The Implementation of Arabic Vocabulary Learning Strategies Design Based on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences /Penerapan Desain Strategi Pembelajaran Kosa-Kata Bahasa Arab Berbasis Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner

Abstract

One of the factors that cause students to fail in learning new information is the mismatch between the teacher's teaching strategy and the student's learning strategy. This paper is established based on teachers' difficulties in implementing Multiples Intelligence-based learning. Another reason is the teachers' essential need in designing learning strategies based on Multiple Intelligences to ease students' understanding and strengthen the students' memory as the fundamental provision for mastering Arabic skills, especially in learning Arabic vocabulary. Through qualitative literature research taken from books and previous researches, it is found that there are some factors that may give difficulties for teachers in designing learning strategies based on Multiple Intelligences; the focus of determining activities based on one type of intelligence and a one-way learning paradigm. The design of multiple intelligence-based learning strategies contains three components. The first is the design of learning activities that contains various types of intelligence. The second is the two-way learning paradigm. The third is the activities' existence to facilitate students’ comprehension and strengthen students' memory through the use of the highest learning modalities, linking material with life safety, packaging material with emotions, and giving an appreciation of student learning progress. The results of the implementation of the learning strategy design show that when the students learn more activities, they will get greater the opportunity to understand learning. Conversely, the fewer students' learning activities, the fewer opportunities students have to understand learning.
