Intrapersonal Intelligence, Differentiated Learning, High-Quality Human ResourcesAbstract
The Differentiated learning is a student-centered learning that can serve as an effective strategy to foster intrapersonal intelligence, ultimately contributing to the development of high-quality human resources through education. Teachers, as facilitators, play a pivotal role in understanding and addressing students' diverse learning needs, including the cultivation of intrapersonal intelligence—an essential component in shaping individual character and personal abilities. This study aims to explore the role of teachers in implementing differentiated learning to enhance students’ intrapersonal intelligence. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis within a vocational high school setting. The findings reveal that teachers who are adept at recognizing each student's unique potential and who create adaptive, responsive learning environments significantly contribute to the development of students' self-awareness, emotional regulation, and decision-making abilities. Furthermore, effective differentiated learning strategies have been shown to inspire students to discover and maximize their potential, thereby supporting the development of human resources who are not only intellectually capable but also possess strong intrapersonal competencies. The researchers also served as facilitators in enhancing teacher competencies in the P4 Central Jakarta program for vocational high school educators.
