The Contribution of Visual-spatial Intelligence towards the Drawing Capability of 11th Grader Teknik Gambar Bangunan (TGB) Students on Interior-exterior Subject in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung

Abstract

This research background is based on the gap among students regarding the capabilities to understand and visualize a certain shape and color of interior-exterior subject, seen by the visual-spatial intelligence of the students themselves. Visual-spatial intelligence and drawing ability research are focusing towards the 11th grader in Teknik Gambar Bangunan (TGB) of interior-exterior subject in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung. Thus research aimed to attain the data of: (1) Visual-spatial intelligence of 11th grader TGB SMK-PU Negeri Bandung; (2) The drawing ability of 11th grader TGB of Interior-Exterior subject in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung; and (3) The contribution of visual-spatial intelligence towards the drawing ability of TGB students on Interior-Exterior subject in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung. The theoretical framework or the research method used in this research is the descriptive correlation method with the quantitative approach. Sample technique of the research is saturation sampling. The sample of this research is about 67 TGB students of 11th grader in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung; and The collecting technique of the data is based on the data analysis test technique of product moment. The Result of the research shows that : (1) Visual-spatial intelligence of 11th grader TGB students in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung are majority under the average number with the percentage of 62,89%; (2) The drawing ability of 11th grader TGB students in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung are majority under the average standardized rate with the percentage of 59,70%; (3) There is a significant contribution between the linkage of visual-spatial intelligence towards the 11th grader TGB students in SMK-PU Negeri Bandung in interiorexterior subject. Those data occurred based on the calculation of 4,805 (t count) > 1,667 (t table) with the significance of 5%. Visual-spatial intelligence actually put efforts on giving the contribution with the amount of 25,72% towards the ability student's drawing and the data above is also supported by other factors.
