A Upaya Meningkatkan Prestasi Belajar PKn Melalui Metode Pembelajaran Kooperatif Model STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) Pada Siswa Kelas IX C Tahun Pelajaran 2019-2020

Abstract

This paper aims to illustrate efforts to enhance learning achievement in the subject of Civic Education (PKN) through the implementation of the cooperative learning method using the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model. This method emphasizes collaboration, interaction, and active participation of students in the PKN learning process. The study outlines the steps of implementing the STAD model and its impact on PKN learning achievement. The STAD model combines team cooperation and individual responsibility aspects in the learning process. Students are grouped into heterogeneous teams, encouraging cross-ability interaction and mutual assistance among team members. Each team member plays a crucial role in understanding the subject matter and mastering PKN content. The learning process involves specific cycles, including content delivery, group work, intra-team quizzes, and recognition of individual and group achievements. In this research, the STAD method yielded positive results in enhancing PKN learning achievement. Students displayed an increased understanding of citizenship values, government structures, and relevant social issues. Additionally, students developed social skills such as cooperation, communication, and leadership through team interactions. Overall, the implementation of the cooperative learning method using the STAD model proves effective in enhancing PKN learning achievement. This approach fosters an inclusive, collaborative, and responsive learning environment tailored to diverse student needs. By promoting active participation, social interaction, and individual responsibility, the STAD model positively contributes to improved understanding and student engagement in the PKN subject.
