<![CDATA[Abstract: This research aims to design, test the validity and practicality, and measure the effectiveness of the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model based on NIDA syntax (Navigate, Introduction, Discuss, Action) in improving students' understanding and skills in learning the art of Padengan dance. The products developed in this research include learning model books, teacher guides, as well as learning tools in the form of lesson plans and research instruments. This research uses research and development (R&D) methods with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The research subjects consisted of teachers and students of class VIII SMP Kemala Bhayangkari Makassar. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, documentation, questionnaires, as well as testing product validity and practicality through expert assessments and user responses. The results of the research show that: (1) there is a need for a learning model that is more interactive and oriented towards local culture in learning dance, (2) the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model that was developed has been validated by experts and was declared feasible and practical to implement, (3) the implementation of this model received a positive response from teachers and students, increasing student involvement in learning, and (4) this learning model was proven to be effective in increasing students' conceptual understanding, motor skills and cultural appreciation of Padengan Dance. With these findings, it is hoped that the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model based on NIDA syntax can become a reference for arts and culture teachers in increasing the effectiveness of dance learning in junior high schools.
