Abstract

Departing from the not optimal critical thinking skills of grade V students in social studies learning at SDN Gugus IV Hasanuddin Surakarta, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) type cooperative model. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental posttest-only nonequivalent control group design, involving 53 students divided into experimental and control classes. Data was obtained through a critical thinking ability test equipped with observation and documentation, then analyzed using the Independent Samples t-Test after meeting the assumptions of normality and homogeneity. The results of the analysis showed that the average score of the experimental group reached 74.62, higher than the control group of 52.04, with a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05). These findings confirm that the implementation of STAD makes a real contribution to improving the quality of students' critical reasoning. Such effectiveness is related to the intensity of group interaction and the active involvement of students in solving problems. Thus, the STAD model has important implications as a relevant learning strategy to strengthen critical thinking skills in the context of science and science learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

Although cooperative learning models have been widely implemented, low student engagement in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning remains an obstacle, while studies on the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model at the elementary school level in the Cengklik area remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of implementing the TGT model on the IPAS learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Cengklik Surakarta. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The study population comprised 254 fourth-grade students from five A-accredited elementary schools in Nusukan Urban Village. Through cluster sampling, 54 students from SD Negeri Cengklik were selected as the sample and divided into an experimental class consisting of 28 students and a control class consisting of 26 students. Data were collected through observations, interviews, tests, and documentation using a test instrument comprising 12 multiple-choice questions whose validity and reliability had been established. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and an independent-samples t-test for hypothesis testing. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a mean post-test score of 82.43, which was higher than the control class mean of 67.96. The hypothesis test yielded a calculated t-value of 5.019, which was higher than the critical t-value of 2.882, with a significance value of 0.000. These findings confirm that implementing the TGT model has a significant effect on improving students’ IPAS learning outcomes. The TGT model can be used as an innovative learning alternative for educators to create a more participatory and competitive learning environment.
