Abstract

The study aimed to identify microscopic comprehension, multiple intelligences, and learning style of Chemistry Education Department students, as well as to investigate the relationship among multiple intelligences, learning style, and microscopic comprehension. The descriptive correlation study was the method applied in this research. The sample consisted of 277 Chemistry Education Department students of Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM). Microscopic Comprehension Conceptual Test (MCCT), Multiple Intelligences Test (MIT) and Learning Style Test (LST) were used as the instruments of the research. Data analysis techniques used percentage and correlation coefficient of Pearson Product Moment. The results showed that (1) The ability of Chemistry Education Department students to understand the microscopic concept can be categorized as good and sufficient, (2) Mostly dominant multiple intelligences of the students are intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalistic and kinesthetic. Only a few students who have dominant intelligence in Linguistic and mathematical logic, (3) Most of the students have auditory and kinesthetic learning style, (4) There is positive relationship between multiple intelligences and microscopic comprehension, (5) There is weak relationship between visual together with auditory learning style and microscopic comprehension, and (6) The relationship between kinesthetic and microscopic comprehension do not exist.
