Abstract

This experimental research was aimed to reveal the effect of cooperative learning models viewed from the level of learning motivation on students’ learning achievement on mathematics. The data were analyzed using the Two-Way ANOVA. The conclusions of this study are: (1) there were effects of interaction between cooperative learning models (TPS and NHT) and learning motivation on mathematics learning achievement, (2) the mathematics learning achievement of students with high level of learning motivation who were taught using TPS model is higher than those who were taught using NHT, and (3) the mathematics learning achievement of the students with low level learning motivation who were taught using TPS model is insignificantly different than those who were taught using NHT.

Highlights

In the 2012/2013 National Examination fail rate for senior high school (SMA/MA) in South Sulawesi province, Pangkep district was ranked third which indicated its low outcomes of students’ learning activities
Treatment implemented in the first group was mathematics learning with cooperative learning model of Think Pair Share (TPS) technique and the second group was mathematics learning with cooperative model of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) technique
Based on the study results it can be concluded that 1) there were no interactions between cooperative learning model and learning motivation on mathematics learning outcomes

Summary

Introduction

In the 2012/2013 National Examination fail rate for senior high school (SMA/MA) in South Sulawesi province, Pangkep district was ranked third which indicated its low outcomes of students’ learning activities. The district was ranked first for the fail rate of its vocational high schools. The average score for mathematics in the 2012/2013 national exam was the lowest compared to other subjects. It can be identified from the average scores of two vocational high schools in. Namely SMK Negeri 1 Bungoro and SMK Negeri 2 Bungoro. The yields of these two schools, respectively, for Bahasa Indonesia were 5.75 and 5.37; English were 5.60 and 5.19; and Mathematics were 4.11 and 4.20
