EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE THINK PAIR SHARE (TPS) TYPE COOPERATIVE MODEL FOR GRADE VII STUDENTS OF SMPIT AL-ISHLAH MAROS

Abstract

This type of research is a pre-experimental study involving only one group as the experimental class and was conducted in six meetings. The experimental unit in this study was the seventh grade students of SMP IT Al-Ishlah Maros in the 2019/2020 academic year, consisting of 122 students. The design of this study was the one group pretest-posttest design. The instruments used to collect data were learning outcome tests with pretests and posttests in the form of essays, student activity observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The results of data analysis show that the average score of the student's pretest learning outcome test is 22.65 from the ideal score with a standard deviation of 10.38, the minimum value is 9 and the maximum value is 48. While the average score of the student's posttest learning outcome test is 88.65 from the ideal score of 100 with a standard deviation of 7.16, the minimum value is 76 and the maximum value is 100. From the posttest results, it was obtained that 29 students or 100% achieved individual mastery and this means that classical mastery was achieved. For the results of observations on student activities, 84.10% of students were active in learning, and students' positive responses after the implementation of learning were 96.55%.Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that mathematics learning through the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model is effective for seventh-grade students of SMPIT Al-Ishlah Maros. In addition, there was a significant increase after being given learning through the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model in seventh-grade students of SMPIT Al-Ishlah Maros.
