Students’ Kinesthetic Intelligence in Physical Education: Garnering Indonesian Literatures

Abstract

The purpose of this current research was to examine studies discussing Indonesian students’ kinesthetic intelligence in physical education. This study was conducted through a library research. Data was collected by sorting and selecting articles published in some reputable journals in the national scopes. From the result of the search, five articles were designated as the research data. For analyzing the data, a content analysis was used. Researchers used Campbell, Campbell Dickinson’s (1996) concept of multiple intelligence, more precisely kinesthetic intelligence to analyze the obtained data. The findings of the study reveal that the Indonesian physical education teachers still utilized traditional methods and strategies in teaching the subject to improve students’ kinesthetic intelligence. Moreover, the objectives of this subject were to equip students with competences to be physically active for lifetime. The implication of the studies mainly discussed the importance of uplifting the quality of physical education teachers to facilitate students’ kinesthetic intelligence development better. The present study also informs the possibility for future researchers to develop the findings of this article.

The improvement of physical condition and interest of elementary school students toward pencak silat sport in terms of kinesthetic intelligence

“…The results of the research show that elementary school students who have high kinesthetic intelligence are quicker to acquire physical abilities. This shows that students who have kinesthetic intelligence will find it easier to adapt and express every movement taught by the teacher/trainer (Syofyan & Siwi, 2018;Yavich & Rotnitsky, 2020;Imrah Dewi et al, 2021). Because kinesthetic intelligence really helps students in controlling body movements and skills in managing objects and being able to make good movements, such as: running, jumping, throwing, and catching.…”

“…Providing appropriate opportunities for the development of various abilities based on the theory of kinesthetic intelligence will pave the way for students to participate in-depth. This means that kinesthetic intelligence is very necessary because it can make a positive contribution to efforts to improve the physical condition and interests of students (Martin & Morris, 2013;Imrah Dewi et al, 2021;Mashkoor & Hameed, 2022). Therefore, the purpose of this research is to improve the physical condition and interest of elementary school students based on the review of kinesthetic intelligence and provide solutions to any training problems in the field through training models developed based on science and technology studies.…”

The influence of kinesthetic intelligence in enhancing the choreographic creativity of aerobics instructors

“…Kinesthetic intelligence is a modality to perform aerobic exercise movements (Imrah Dewi et al, 2021;Laely & Yudi, 2018). Kinesthetic intelligence is very important for every human being because one of the benefits of intelligence is that it can help someone in dealing with various existing problems, both problems in everyday life and problems in a job.…”

Experience of Foreign Countries in the Development of Kinetic Intelligence of Students

“…Before introducing innovations in education, a student must be prepared for the learning process and adapt to this process. Audio, visual and kinetic means are an important factor in students' mastery of the educational process (Dewi et al, 2021).…”
