SHARE KNOWLEDGE IN GROUPS AND DEVELOPING IMPORTANT SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ELEMENTARY EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

Cooperative learning is an active learning process where students share knowledge in groups. STAD cooperative learning can also effectively improve students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to improve students' social science learning achievement through the use of STAD type cooperative learning models with the help of audiovisual media. This study uses an action research method with a cycle system, which consists of planning, implementation, observation, reflection, and revision. The research participants were second-grade students at SDN Pamulang 02 on the subject of social science. The results of the first cycle study showed 75.86% of students had gained mastery of learning, and 24.14% of students had not gained mastery of learning. The results of the second cycle study showed 93.10% of students had gained mastery learning, and 6.90% had not gained mastery learning. This study concludes that the use of STAD type cooperative learning models with the help of audiovisual media can improve student social science learning outcomes.
