ABSTRACT
The purpose of this
research is to know whether cooperative learning jigsaw
and think pair share (TPS) approaches can increase problem solving skills of student,
is there any difference of problem solving skills of student using cooperative learning
jigsaw and think pair shar
e approaches, what kinds of mistake that student made in
solving problem using cooperative learning jigsaw and think pair share approaches on
prism sub topic in VIII grade at SMP Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi.
The population of this research is all students in V
III grade at SMP Negeri 1
Tebing Tinggi that
divided
into four classes. The sample of this research is 52
students that divided into two classes; those are 26 students in VIII
-
1 was taught
using cooperative learning jigsaw approach and 26 students in VIII
-
2
was taught
using cooperative learning think pair share (TPS) approach.
Analysis result of gain for problem solving using t testing with significant
level
=0,05 for the first hypothesis is
t
calculate
= 14,7639 and t
table
= 1,706, so that
t
calculate
> t
table
. So,C
ooperative learning jigsaw approach can increase problem solving
skills of student on prisms subtopic in VIII grade at SMP Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi. For
the second hypothesis,
t
calculate
= 6,1916 and t
table
= 1,706 so that t
calculate
> t
table
. So,
c
ooperative learning Think Pair Share (TPS) approach can increase problem solving
skills of student on prisms subtopic in VIII grade at SMP Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi. For
the third hypothesis,
t
calculate
= 2,324 and t
table
= 2,008 so that
-
2,009 < t
calculate
< 2,009.
Because of that, the criteria
-
t
/2(50)
< t
cal
< t
/2 (50)
is rejected. So,
t
here is
significant
difference
of problem solving skills that taught using
cooperative learning jigsaw
approach and Think Pair Share (TPS) approach
on
prism
sub
topic in VIII grade
at
SMP
Nege
ri 1 Tebing tinggi.
The kinds of mistake that student made after taught using jigsaw approach
are: (a) errors in determining the height and base of prism, the height of triangle and
trapezoid, and drawing the prism, (b) wrot
e not complete information from the
problem, (c) wrote wrong formula of surface area, volume and the height of prism,
(d) wrote not complete strategy to solve the problem, (e) errors in calculation and
algebra operation, (f) errors in calculating area and
perimeter of prism base, (g) errors
for using Pythagorean theorem, (h) did not make re
-
evaluation correctly.
The kinds of mistake that student made after taught using think pair share
approach are
same with jigsaw approach, but they did not make errors in
determining
the height and base of prism.
