Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the average frequency of learning styles and multiple intelligences of male and female students and to explore the relationship between the two with the learning style theory of Sheryl Wetter Riechmann & Anthony F. Grasha which is not widely used in Indonesia. The sample in this study was (n=981) with men (n=340, 34.65%) and women (n=641, 65.34%) taken from high school in Medan city, North Sumatra province. The results that can be reported are that there are only two learning styles in this study that are reported to have an average difference between women and men, namely independent and avoidant learning styles. Then for the average multiple intelligences, it is reported that there are 7 regions with different averages between men and women, while for the other 2 intelligence areas the averages are not much difference between men and women. Meanwhile, the correlation analysis of learning styles and multiple intelligences has varied correlations, but it can be concluded that there are three negative relationships but the values are not large and insignificant. Then there are 10 weak correlations but 6 are reported to be significant with p-value = < 0.050. then there are 97 relationships of learning styles and multiple intelligences that are reported to be significant with p-value = <0.001, for a full report can be seen in the results in this article.
