This research is based on the low learning outcomes of students in economics subjects and aims to determine the effect of the application of the make a match type cooperative learning model assisted by puzzle media in improving student learning outcomes in financial institution materials in the economy. The method used was an experiment with the pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. The data collection technique was carried out through a multiple-choice test. The research population includes all students of class X of SMAN 6 Tasikmalaya for the 2025/2026 school year. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely class X-3 as an experimental class that was given treatment using the make a match model with the help of puzzle media, and class X-7 as a control class that used conventional learning. The results of data analysis and hypothesis testing with independent sample t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of < 0.000, so the research hypothesis was accepted. The average posttest score in the experimental class was higher than in the control class. Thus, it can be concluded that the make a match learning model assisted by puzzle media is more effective in improving student learning outcomes compared to conventional learning models.
