This research aimed at improving students reading comprehension through cooperative learning strategies using numbered heads together in MTs Ma’arif 2 Muntilan. This was classroom action research with 3 cycles. There were 4 steps in conducting the research; (1) Planning; (2) Acting; (3) Observing; (4) Reflecting. This research involved 27 students of eight graders. The instruments used in this research were observation, interview, test (pre-test and post- test), field-notes, questionnaire, and documentation. It was found that the students’ average score in pre-test was 46, the first post-test was 59. The second post-test was 81 and the third post-test was 94. It meant that the post-test was higher than pre-test. Besides, the students also had been well interested during the learning process in each cycle. In conclusion, the findings of this research showed that through CL strategies using NHT could improve the students’ reading comprehension. Hence, it is recommended for the further researcher to use NHT as an alternative strategy in improving the students’ reading comprehension.

ABSTRACTThe research is an action research aiming at improving the learning output of social science using cooperative learning model of Numbered Head Together. The subjects of the research are the fifth grade students of Sekolah Dasar Negeri Batu Kembar in the even semester, the year of 2015/ 2016 with the number of students of 21 consisting of 12 boys and 9 girls. The research used cycling procedure containing four steps of planning, doing, observing, and reflecting. The action research is done in two cycles. Each cycle is conducted in one meeting. After the implementation of Numbered Head Together, the learning output of students social science improves from the first to the second cycle. The result shows that the average score in the first cycle is 65, and the learning completion is 50.00%, while in the second cycle, the average score is 74 and the learning completion is 85.00%. The learning process score in the first cycle is 75.75%, and it improves in the second cycle to be 90.00%. The result of students behavior observation shows improvement of students discipline, cooperation, bravery which in the first cycle is 80.50% and it improves in the second cycle to be 85.50%. Therefore it can be inferred that the implementation of the cooperative learning model of Numbered Head Together is able to improve the learning output of the fifth grade students social science in an elementary school.

This research used classroom action research. The data was collected through tests, field notes, and interviews. The findings of this research revealed that there was an improvement in students' technical vocabulary size obtained from the pretest, cycle 1 to cycle 2. The average score of the pretest was very low, 0.4. Then, it gradually improved in cycle 1 became 0.83 with an increasing point was 0.43 points. Next, the average score found in cycle 1 then better improved in cycle 2 which turned into 1.43 with the increasing point from cycle 1 to cycle 2 was 0.6 points.

Nowadays, every teaching and learning process is supposed to apply a student-centered concept in which the pupils are the center of the process, and they are encouraged to participate actively in the process. Therefore, all education levels have implemented this concept, including the university level. Unfortunately, many pupils are still passive during the teaching process. This phenomenon also appears in the English Language Teaching Department of Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Purwokerto. The low participation of the students happens in all classes, including grammar class. Based on the pre-observation process in a grammar class, the average score of student participation was only 58.82%. From seven categories of student participation, two indicators were still 0% called asking a question and giving constructive or positive comments to the teacher or other students. There was also one category that only achieved 41.18%. Besides, the atmosphere was not conducive since some students talked to their classmates and looked quite bored. Based on this condition, the researchers decided to do action research. After doing a literature study, we agreed to use literary works to overcome the problem. The research was done in one cycle that consisted of three meetings. The instruments used for collecting the data were an observation sheet of student participation and a teacher observation sheet. The data gathered were analyzed using simple statistics like percentage and average score, then the analysis presented through diagram and words. The literary works used in this study were a short story, a film script, and a novel. This action research is successful if the percentage of student involvement can achieve 65%.  The result reveals that student participation was getting better after the implementation of literary works in the teaching and learning process. In the first action, the average percentage was 69.29 %, then it became 75.89% in the second meeting. In the third act, the student involvement achieved 78.15%. The most impressive finding appeared in the third meeting. Three students asked questions. Asking questions as one of the indicators of participation did not appear in the first and the second meeting. The atmosphere was getting conducive since the implementation of the literary works in the grammar class. In short, this action research is successful in boosting student involvement in grammar class.
