This study aims to determine the impact of using one of the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) type cooperative learning models on mastery of basic basketball techniques in grade VII junior high school students. This study used an experimental method using a randomize pretest posttest control group design. A total of 75 students were involved in this study, and were divided into two groups, namely 37 experimental groups and 38 people as a control group. The number is obtained from the entire class VII taken using cluster random sampling. The data collection technique uses a type of skill test of basic passing, shooting and dribbling techniques in basketball games that emphasize assessing their movements. The data analysis technique uses the help of the IBM SPSS version 25 program with an independent sample t-test analysis type at a confidence level of 0.05. Based on the results of the analysis obtained, researchers concluded that there is a significant average difference between the STAD type cooperative model and the direct teaching model, where the STAD model has a greater influence on basic basketball technical skills. It is expected that PJOK teachers pay more attention to the characteristics of students, so that they are able to apply models that are in accordance with their characteristics.
