PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF TIPE THINK PAIR SQUARE (TPSq) DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA SISWA KELAS VIII SMP N 1 PADANG PANJANG

Sari

Based on the results of interviews of researchers with teachers of mathematics
subjects who teach class VIII SMP N 1 Padangpanjang obtained information that
student learning outcomes are still low. Factors that affect the low learning outcomes of
mathematics learners are learning is still centered on the teacher, the teacher teaches
the students with the lecture method, questions and answer and giving training,
sometimes group discussion methods. Even though learning using group discussion is
needed if there are tasks or excercises that are considered difficult for individual
students to do indivual.One way to solve this problem is to application of cooperative
learning model type Think Pair Square (TPSq) in mathematics learning.
The purpose of this research is "To know the improvement of students'
mathematics learning outcomes in the affective and psychomotor spheres after the
implementation of cooperative learning model type TPSq in the class VIII SMPN 1
Padangpanjang academic year 2017/2018. This type of research is experimental
research, with the design of The Static Group Comparison: Randomized Control Group
Only Design.
The learning result of the affective and psychomotor spheres experienced an
increase in every meeting with very good category. The data analysis of the final test
result is done using t-test. Based on the results of hypothesis testing for student learning
outcomes in the cognitive domain, obtained and = 1,67
then H_0 rejected. Based on this it can be concluded that the results of learning
mathematics students who apply learning with the cooperative learning model type
TPSq is better than the result of learning mathematics students without applying the
cooperative learning model type TPSq on students of class VIII SMPN 1
Padangpanjang academic year 2017/2018.
