Cooperative Learning Model Based On Rhythmical Movement Method To Embed The Operation Concept Of Whole Number

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop cooperative learning model based on rhythmical movement method to help embed the operation concept of the whole number, then the development of this learning model can be utilized to give a variation of learning model and facilitate student’s understanding to increase student’s motivation and achievement. The method used in this research is case study and Quasi-Experiment. Case studies are used in the process of developing models and learning devices. The use of this case study is based on the thought of obtaining the necessary data in depth. While Quasi-Experiments are used to implement learning models in order to know the effectiveness. The research subjects are fourth-grade students of SDN Tamansari II Yogyakarta. The results of this study indicate that the cooperative learning model based on rhythmical movement method is feasible with Good criteria and get a positive response from students at 81.09%. In addition, this learning model also effectively to embed the operation concept of the whole number.
