IMPLEMENTATION OF COOPERATIVE TEACHING METHODS TO INCREASE OF TEACHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC ELECTRONICS SUBJECS IN ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT SMK NEGERI 1 PARIAMAN PADANG
This research is motivated from the learning outcomes of the students at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman class X TITL on subjects Understanding the Basics Electronics (MDE) which is still not optimal. One of the factors that influence student learning outcomes is the low learning process centered on the teacher (teacher center), so it can not raise the activeness of students in learning. Therefore, it’s really need a method of cooperative learning”Think Pair Share” that can encourage students to be more active and creative in the learning process. Students will discuss with friends his chairmate, and mastery the subject matter togother. Moreover, using this method the student is able to solve the problems experienced during the learning process well. The goal of this study is to see significantly the differences of student learning outcomes in subjects MDE using the Think Pair Share and lecture in SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman. This research is a Quasi Experiment with design ”Posttest Only Control Design”. The subjects were students of class X SMK N 1 Pariaman enrolled in the academic year 2015/2016 which consists of two classes, namely X TITL-1 and TITL-2. From these two classes were randomly selected, class X TITL-1 As the experimental and class X TITL-2 as the control class. To see the beginning of the student’s ability to analyze daily tests (UH) on the subjects of MDE. Collecting data in this study using achievement test (posstest) in the from of an objective matter as much as 25 items. Data were analyzed using two different test average (t-test). Based on the research results obtained average value 82.85 post test experimental class and control class 74.91. These results indicate that there are significant of student learning outcomes between experimental class using “Think Pair Share” cooperative methods compared with control classes using traditional method.
