Java Culture Internalization in Elektrometri Learning Based Inquiry Laboratory Activities to Increase Inter-Intrapersonal Intelligence

This study aims to improve inter-intrapersonal intelligence chemistry student teachers who have internalized java culture through the implementation of elektrometri learning based inquiry laboratory activities. Quasi experimental design with pretest-posttest control group used in this study and difference between front-end tests are assumed to be effect of treatment. Subjects were 35 students as control class and 29 students experimental class from Chemistry Education Department, Science and Mathematics Faculty, State University of Semarang who contracted Instruments Analytical Chemistry Practicum subject on academic year 2010/2011. Javanese cultural internalization measured by descriptive from completed questionnaires, inter-intrapersonal intelligence measured by quantized observations with rubric, while concept understanding measured by narrative form tests. Increased of concepts mastery analyzed by t-test. Measurement observation result of inter-intrapersonal intelligence was determining total score then compared % increase for each indicator. The results showed that implementation of learning based inquiry laboratory activities elektromeri material on chemistry student teachers can improve inter-intrapersonal intelligence and student concepts mastery. Javanese culture internalization contributes positively to increased inter-intrapersonal intelligence
