Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) in Mathematics Learning Viewed from Multiple Intelligences

Abstract

In this era, cooperative learning is very important in learning mathematics. The aim of this study is to find the effect of cooperative learning type TAI on the students’ mathematics achievement viewed from multiple intelligences. This research is quasi experiment. The population of this study is the students of 8th grade Wonogiri district in the academic year 2016/2017. The sample of this research was taken using stratified cluster random sampling technique. The data was collected through the achievement and multiple intelligence tests. Data were analyzed in two ways, ANOVA with unequal cell and scheffe test. The result shows that this learning method has significant value 0.003; it means that students’ mathematics achievement using TAI had successfully given different effects on mathematics learning achievement. While, in multiple intelligences category it has significant value 0.043, it means that there is a different mathematics learning achievement in multiple intelligences. There is no interaction between multiple intelligent and learning models. TAI learning model can be used by the teachers in mathematics learning, which is expected to improve the mathematics achievement.
