The Effect of the Cooperative Learning Model of the Two Stay Two Stray Technique on the Communication Skills of Students

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model of the two stay two strays (TSTS) technique on the communication skills of students. This research is quantitative research with quasi-experimental methods. The design used in this study is Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subjects of this study were students of grades XI IPA_3 and XI IPA_4 Public High School 6 South Tangerang. The results showed that the communication skills of students with the cooperative learning model of the TSTS technique obtained a pretest score of 55.7 and a posttest of 84.97. The communication skills of students in the experimental class increased with an N-Gain of 0.65 in the medium category and the control class obtained an average pretest score of 51.5 and an average posttest score of 71.7 while the N-Gain gain of 0.38 in the medium category. Based on the results of the analysis obtained t count 3.11. It was concluded that the cooperative learning model of the TSTS technique affects the communication skills of students. The implementation of the learning process using the cooperative model of the TSTS technique went very well with an average percentage of teacher activity implementation of 96.5% and students of 89.5% very good criteria. The response of students to the learning process using the cooperative learning model has an average of 80.15% with strong criteria. So the cooperative learning model of the TSTS technique affects the communication skills of students.
