Abstract

The purpose of learning Discrete Mathematics is to improve students' abilities to organize reasons or develop intelligence. However, students learning outcome is still low. One of the students’ weaknesses of mastering Discrete Mathematics is that it is difficult to understand the lesson that involves less students' logical thinking. For that reasons and many obstacles in learning discrete mathematics, so the researcher develops discrete mathematics textbook based on multiple intelligences. The problem statement of this research is "How to increase Multiple Intelligence of University of PGRI Adi Buana of Surabaya’s student using Discrete Mathematics textbook that was developed?". The Multiple Intelligence developed only limited to 3 intelligences: linguistic intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, and visual spatial intelligence. The development of teaching materials is based on a modified 4D model consisting of four stages: definitional, design, development, and disseminate phases. To know the learning progress based on multiple intelligences, the researcher develops some problems containing applied of discrete mathematics. The problem is given to students before using textbooks that have been developed and after using textbooks. The results of the research are linguistic intelligence increased by 78%, logical mathematical intelligence increased by 80.13% and visual spatial intelligence increased by 67.47%.
