Abstract

This research is a mini-research study, which aims to find out the point of view of educators on the differences of students in the learning process. Understanding the point of view of students becomes a comparison and evaluation material for educators. This study uses a qualitative method, with an interview technique. The research was carried out under additional tutoring or daily courses with the XII class students who came from different schools. Based on the results of the study, it was found that every student has differences, both physically and non-physically, these differences are motivated by various factors, namely heredity, environment, independence, and interests or talents. In the learning process, the dominant difference is in intelligence. Individual intelligence from point of view of students can be assessed by educators based on aspects of their knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Individual intelligence can be also influenced by the factors of interest and learning styles. Every child has its advantages and disadvantages, children with low levels of intelligence need to be a concern for educators by recognizing differences in other individual intelligence.
