APPLICATION OF THINK PAIR SHARE TYPE COOPERATIVE LEARNING MODEL WITH USE ICM (INDEX CARD MATCH) STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF STUDENTS IN CLASS X SMAN 2 SINGINGI

Abstract

The implementation of good and challenging learning in learning does not only form learning that is centered on the teacher or only on the students, but must contribute to each other so that educational goals can be realized.The aim of this research is to determine the differences in conceptual understanding of students who apply the TPS cooperative learning model using the ICM method and those who use conventional learning. This type of research is a Quasi Experiment using a Posttest Only Design, namely using one experimental class and one control class. The sampling technique is random sampling. The sample in this study was students from SMAN 2 Singingi using class X6 as the experimental class and class X5 as the control class. Research data was collected using a test in the form of a posttest totaling 20 questions which were analyzed descriptively to see the increase in students' understanding of concepts, using SPSS 29 for inferential analysis. The results of this research were analyzed descriptively and inferentially, explaining that there was a difference between students' understanding of the concepts of the experimental class and the control class, the results of the average score of the experimental class were 70% higher than the control class which had an average score of 60%. It can be concluded that the think pair share cooperative learning model using the index card match method can increase the conceptual understanding of class X students at SMAN 2 Singingi.
