Implementation of Stad and Jigsaw Type Cooperative Learning Models in Science Learning at Lower Class Islamic Elementary School

Abstract

In general, science subjects in the lower grades (grades 1 to 3) are not in curriculum 13, but in fact, science subject matter is always present in every learning theme. At the age of grades 1 to 3 children begin to interact with their peers and the environment around them. To develop the child's social spirit, a lower grade teacher is certainly very good if learning uses cooperative methods. One of the alternative cooperative learning models that can be used by teachers in the lower grades is the STAD and jigsaw cooperative learning methods. Writing this scientific paper aims to find out how the STAD and Jigsaw learning models are applied in the lower classes. The method used in this scientific writing is a type of qualitative research that takes a background at MI Ma'arif Caruy. The results showed that the STAD and Jigsaw learning methods in the lower grades could be applied well even though they were still accompanied by the teacher. Students could collaborate with their group mates or with other groups with the help of worksheets that had been prepared by the teacher, so that students could learn science material well. can work together, respect each other, appreciate and help each other if his friends are having difficulties.
