Implementation of the Jigsaw Type of Cooperative Learning Model Oriented to Improve Junior High School Students' Learning Outcomes

Abstract

One of the low student learning outcomes is the conventional learning model. This research aims to analyze the application of the Jigsaw Type Cooperative Learning Model Oriented to Middle School Student Learning Outcomes. This type of research is classroom action research. The Classroom Action Research used in this research is a model developed by Kemmis and McTaggart. The Classroom Action Research was conducted in two cycles, each with two meetings. The number of students involved was 36, consisting of 22 (61%) female and 14 (39%) male. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and tests. The instrument used to assess students' physics learning outcomes in each cycle is in the form of multiple-choice questions. The data analysis technique uses qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. The research results showed increased student learning outcomes, individually and collectively, after two action research cycles. The average student learning outcome increased from 79.8 to 81.1. The number of students who completed from 75% to 83.3%. Therefore, using a cooperative learning paradigm such as Jigsaw can improve students' understanding of physics. It was concluded that the Jigsaw Type Cooperative Learning Model could improve junior high school students' learning outcomes.
