Abstract

This research was conducted at a high school located in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study aims to obtain a description of the spatial abilities of male students and female students who have dominant mathematical logical intelligence. The subjects of this study consisted of a male student (S1) and a female student (S2) of class X high school who had dominant mathematical logical intelligence. Two students selected as research subjects were netted through a multiple intelligence test given to 29 students in class X MIA 5. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study. The spatial ability data of the two research subjects was obtained through geometric questions and unstructured interviews. In this study, researchers described students’ spatial abilities based on 5 elements of spatial intelligence proposed by Maier (1998) which consisted of: (1) spatial perception on SG1-01 and SG2-01, (2) spatial visualization on SG1-02 and SG2-02, (3) mental rotation on SG1-03A and SG2-03A, (4) spatial relations on SG1-03B and SG2-03B, and (5) spatial orientation on SG1-04 and SG2-04. The results showed, in solving SG1: (1) S1 was more dominant in using his spatial ability in solving SG1 01, SG1 03A, SG1 03B, and SG1 04, and integrating spatial ability and mathematical logical ability in solving SG1 02; (2) S2 was more dominant in using her spatial ability in solving SG1 01 and SG1 04, integrating spatial ability and mathematical logical ability in solving SG1 02, and more dominantly uses mathematical logical ability in solving SG1 03A and SG1 03B.
