THE EFFECT OF THE STAD-TYPE COOPERATIVE LEARNING MODEL ON STUDENT COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING IN CITIZENSHIP

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Students’ cooperation is still considered to be relatively low. This can be seen from the students’ average test score of 68, while the minimum mastery criterion (KKM) for the Civics Education (PPKN) subject is 72. When given group assignments, students tend to show a lack of collaboration with their peers. During the learning process, the teacher explains the material using a lecture method to help students understand. However, in reality, this method tends to make students feel bored and disengaged, leading them to not pay attention to the teacher’s explanation.

PURPOSE

This study aims to determine the effect of the Cooperative Learning Model of the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) type on students’ cooperation and understanding in the Civics Education (PPKN) subject in Grade 3 of Sepulu 1 Elementary School.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This research employs a quantitative approach. The data collection techniques include tests and questionnaires. The analytical methods used are validity test, reliability test, normality test, and paired sample t-test. The instruments used consist of a questionnaire with 10 statement items and a test comprising 20 questions. The research was conducted in Grade 3A during the even semester at Sepulu 1 Elementary School, involving 31 students.

RESULT

The results of the study show that the paired sample t-test for cooperation obtained a significance value of 0.000, and the significance value for understanding was also 0.000. Since the significance values are less than 0.05, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of the Cooperative Learning Model of the STAD type on students’ cooperation and understanding in the Civics Education subject in Grade 3 of Sepulu 1 Elementary School.

CONCLUSION

Based on the data analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that the Cooperative Learning Model of the STAD type has a significant effect on students’ cooperation and understanding in the Civics Education subject in Grade 3 of Sepulu 1 Elementary School.
