Abstract
This research was a development research that used ADDIE design (analyze, design, develop, implementation, and evaluate). The aim of the study was to develop teaching material based on multiple intelligences to improve multiple intelligence and higher order thinking skills. The characteristics of teaching material developed the insertion of multiple intelligences, namely linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligence. The sample research was students of class X in one of the high schools in Juntinyuat-Indramayu. The results showed that: 1) the feasibility of teaching material based on multiple intelligences have an average score of 2.75 with proper status; 2) the results of the readability test of teaching materials showed a reading rate of 82.1% in the high category; 3) interpersonal intelligence was the dominant intelligence by students in both classes, the improvement of multiple intelligences in the moderate category in the treatment class and the low category in the comparison class; 4) improvement of higher order thinking skills in the moderate category in the treatment class and the low category in the comparison class; 5) Positive student responses to teaching material are 80.8% with strong categories.
