ABSTRACTThrough the implementation of Classroom Action Research (PTK) teachers can conduct research on the interaction and participation of students in the learning process, the effectiveness of the use of methods and media learning. In addition, the teacher can also effectively analyze and diagnose what has been done in the classroom in the learning process. In other words through teacher classroom action research can improve the learning practice so that it becomes more effective.Classroom action research can also bridge the gap between educational theory and practice. This occurs because the activity is carried out on its own, in its own classroom, involving its own students through an action planned, implemented, and evaluated. Thus obtained a systematic feedback on what has been done in teaching and learning activities. In addition, it can be proved a theory of teaching and learning to be applied well in the classes that are occupied. If there is a theory that does not fit the conditions in its class, through the TOD the educator can adapt other theories for the benefit of the process and / or product of learning more effectively, optimally, functionally.From a policy perspective in the field of education, the teacher's understanding and ability on classroom action research is very important, especially regarding teacher certification and grade increase. Here then, it is necessary to do community service, in this case the school community in developing classroom action research.   ABSTRAK Melalui  pelaksanaan  Penelitian  Tindakan  Kelas  (PTK)  guru     dapat  melakukan penelitian terhadap interaksi dan partisipasi siswa dalam proses pembelajaran, efektifitas penggunaan metode dan media pembelajaran. Di samping itu  gurujuga secara refektif dapat menganalisis dan mendiagnosis apa yang telah dilakukan di kelas dalam proses pembelajaran. Dengan kata lain   melalui penelitian tindakan kelas guru dapat memperbaiki praktik pembelajaran sehingga menjadi lebih efektif.Penelitian tindakan kelas juga dapat menjembatani kesenjangan antara teori dan praktik pendidikan. Hal ini terjadi karena kegiatan tersebut dilaksanakan sendiri, di kelas sendiri, dengan melibatkan siswanya sendiri melalui sebuah tindakan-tindakan yang direncakan, dilaksanakan, dan di evaluasi. Dengan demikian diperoleh umpan balik yang sistematik mengenai apa yang selama ini dilakukan dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar. Di samping itu, dapat dibuktikan suatu teori belajar mengajar untuk diterapkan dengan baik di kelas yang ditekuni. Jika sekiranya ada teori yang tidak cocok dengan kondisi di kelasnya, melalui PTK pendidik dapat mengadaptasikan teori lain untuk kepentingan proses dan atau produk belajar yang lebih efektif, optimal, fungsional.Dari sisi kebijakan dalam bidang pendidikan, pemahaman dan kemampuan guru mengenai penelitian tindakan kelas, sangat penting terutama terkait sertifikasi guru dan kenaikan golongan. Di sinilah kemudian, perlu dilakukan pengabdian masyarakat, dalam hal ini masyarakat persekolahan dalam mengembangkan penelitian tindakan kelas.

    To learn something well, we need to hear, see, ask questions about it, and discuss it with others. Not only that, teachers need to "do it", that is to describe something in their own way, to show their example, to try to practice their skills and to do tasks that demand the knowledge they have gained. Problems to be studied in this research are: a. How to improve learning outcomes penjaskes especially soccer game using cooperative learning methods on students SDN 44 Lubuk Anau? b. The steps taken to improve the outcome of the guidance in January 2016? This research is a research action (action research) Because research done to solve the problem of learning in class. This research also includes descriptive research, because it describes how a learning technique is applied and how desired results can be achieved. According to Oja and Sumarjan (in point sugiarti, 1997: 8) there are four different types of action research, namely: (1) teacher action research as a researcher, (2) collaborative action research, (3) research of interlinked simulative action. (4) experimental social action research. In this action research uses collaborative research forms with teacher training eyes and in the teaching and learning process in the classroom as a teacher is the teacher of training eye while peneiti acts as an observer, the full responsibility of action research is observer (researcher). Data Analysis Technique, To know the effectiveness of a method in learning activities need to be held data analysis. In this research using qualitative descriptive analysis technique, that is a research method that is describe reality or facts in accordance with the data obtained with the aim to know learning achievements achieved sisw also to obtain student responses to learning activities and student activities during the learning process To analyze the success rate or percentage of students' success after the learning process each round is done by giving evaluation in the form of practice test at the end of each round. This analysis is calculated by using simple statistic that is: For learning mastery, There are two categories of mastery learning that is individual and classical. Based on the guidance of the implementation of teaching and learning curriculum 1994 (Depdikbud, 1994) that students have complete learning when the class gets 85% who have reached the absorption.

To learn a lesson well, we need to hear, see, ask questions about it, and discuss it with others. Not only that, teachers need to "do it", that is to describe something in their own way, to show their example, to try to practice their skills and to do tasks that demand the knowledge they have gained. Problems to be studied in this research are: Does using STAD cooperative model can improve the learning result of mathematics? Steps taken in using the STAD cooperative model.           The place of study is the place used in conducting research to obtain the desired data. This research took place at SD Negeri 08 Koto Berapak, Bayang District. The time of study is the time of the research or when the research is held. This study was conducted in the academic year 2017.         The subjects of the study were the students of the second grade of SD Negeri 08 Koto Berapak, Bayang District, in the year of 2017 on the subject of mathematics. This research uses Classroom Action Research (PTK). According to the PGSM Project Trainers Team, the TOD is a reflective form of study by actors undertaken to enhance the rational stability of their actions in performing their duties, deepening their understanding of the actions, and improving the conditions under which the learning practices are conducted (in Mukhlis, 2000: 3). Meanwhile, according to Mukhlis (2000: 5) PTK is a form of review that is systematic reflective by the actors to improve the learning conditions undertaken. The main purpose of PTK is to improve / improve the learning pratek on an ongoing basis, while the purpose of inclusion is to grow a culture of research among teachers            That is a set of plans and arrangements about classroom learning activities, as well as assessment of learning outcomes. It is a learning tool used as teacher's guidance in teaching and composed for each round. Each RP contains basic competencies, indicators of achievement of learning outcomes, specific learning objectives, and teaching and learning activities.            The results of data analysis and discussion can show some of the progress achieved during learning either through classical learning, cooperative STAD model, playing quiz, or learning outcomes. So the results of this class action research can be drawn conclusions as follows: 1. Learning STAD cooperative model can encourage students to learn about math more excited, improve learning process, and learning outcomes. 2. Playing quiz can encourage students to learn about math to be more passionate, improve learning process, and learning outcomes.             Some other findings obtained are the emergence of student creativity in making questions and answers, the number of questions posed by students, the responsibility of completing the task, the loss of boredom, even students prefer to complete the task rather than rest.
