learning goals, namely improvement, and improvement of students’ competence (Eggen & Kauchak, 2012). There is an educative interaction between teacher and students. The teacher, as a learning designer, must be able to determine the right learning strategy to be applied. The choice of learning strategies is based on the characteristics of subjects and the needs of students (Silver, Strong, & Perini, 2012). Many things need to be considered related to the needs of these students including new abilities, attitudes, motivation, independence, learning styles including the varying level of intelligence of students. Conformity to all aspects makes it easy to achieve the stated learning goals
