Abstract

Science learning at the elementary school level still tends to be dominated by expository methods that have not been able to maximize students' cognitive engagement, even though they show a high interest in learning and social interaction. This condition results in limitations in the development of student learning independence, characterized by a high dependence on peer assistance. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively analyze the empirical needs of cooperative learning syntax in order to formulate a basis for developing an effective model to overcome student learning dependence in science learning. This study applies a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey method on 206 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through a validated and tested questionnaire for reliability, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and a needs index. The findings indicate that although students have a strong interest in learning and social interaction, their learning independence is still low and is characterized by a high dependence on peer assistance. On the other hand, students' preference for collaborative learning is also very dominant. These results indicate a sociocognitive gap in science learning. Therefore, this study provides a conceptual contribution in the form of a foundation for developing a cooperative learning syntax based on social scaffolding to bridge the gap between students' social potential and cognitive independence.
