Abstract

Recently, the quality
of education is still an urgent problem in the enhancement
ofthe quality of the national education system, especially in the improvement of
the· classroom learning quality. One of the efforts to conduct learning activities in
the classroom ()ptimally
is· ... by .making learning methods varied. One learning
method implemented in developed countries nowadays is the cooperative learning
method, -namely a: method designed to make students work cooperatively in
groups· to solve the learning materials. There are five kinds
of cooperative learning
methods, namely:
1) Student Teams Achievement Division ·(STAD); 2) Team Game
Tournament (TGT);3) Jigsaw
II; 4) Team Accelerated Instruction (TAl); ··and 5)
Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition(CIRC). The effectiveness of the
cooperative methods was investigated by implementing the Jigsaw
II and STAD
methods in one of the natural science subjects, namely chemistry, in SMP 2 Mlati
Sleman. The methods were implemented
in two experiment groups while a
conventional method, consisting of the lecturing and question-answer techniques,
was implemented in the control group. The Jigsaw II and STAD cooperative
learning methods were effective to improve learning achievement, learning
motivation, and learning activities in the classroom.
