Application of Structural Equation Modeling – Generalized Structured Component Analysis (SEM - GESCA) (Case Study: Multiple Intelligences SMAN 1 Rumpin-Bogor)

Abstract

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a method that can be used to analyze the data that can not be measured directly. One of SEM methods is Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). The data used in the research is primary data taken from taken from SMAN 1 Rumpin Bogor. The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of parent's parenting and learning method on learning motivation and multiple intelligences which are the most influential on the students. Multiple intelligences by Gardner in 1983 divided into eight intelligences ie linguistic, log-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence. The result of analysis showed that the parent's parenting gave significant influences to log-mathematical intelligence, kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, naturalistic intelligence and learning motivation whereas learning method only gave significant influence to kinesthetic intelligence and musical intelligence.
