Teachers' Efforts to Improve Students' Mathematics Learning Outcomes Through the Use of Teams Assisted Individualization Cooperative Learning Models

Abstract

Cooperative learning is a learner-centered learning process, where

students share knowledge in groups. The cooperative learning model

helps students acquire academic content and skills. Team Assisted

Individualization (TAI) has a rationale for adapting learning that is

able to capture the meaning of individual differences related to

students' abilities or achievements. Several published studies have

explored the TAI cooperative learning model, but studies focusing on

the subject of elementary school mathematics will be undertaken in

this study. Therefore the purpose of this study is to describe the

application of the use of TAI cooperative learning in improving the

mathematics learning outcomes of second-grade elementary school

students, as well as to analyze the impact of applying the TAI

cooperative learning model in improving student mathematics

learning outcomes. This study has shown that the TAI cooperative

learning model is proven to be able to improve second-grade

students' mathematics learning outcomes in one of the public

elementary schools in South Tangerang City, Banten. Where the final

results of the study showed an increase in students' math scores

starting from pre-cycle to cycle 2 and reaching a maximum of 37

students or 90.2% of 41 students obtaining a complete learning

achievement score. Meanwhile, the four students who had not

obtained mastery learning were given re-teaching and enrichment

according to the needs of each student.
