PENERAPAN KOOPERATIF NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER DALAM MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR ILMU PENGETAHUAN ALAM MATERI GAYA

Abstract

The aim of this  study was to improve learning objectives for students in the Natural Sciences force material for fourth-grade students at elemntary school through the implementation of the Numbered Head Together Cooperative learning model. This study utilized a classroom action research design and was executed over two cycles, with each cycle comprising four stages: a. Planning, b. Implementation, c. Observation, d. Reflection. The participants of the study included 25 fourth-grade students. The research employed observation and test sheets as its testing instruments, utilizing these methods to gather data. The findings indicated that in Cycle I, 9 out of 25 students achieved the KKM, resulting in 36% classical completeness. Conversely, in Cycle II, the number of students reaching the KKM rose to 21 out of 25, leading to an 84% classical completeness. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in learning objectives for students when employing the Numbered Heads Together Cooperative learning model in the Science of Force Material which corresponded with the Cycle I classical completeness of 36% and the increased Cycle II classical completeness of 84%.
