Abstract:
The purposes of this study were 1) to develop an intrapersonal training application for enhancing intrapersonal intelligence among primary school students; 2) to develop intrapersonal intelligence test; and 3) investigate the effect of the developed intrapersonal training application by comparing the different score of Intrapersonal Intelligence between pre-and-posttest within experimental groups between groups on sex and general intelligence, by comparing the response accuracy score and response time on intrapersonal intelligence test, and by comparing absolute EEG power while doing intrapersonal intelligence test before and after using training application. The eighty primary students were recruited and divided into four groups. The study was a Factorial design. The instrument consisted of 1) the intrapersonal training application, 2) the paper-pencil Intrapersonal intelligence and computerized Intrapersonal intelligence test, and 3) Portable EEG Emotiv Epoc+ with 14 electrodes. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test and two-way ANOVA.
The results demonstrated that 1) The intrapersonal training application composed of six activities 2) There were two types of the paper-and-pencil and computerized intrapersonal intelligence tests. The results of using the intrapersonal training application being measured from a paper-and-pencil and computerized intrapersonal intelligence tests found that intelligence scores after the experiment were higher than before the experiment (p<.05). There were significantly differences between gender on the interpersonal intelligence score (paper-and-pencil based test) and between high and low general intelligence on the interpersonal intelligence score (computerized based test). In addition, the absolute EEG power of the participants were higher than before the experiment at the AF3 F7 F3 FC5 FC6 F4 AF4 P7 P8 T7 and T8 electrode site. There was an interaction effect between sex and general intelligence on the interpersonal intelligence score for both paper-and-pencil and computerized based tests and the absolute EEG powers.
In conclusion, the intrapersonal training application could enhance the intrapersonal intelligence of primary school students.
